Eligibility Criteria

Age 18+ · All Participants · 10 Total Inclusion Criteria

Mark “Yes” if the following statements are true for you:
The tissue has been provided for biomarker analysis.
The text states that there is a locally and independently confirmed histological diagnosis of a high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Cohort A of the BCG post-induction cohort had a statistically significant better 5-year OS than the pre-induction cohort
been associated with increased mortality in cancer patients? A study was conducted to determine if there is a correlation between Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2 and increased mortality rates in cancer patients
For the duration of the BCG treatment period and for at least 7 days after the last dose, male participants will either abstain from sex with women as their preferred and usual lifestyle, or else agree to use contraception unless they have been confirmed to be azoospermic.
The individual has been treated with one adequate course of BCG induction therapy for the treatment of HR NMIBC.
After receiving BCG therapy, some people will still have HR NMIBC.
The individual has had a cystoscopy and a transurethral resection of bladder tumor to completely remove any remaining tumor tissue.
