An open label, single-arm, phase II multicenter study of the safety and efficacy of CG0070 oncolytic vector regimen in patients with BCG-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: Interim results.

Objectives: CG0070 is a replication-competent oncolytic adenovirus that targets bladder tumor cells through their defective retinoblastoma pathway. Prior reports of intravesical CG0070 have shown promising activity in patients with high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who previously did not respond to bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). However, limited accrual has hindered analysis of efficacy, particularly for pathologic subsets.

A first in human phase 1 study of CG0070, a GM-CSF expressing oncolytic adenovirus, for the treatment of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer.

Purpose: We assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics and anticancer activity of intravesical CG0070, a cancer selective, replication competent adenovirus, for the treatment of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer.

Materials And Methods: A total of 35 patients received single or multiple (every 28 days × 3 or weekly × 6) intravesical infusions of CG0070 at 1 of 4 dose levels (1 × 10(12), 3 × 10(12), 1 × 10(13) or 3 × 10(13) viral particles). Response to treatment was based on cystoscopic assessment and biopsy or urine cytology.
