An Open-Label, International, Multicenter Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravesical T3011 Injection in Participants With BCG-Unresponsive High-Risk Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) or BCG-Exposed, Chemotherapy-Unresponsive Intermediate /High-Risk NMIBC
Considering participating in a START clinical trial?
Study Summary
This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase II clinical study to evaluate the tolerability, safety, and preliminary efficacy of intravesical administration of Herpes Virus T3011 Injection in participants with BCG-unresponsive high risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) . To confirm the recommended Phase II dose (Recommended Phase II Dose) based on the existing 2×10 9 PFU dose, and to expand the evaluation of the drug's anti-tumor efficacy in patients with BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer based on the optimized dose. To evaluate clinical efficacy indicators including complete response rate (Complete Response Rate), event-free survival rate (Event-free Survival Rate) and recurrence-free survival rate (Recurrence-free Survival Rate), and to evaluate safety data and pharmacokinetic parameters
To assess the efficacy and safety of intravesical T3011 in BCG‑naïve high‑risk NMIBC patients.
