A Clinical Trial Aimed At Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of VT-101 for the Treatment of Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

Summary

This is an experimental study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VT-101 for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age 18-75 years old (including 18 and 75 years old), male or female;
2. Patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) confirmed by histopathological examination results (pathological stage: high-grade Ta or any T1 level papillary carcinoma or cystoscopic random biopsy confirmed presence of bladder in situ carcinoma (CIS) (with or without papillary carcinoma): according to the results of the biopsy taken within 8 weeks before the first treatment according to the study. If multiple bladder biopsies are needed to confirm eligibility, the last biopsy must be taken within 8 weeks.

   For patients with high-risk disease at the second TURBT, defined as high-grade Ta/T1 lesions, the subject must completely remove all visible tumors before enrollment and be recorded at the baseline cystoscopy.

   The results of the cellular pathology examination for high-grade urothelial carcinoma must be negative before enrollment, excluding those with unresectable high-risk and extremely high-risk NMIBC in the dose-escalation stage.

   CIS does not require complete removal, but must be completely removed along with papillary carcinoma before enrollment, and be recorded at the baseline cystoscopy. No requirement is made for negative urine cytology results for malignant cells.

   For those with unresectable high-risk and extremely high-risk NMIBC included in the dose-escalation stage, urine cytology results for malignant cells may not be required to be negative before enrollment.

   When the investigator assesses the subject as medically unfit for TURBT or radical cystectomy or the subject refuses TURBT or radical cystectomy after consulting a urologist, the subject may also participate in this study.
3. Moderate, high risk and very high risk NMIBC; Specific definitions are as follows:

   1. Medium-risk NMIBC:

      ● Does not meet the conditions of low risk, high risk, and very high risk groups, and does not have CIS
   2. High-risk NMIBC:

      * T1 HG/G3 tumors without CIS and not eligible for the very high risk group
      * Tumors present CIS and do not meet the conditions of the very high risk group
      * Ta LG/G2 or TI G1, no CIS, and three clinically relevant risk factors Ta HG/G3 or TI LG, without CIS, and with at least two clinically relevant risk causes plain
      * TI G2, without CIS and containing at least one clinically relevant risk factor c.very high risk NMIBC:
      * Ta HG/G3 with CIS and three clinically relevant risk factors ●TI G2 with CIS and at least two clinically relevant risk factors
      * TIHG/G3, CIS, with at least one clinically relevant risk factor ●TIHG/G3, CIS, with three clinically relevant risk factors
      * CIS in the prostatic urethra
