Virus Therapy

CG0070 + Nivolumab for Bladder Cancer

Phase 1
Waitlist Available
Led By Roger Li, MD
Research Sponsored by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Participants must have histologically confirmed MIBC (T2-T4a, N0-N1, M0 per American Joint Commission on Cancer [AJCC]) pure or mixed histology urothelial carcinoma. Clinical node- positive (N1) patients are eligible provided the lymph nodes (LNs) are within the planned surgical LN dissection template.
The initial TURBT that showed muscularis propria invasion should be within 90 days prior to beginning study therapy. Participants must have sufficient baseline tumor tissue from either initial or repeat TURBTs. The local site pathologist will be asked to estimate and record the rough approximate percentage of viable tumor in the TURBT sample (initial or repeat TURBT with highest tumor content) to document at least 20% viable tumor content prior to registration. This is to ensure adequate tissue is available to perform tumor infiltrating CD8+ T-cell assessment. (The actual CD8+ T cell analysis will be done by a Central Laboratory and will not be done prior to registration.)

Study Summary

This trial will test a new combination therapy for patients with bladder cancer who are not eligible for cisplatin treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC) who can't have cisplatin chemotherapy due to poor kidney function, hearing loss, neuropathy, heart failure or personal choice. They must be fit for certain bladder surgeries and willing to provide tissue samples. Pregnant women, those with serious medical conditions or allergies to the drugs, prior immune therapy use or other active cancers are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of CG0070 (a drug put directly into the bladder) and Nivolumab (an IV drug), in patients not eligible for standard chemotherapy. It aims to assess how safe this combo is and how well it works before removing the bladder.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include typical reactions related to immune therapies such as fatigue, skin issues, inflammation of organs like lungs or intestines; also potential local effects from CG0070 in the bladder like discomfort or urinary symptoms.
