Study Summary

This is a prospective, single-arm study evaluating the safety and efficacy of NDV01 KIT, a fixed-dose combination of gemcitabine HCl and docetaxel, administered via intravesical instillation in patients with high-grade Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC). NDV01 KIT includes 60 mL Carbopol Gel followed by 15 g NDV01 solution (gemcitabine HCl 1000 mg and docetaxel 40 mg), administered biweekly for six treatments, followed by monthly maintenance therapy for up to 12 months. The study includes a pharmacokinetic (PK) sub-study assessing systemic exposure to NDV01's active ingredients.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Subjects may participate in the study if they meet all the following criteria:

Inclusion criteria:

  • Aged 18 - 80 years old

  • Able to give informed consent

  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of high grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) - patients having high-grade disease at first evaluation after induction BCGalone (at least 5 of 6 doses) may qualify in the absence of disease progression.

  • Participants must be ineligible for or have elected not to undergo radicalcystectomy.

  • Available for the whole duration of the study.

  • Life expectancy >2 years, in the opinion of the investigator.

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status 2 or less.

  • Absence of concomitant upper tract urothelial carcinoma or urothelial carcinomawithin the prostatic urethra. Freedom from upper tract disease (if clinicallyindicated) as indicated by no evidence of upper tract tumor by either intravenouspyelogram, retrograde pyelogram, computed tomography (CT) scan with or withouturogram, or MRI with or without urogram performed within 6 months of enrolment.

  • Patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance at low risk for progression,defined as Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) < 10 ng/dL, Gleason score 6 and clinicalstage tumor-1 (cT1) are permitted to be in the study at the discretion of theinvestigator (see exclusion criterion 10).

  • Female patients of childbearing potential must use maximally effective birth controlduring the period of therapy, must be willing to use contraception for 1 monthfollowing the last study drug infusion and must have a negative urine or serumpregnancy test upon entry into this study. Otherwise, female patients must bepostmenopausal (no menstrual period for a minimum of 12 months) or surgicallysterile. 'Maximally effective birth control' means that the patient, if sexuallyactive, should be using a combination of two methods of birth control that areapproved and recognized to be effective by Regulatory Agencies.

Exclusion

Exclusion criteria:

  • Current or previous evidence of muscle invasive (muscularis propria) or metastaticdisease presented. Examples that increase the risk of metastatic disease are (butnot limited to):

  • Presence of lymphovascular invasion and/micropapillary disease as shown in thehistology of the biopsy sample.

  • Patients with T1 disease accompanied by the presence of hydronephrosis secondary tothe primary tumor - Unless scheduled for treatment like nephrostomy or JJ stentinsertion..

  • Current systemic therapy for bladder cancer.

  • Symptomatic urinary tract infection or bacterial cystitis (once satisfactorilytreated, patients can enter the study).

  • Clinically significant and unexplained elevated liver or renal function tests.

  • Women who are pregnant or lactating or refuse to commit to using contraceptionanytime during the study.

  • Any other significant disease or other clinical findings which in the investigator'sopinion would prevent study entry.

  • History of malignancy of other organ system within past 5 years, except treatedbasal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and ≤ pathologicaltumor-2 (pT2) upper tract urothelial carcinoma at least 24 months afternephroureterectomy.

Study Design

Total Participants: 70
Treatment Group(s): 1
Primary Treatment: NDV01 intravesical controlled release formulation of gemcitabine and docetaxel
Phase: 2
Study Start date:
August 01, 2024
Estimated Completion Date:
August 31, 2026

Study Description

Eligible patients who sign informed consent will receive intravesical treatment with NDV01 KIT, consisting of a sequential instillation of Carbopol Gel followed by NDV01 solution using a 14F urethral catheter. The treatment phase includes six instillations on Days 1, 14, 28, 42, 56, and 70. Primary Disease Evaluation (PDE) will be conducted on Day 100 (±3). Patients achieving a complete response may continue into a maintenance phase with monthly instillations through Month 12.

Maintenance period of monthly treatments on Day 107, Day 140, Day 187, Day 220, Day 250, Day 287, Day 310, and Day 340.

The Primary Disease Evaluation (PDE) will be performed on Study Day 100±3.

A subset of patients will participate in a PK sub-study involving up to 15 blood draws to assess systemic levels of gemcitabine and docetaxel during the first treatment cycle.

Primary Objectives:

Assess safety of NDV01 KIT through the study period. Evaluate the complete response (CR) rate in patients with high-grade NMIBC.

Secondary Objectives:

Assess the durability of CR. Evaluate event-free survival (defined as high-grade recurrence-free survival). Assess the durability of event-free survival. Determine incidence and time to cystectomy. Determine overall survival. Monitor response durability through long-term follow-up.

Exploratory Objective:

Evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters of NDV01 KIT in a subset of patients during the initial treatment phase.

A subject that fails to meet CR at PDE visit will undergo reinduction of 6 biweekly installations of NDV01, which will be followed by maintenance treatments per the protocol schedule.
