New Virus-Based therapy offered to bladder cancer patients who failed standard care
NCT ID NCT06443944
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This program provides early access to cretostimogene grenadenorepvec, a virus-based therapy, for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has not responded to standard BCG treatment. Eligible participants have a specific type of bladder cancer (CIS with or without high-grade Ta/T1). The goal is to offer a potential treatment option while gathering more information about its effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cretostimogene grenadenorepvec (a virus-based therapy that targets cancer cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for patients with bladder cancer that hasn't responded to standard therapy, potentially delaying or avoiding bladder removal surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an expanded access program, not a formal trial, so data on effectiveness and safety are still limited. The therapy may not work for everyone and could have side effects.

Specifically, the definition of BCG unresponsive CIS will also require the following: * Pathologically confirmed relapsed or persistent CIS (with or without HG Ta or HG T1 disease) * Completion of qualifying BCG treatment (e.g., "5+2" minimum exposure) within 15 months of the initial qualifying dose of BCG. 2. Have all Ta and/or T1 disease and all CIS resected or fulgurated, as feasible, prior to study treatment 3. Ineligible to receive radical cystectomy (medically unfit) or refusal of radical cystectomy according to Investigator assessment. 4. Acceptable baseline organ function Exclusion Criteria: 1. Muscle invasive bladder cancer, locally advanced or metastatic bladder cancer. 2. Has had active autoimmune or inflammatory disease requiring systemic treatment within 4 weeks of Day 1. Replacement therapy is not considered an excluded form of systemic treatment and is allowed. 3. Has received systemic anticancer therapy, including investigational agents, within 4 weeks of Day 1 4.
