Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a malignancy with a high recurrence and progression rate, particularly in patients who fail to respond to standard Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy. OncoTherad (MRB-CFI-1) nanoimmunotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic option, with potential to modulate immune responses and inhibit tumor progression. This study evaluated the clinical efficacy of OncoTherad (MRB-CFI-1) nanoimmunotherapy in patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC and investigated correlations between therapeutic outcomes and histopathological and molecular findings.

This study assessed the safety and efficacy of OncoTherad (MRB-CFI-1) nanoimmunotherapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients unresponsive to (BCG) and explored its mechanisms of action in a bladder cancer microenvironment. A single-arm phase I/II study was conducted with 44 patients with NMIBC who were unresponsive to BCG treatment. Primary outcomes were pathological complete response (pCR) and relapse-free survival (RFS).
