On December 16, 2022, the FDA approved the adenoviral vector-based gene therapy nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg (brand name Adstiladrin) for the treatment of adult patients with high-risk bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ (CIS). The product represents the first approved adenoviral vector-based gene therapy and the first approved gene therapy for bladder cancer. Determination of efficacy was based on results from Study rAd-IFN-CS-003 (Study CS-003), a single-arm trial in 98 evaluable patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS who received intravesical instillations of the gene therapy product (75 mL of nadofaragene firadenovec at 3 × 1011 viral particles per mL) once every 3 months.

Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is the current standard of care for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), but recurrence is common. Additional therapeutic options are a major unmet medical need for treating unresponsive patients. Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) plays a central role in mounting innate and adaptive immune responses to tumor cells, and activation of STING is a promising immunotherapeutic approach.

Recently, sequential intravesical gemcitabine and docetaxel (gem/doce) are being used for NMIBC. This study aims to compare oncologic outcomes between sequential intravesical gem/doce versus additional BCG in patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC.

Objective: To update the CCAFU recommendations for the management of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
Methods: A systematic review (Medline) of the literature from 20222024 was performed, taking into account the elements of diagnosis, treatment options and monitoring of NMIBC and evaluating references with their level of evidence.
Results: The diagnosis of NMIBC (Ta, T1, or CIS) is made after complete and deep tumour resection.

Introduction: Nadofaragene firadenovec (Ad-IFNα/Syn3) is now approved for BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer (BLCA). IFNα is a pleiotropic cytokine that causes direct tumor cell killing via TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, angiogenesis inhibition, and activation of the innate and adaptive immune system. We established an immunocompetent murine BLCA model to study the effects of murine adenoviral IFNα (muAd-Ifnα) gene therapy on cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment using a novel murine equivalent of Nadofaragene firadenovec (muAd-Ifnα).
