Non Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer | Biological: CG0070 Biological: Pembrolizumab Injection Other: n-dodecyl-B-D-maltoside | Phase 2 |
An opened label trial designed to evaluate CG0070 and DDM in combination with Pembrolizumab in patients with NMIBC who have failed prior BCG therapy.
The target population of 37 subjects with CIS with or without concomitant high-grade Ta or T1 papillary disease will be enrolled.
BCG failure is defined as persistent or recurrent disease within 12 months of completion of adequate BCG therapy.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 35 participants |
Allocation: | N/A |
Intervention Model: | Single Group Assignment |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase 2, Single Arm Study of CG0070 Combined With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Non Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) Unresponsive to Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) |
Actual Study Start Date : | December 8, 2020 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | June 2023 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | June 2023 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Single Arm
CG0070 will be administered intravesically (IVE) following a sequence of bladder washes with 5% DDM and normal saline. CG0070 will be administered weekly x 6 on Day 1 to Week 6. If the patient shows persistent high-grade disease at Week 12, the patient will receive another cycle of 6 weekly treatments. If there is no disease present at Week 12 (e.g., complete response) then the patient will receive 3 weekly treatments. Beginning at Week 24, patients will receive weekly x 3 treatments every 3 months through Week 48 then every 24 weeks thereafter. Pembrolizumab will be given intravenous (IV) concurrently starting on Day 1 and continue every 3 weeks for up to 2 years. |

- Ineligible for radical cystectomy or refusal of radical cystectomy
- Adequate organ function
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Immuno-deficient due to chronic steroid or other immunosuppressant use, HIV, or prior organ transplant
- Prior treatment with adenovirus-based cancer therapy
- Prior therapy with or intolerant to prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy
- Clinically significant or active cardiac disease
- Active autoimmune disease
