New bladder cancer device offered to patients with no other options
NCT ID NCT06877676
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This program gives patients with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer access to TAR-200 before it is officially approved. TAR-200 is a device placed into the bladder that releases medication over time. It is for patients who have tried all other treatments and cannot join a clinical trial.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TAR-200 (a drug-releasing device inserted into the bladder via a catheter)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for patients with high-risk bladder cancer who have run out of standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an expanded access program, not a formal trial, so results are not systematically collected. The treatment may not work for everyone and could have side effects like discomfort or infection from the device insertion.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: * Participant has exhausted all clinically appropriate alternative forms of treatment and is not eligible for, or does not have access to, a clinical trial * Histologically confirmed diagnosis of persistent or recurrent high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC), carcinoma in situ (CIS) (OR Tis) with or without papillary disease (T1, high-grade Ta), within 12 months of completion of the last dose of BCG therapy, in participants who have received adequate Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) * All visible papillary disease must be fully resected (absent) prior to initiation of treatment * Participants must be ineligible for or have elected not to undergo Radical Cystectomy (RC) * Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status Grade of 0, 1, or 2 Exclusion criteria: * Presence or history of histologically confirmed, muscle invasive, locally advanced, nonresectable, or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (that is, T2, T3, T4, and/or Stage IV) * Presence of any bladder or urethral anatomic feature that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may prevent the safe placement, indwelling use, or removal of TAR-200. Participants with tumors involving the prostatic urethra in men will be excluded * Evidence of bladder perforation during diagnostic cystoscopy * A history of clinically significant polyuria with recorded 24-hour urine volumes greater than 4000 milliliters (\>4000 mL) * Active malignancies (i.e., progressing or requiring treatment change in the last 24 months) other than HR-NMIBC
