Reducing Bladder Cancer: Comparing New and Standard Treatments for Patients

NCT06929286 · Recruiting
About this trial

This study is looking at how well different approved drug treatments work for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). It will compare a new drug called nadofaragene firadenovec to the usual treatments that doctors recommend. These usual treatments include gemcitabine, with or without docetaxel, mitomycin, re-treatment with BCG, or pembrolizumab. The goal is to find out which treatment is more effective.

Who to ask about joining
Bernard Bochner, MD646-422-4387
Who can join

Men and women aged 21 and older can join if they have high-grade NMIBC and their doctor thinks previous treatments have not worked well. Participants should not be planning to have surgery to remove the bladder or be in another clinical trial for NMIBC. The trial team will confirm who is eligible.

What happens during the trial

Participants will be placed in one of two groups randomly. One group will receive nadofaragene firadenovec, a new treatment given through the bladder every three months for up to a year. The other group will receive the best usual care, which includes a standard treatment of gemcitabine and docetaxel given through the bladder. Everyone in the study will receive treatment.

The trial team

The trial is sponsored by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Eugene Pietzak is the principal investigator.

Important dates
