Description
Summary
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravesical administration of EG-70 in the bladder and its effect on bladder tumors in patients with NMIBC.
This study study consists of two phases; a Phase 1 dose-escalation to establish safety and recommended the phase 2 dose, followed by a Phase 2 study to establish how effective the treatment is.
The Study will include patients with NMIBC with Cis for whom BCG therapy is unresponsive and patients with NMIBC with Cis who are BCG-naïve or inadequately treated.
Official Title
A Phase 1/2 Study of EG-70 as an Intravesical Administration to Patients With BCG Unresponsive Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) and High-Risk NMIBC Patients Who Are BCG Naïve or Received Incomplete BCG Treatment
Details
EG-70 is a novel non-viral gene therapy. EG-70 is designed to elicit a local immune response following delivery of the study gene therapy to the bladder urothelium. This approach of local administration through bladder instillation has the potential to induce a potent immune response exclusively at the site of the tumor, resulting in greater therapeutic benefit while reducing undesirable systemic toxicity.
Eligible BCG-unresponsive NMIBC patients will be enrolled in Phase 1, and Cohort 1 of Phase 2.
Eligible high-risk NMIBC patients will be enrolled starting in Phase 2 in separate single are cohorts include: BCG-naïve patients or BCG-exposed (incompletely treated) patients with Carcinoma in situ (CIS), and BCG-unresponsive HG Ta/T1 papillary disease without CIS.
Patients will be treated for up to four 12-week cycles of study drug instillation doses and assessments with follow up assessments.
Patients with complete response following the four 12-week cycles will enter up to 4 maintenance treatment cycles, and those remaining in complete response will enter another 4 maintenance treatment cycles or follow up assessments.

Open to people ages 18 years and up
BCG-unresponsive Patients:
BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without coexisting papillary Ta/T1 tumors who are ineligible for or have elected not to undergo cystectomy, and have experienced CIS disease within 12 months of treatment where: adequate BCG regimen consists of at least 2 courses of BCG where the first course (induction) must have included at least 5 or 6 doses and the second course may have included a re-induction (at least 2 treatments) or maintenance (at least 2 doses), and Cis must be documented or indicated by pathology
Phase 2 Only:
BCG-Naïve or BCG-incompletely treated Patients with CIS or BCG-unresponsive, HG
Ta/T1 papillary disease without CIS:
-NMIBC with current Cis of the bladder, with or without coexisting papillary Ta/T1 NMIBC tumor(s), who are ineligible for or have elected not to undergo cystectomy, where: either: cohort 2a) no treatment with BCG but may have previously been treated with at least 1 dose of intravesical chemotherapy following transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and Cis must be documented or cohort 2b) indicated by pathology incomplete BCG treatment (at least 1 dose and less than the 5+2 doses required for adequate dosing per Cohort 1) or cohort 3) patients who are BCG-unresponsive following adequate treatment, with HG Ta/T1 papillary disease without CIS.
All Patients:
- Patients who have previously been treated with a checkpoint inhibitor and failed treatment are eligible for inclusion 30 days post-treatment (Phase 1) or 3 months post-treatment (Phase 2).
- Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female, 18 years or older.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening.
- Female patients of childbearing potential must be willing to consent to using highly effective birth control methods; Male patients are required to utilize a condom for the duration of the study treatment through 3 months post-dose.
- In Phase 2, for patients with T1 lesions may be eligible after repeat TURBT if pathology shows non-invasive (Ta or less) or no disease.
- Performance Status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 0, 1, and 2.
- Hematologic inclusion: a. Absolute neutrophil count >1,500/mm3. b. Hemoglobin >9.0 g/dL. c. Platelet count >100,000/mm3.
- Hepatic inclusion: a. Total bilirubin must be ≤1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN). b. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase ≤2.5 x ULN.
- Adequate renal function with creatinine clearance >30 mL/min
- Prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time ≤1.25 x ULN or within the therapeutic range if on anticoagulation therapy.
- Must have satisfactory bladder function with ability to retain study drug for 60 minutes.
