Eligibility Criteria

Age 18+ · All Participants · 10 Total Inclusion Criteria

Mark “Yes” if the following statements are true for you:
You should be able to perform daily activities without assistance or with some limitations.
You must be at least 18 years old to participate.
Your white blood cell count must be at least 3.0 K/mm3 or higher.
You need to have at least 100,000 platelets per cubic millimeter of blood.
Your hemoglobin level should be at least 9 grams per deciliter (g/dL).
Your blood test for bilirubin (a substance produced by the liver) is within a normal range.
You have been diagnosed with non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (stages Ta, T1, or Tis) within the past 60 days through a biopsy known as TURBT.
You have a specific type of bladder cancer called urothelial carcinoma, and have had a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. If you have had the tumor removed and it did not invade the muscle layer of the bladder, you are eligible to participate as long as the re-resection was done within the last 60 days and you meet all other criteria.
Your blood test shows that you have enough infection-fighting white blood cells (ANC) in your body, with a count of at least 1.5 K/mm3.
Your liver enzymes (ALT and AST) should not be more than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What positive results is this research hoping to achieve?

"This clinical trial, which is slated to run for 6 months or so, has two primary objectives. The first aims to identify the Recommended Phase 2 Dose from BCG-unresponsive Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC). Additionally, associations between Complete Response Rate and 12 Month Relapse Free Survival Rates will be determined by analysing Baseline Tumor Immunohistochemistry Staining Patterns of PD-L1 as well as other pertinent Mechanisms of Action Targets. Lastly, the safety profile of NMIBC patients treated within each regimen studied will be assessed via NCI Common Terminology Criteria for" - Anonymous Online Contributor
