Bladder cancer drug delivered directly: a new hope for BCG failures
NCT ID NCT04706598
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an immunotherapy drug called camrelizumab, given directly into the bladder, for people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that did not respond to BCG treatment. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if it can prevent cancer from coming back or getting worse. About 25 adults with fully resected tumors (except for some remaining carcinoma in situ) will take part.

- Active substance
- an immunotherapy drug called camrelizumab, given directly into the bladder
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with high-risk bladder cancer who have not responded to standard BCG therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 25 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug may cause side effects or fail to control the cancer.
