Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Cohort C Inclusion Criteria

In order to be eligible for participation in this trial, the patient must:

  • Be ≥18 years of age (or legal age of majority in the jurisdiction) on day of signing informed consent.
  • Have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2.
  • Have pathologically confirmed (WHO grading system employed for tumor grading) (Compérat 2019) BCG unresponsive CIS. Patients with BCG unresponsive CIS are those unlikely to benefit from, and who will not be receiving, further intravesical BCG. There is no maximum limit to the amount of prior BCG treatment, but maintenance BCG should be administered on a schedule consistent with standard induction-maintenance protocols (e.g., BCG weekly × 6 then weekly × 3 weeks administered at Months 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36). Specifically, the definition of BCG unresponsive CIS will also require the following:
  • Pathologically confirmed relapsed or persistent CIS (with or without HG Ta or HG T1 disease) within 12 months of completion (last dose) of adequate BCG treatment for HGUC (e.g., CIS, HG Ta, HG T1, or a combination of these HGUC pathologies).
  • Completion of qualifying BCG treatment (e.g., "5+2" minimum exposure) within 12 months of the initial qualifying dose of BCG (e.g., induction and initial maintenance or re-induction cycle must be completed over no more than a 12-month period of time).
  • Pathological confirmation of BCG unresponsive CIS within 8 weeks of study enrollment.
  • CIS specimen must be predominantly urothelial (transitional cell) and have less than 50% variant (e.g., sarcomatoid, squamous etc. component) histology.
  • No maximum limit to the amount of BCG administered but maintenance BCG should be administered on a schedule consistent with the SWOG 8507 regimen (Lamm 2000).
  • Have all Ta and/or T1 disease resected and all CIS resected or fulgurated, as feasible, prior to study treatment (e.g., prior to Day 1 treatment).
  • Ineligible to receive radical cystectomy (medically unfit) or refusal of radical cystectomy according to Investigator assessment.
  • Demonstrate adequate organ function
  • Patients must be willing to comply with study mandated cystoscopies, urine cytology, urograms, biopsies, and other procedures (including TURBT or other resection for all Ta/T1 disease) for the duration of the study. Patients who withdraw consent for these procedures will be withdrawn from the trial

Cohort P Inclusion Criteria

  • Be ≥18 years of age (or legal age of majority in the jurisdiction) on day of signing informed consent
  • Have ECOG performance status of 0 to 2.
  • Have pathologically confirmed (WHO grading system employed for tumor grading) (Compérat 2019) BCG-unresponsive HG Ta/T1 papillary disease without CIS. Patients with BCG-unresponsive HG Ta/T1 papillary disease are those unlikely to benefit from and who will not be receiving further IVE BCG. There is no maximum limit to the amount of prior BCG treatment, but maintenance BCG should be administered on a schedule consistent with standard induction-maintenance protocols. Specifically, the definition of BCG unresponsive HG Ta/T1 papillary disease without CIS will also require the following:
  • Pathologically confirmed recurrent HG Ta/T1 papillary disease without CIS within 6 months of completion (last dose) of adequate BCG treatment for HGUC (e.g., CIS, HG Ta, HG T1, or a combination of these HGUC pathologies).
  • Patients with HG Ta: Completion of qualifying BCG treatment (e.g., "5+2" minimum exposure) within 12 months of the initial qualifying dose of BCG (e.g., induction and initial maintenance or re-induction cycle must be completed over no more than a 12-month period of time).
  • Patients with HG T1: Patients may be eligible after the initial induction alone (5 of 6 doses of an induction course) as the qualifying BCG treatment.
  • Completion (last dose) of qualifying BCG treatment within 12 months of study enrollment.
  • Pathological confirmation of BCG-unresponsive HG Ta/T1 papillary disease without CIS within 14 days of study enrollment.
  • All pathology specimens must be predominantly urothelial (transitional cell) and have less than 50% variant (e.g., sarcomatoid, squamous etc. component) histology.
  • No maximum limit to the amount of BCG administered; however, there should be no more than 12 months between cycles of BCG
  • Have all Ta and/or T1 disease resected, prior to study treatment (e.g., prior to Day 1 treatment).
  • Ineligible to receive radical cystectomy (medically unfit) or refusal of radical cystectomy based on Investigator assessment.
  • Demonstrate adequate organ function,
  • Patients must be willing to comply with study-mandated cystoscopies, urine cytology, imaging, biopsies, and other procedures for the duration of the trial

About this study

Official title: A Phase 3 Study of Cretostimogene Grenadenorepvec in Patients With Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) Unresponsive to Bacillus-Calmette-Guerin (BCG)

This is a Phase 3, open-label, single arm trial designed to evaluate Cretostimogene patients with NMIBC who have failed prior BCG therapy. Up to approximately 115 CIS bladder cancer patients with or without HG Ta or HG T1 papillary disease will be enrolled under the original protocol through Amendment 4, which will comprise Cohort C. Cohort C is closed to enrollment.

Under Amendment 5-1, Cohort P was added to enroll up to 70 patients with HG Ta/T1 papillary bladder cancer.

Read more

Under Amendment 6, the target number of patients enrolled in Cohort P was increased to 75. Cohort P is open to enrollment

Cohort C and Cohort P will be analyzed and reported separately. Patients will have had to fail prior BCG therapy which is defined as having persistent or recurrent disease within 12 months (Cohort C) or 6 months (Cohort P) following the completion of adequate BCG therapy for HGUC

Read the detailed description

Cohort C(All Countries) :

An open-label trial designed to evaluate Cretostimogene + DDM in patients with NMIBC who have failed prior BCG therapy. Single treatment arm that enrolled 115 patients with carcinoma in situ with or without concomitant high-grade Ta or T1 papillary disease

BCG failure is defined as a persistent or recurrent disease within 12 months of completion of adequate BCG therapy.

Cohort P(Japan and the United States Only):

To determine the all-cause High Grade Event Free Survival (HG-EFS) of cretostimogene in up to 75 patients with BCG-unresponsive HG Ta/T1 papillary disease without CIS.

BCG failure is defined as a persistent or recurrent disease within 6 months of completion of adequate BCG therapy.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cohort C(All Countries):Enrollment ClosedExperimentalPatients with CIS with or without HG Ta/T1 papillary disease. Cretostimogene will be administered intravesically following a series of bladder washes with 5% DDM and normal saline. Cretostimogene will be administered weekly x 6 on Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. If the patient has disease recurrence at Week 13, they will receive another cycle of 6 weekly treatments. If there is no disease present at Week 13 then the patient will receive 3 weekly treatments. Cohort C(All Countries):Beginning at Week 25, patients will receive weekly x 3 treatments every 12 weeks through week 51 then every 6 months and then a last treatment at Weeks 73, 74, and 75 until the tumor returns or study treatment is completed at Week 97. Cohort C Extension( Japan and the US) At Week 25, patients will receive weekly x 3 treatments every 12 weeks through week 51 then every 6 months starting at Weeks 73, 74, and 75 through Weeks 157, 158, and 159 until the tumor returns or study treatment is completed at Week 159.
Receives: Biological: Cretostimogene Grenadenorepvec; Other: n-dodecyl-B-D-maltoside
Cohort P(Japan and United States Only) :Open to EnrollmentExperimentalHG Ta/T1 papillary disease bladder cancer patients. In Cohort P, cretostimogene will be administered at a dose of 1 × 1012vp IVE following instillation of 5% DDM. Cretostimogene will be administered every week for 6 treatments on Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. If the patient has recurrence at Week 13 or any timepoint, the patient will receive a second induction of 6 weekly treatments (Weeks 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18.). If the tumor has not returned they will receive 3 weekly treatments every 12 weeks (approximately 3 months) starting Weeks 13, 14, and 15 through Week 51 (approximately 12 months), and then every 6 months starting at Weeks 73, 74, and 75 (approximately 18 months) through Month 36.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 86 sites in United States, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cohort C: (time frame: 36 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04452591, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jul 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
