About this study
Official title: Phase I/II Study Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of Locally Administered Anti-CD40 Agonist Antibody (2141-V11) in Subjects With Bladder Cancer
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the study drug 2141-V11 in people whose NMIBC did not respond to standard treatment, and who will not have the standard surgical procedure to remove the bladder. The researchers will test different doses of 2141-V11 to see which dose is safest in people. The researchers will also do tests to see how the body absorbs, distributes, and gets rid of 2141-V11. This study is one of the first to test 2141-V11 in people, and the first to test 2141-V11 delivered through a catheter into the bladder.
Read the detailed description
If during Period 1 treatment, the treating physician notices recurrent disease in the bladder, the patient should undergo a biopsy or TURBT. If the pathology returns as HG Ta or CIS, the patient can resume treatment. If pathology returns as HG T1, the patient will be removed from treatment. If a high-grade recurrence occurs during period 2 or 3 treatments, the patient will be removed from treatment.
Cohort B is organized into two parts. Cohort B Part 1 is the completed safety assessment of fixed-dose intratumoral 2141-V11 (10 mg) monotherapy. Cohort B Part 2 is a randomized, open-label, pilot Phase II expansion employing a selection design to evaluate the clinical efficacy of intratumoral 2141-V11 (10 mg) in combination with intravesical gemcitabine (2000 mg in 100 mL) compared to intravesical gemcitabine monotherapy (2000mg in 100 mL) in subjects with BCG-naïve high-grade Ta NMIBC. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to the combination arm or the gemcitabine monotherapy arm.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
MTD/RP2D (Cohort A)
The MTD will be defined as the dose level at which the estimated DLT rate from the MCRM model is closest to the target acceptable rate of 20%. If an MTD is not found after the full dose escalation study has been completed, the next dose recommended by the MCRM algorithm will be considered the RP2D. A DLT will be defined as the occurrence of any clinically significant grade 3 or 4 AE (per CTCAE version 5.0) within the DLT evaluation period that is considered by the Principal Investigator or designee to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to 2141-V11.
Measured: 2 years
Reported number of adverse events from baseline (start of 2141-V11 administration) up until the last follow-up visit after 2141-V11 administration (Cohort B)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the study drug 2141-V11 in people whose NMIBC did not respond to standard treatment, and who will not have the standard surgical procedure to remove the bladder. The researchers will test different doses of 2141-V11 to see which dose is safest in people. The researchers will also do tests to see how the body absorbs, distributes, and gets rid of 2141-V11. This study is one of the first to test 2141-V11 in people, and the first to test 2141-V11 delivered through a catheter into the bladder.

Primary outcome
MTD/RP2D (Cohort A)
Time frame: 2 years
The MTD will be defined as the dose level at which the estimated DLT rate from the MCRM model is closest to the target acceptable rate of 20%. If an MTD is not found after the full dose escalation study has been completed, the next dose recommended by the MCRM algorithm will be considered the RP2D. A DLT will be defined as the occurrence of any clinically significant grade 3 or 4 AE (per CTCAE version 5.0) within the DLT evaluation period that is considered by the Principal Investigator or designee to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to 2141-V11.
Reported number of adverse events from baseline (start of 2141-V11 administration) up until the last follow-up visit after 2141-V11 administration (Cohort B)
Time frame: 1 year
AE severity should be graded using CTCAE version 5.0.
recurrence-free survival (RFS) Cohort B Part 2
Time frame: 2 years
Progression of disease
Time frame: 2 years
in all subjects will be defined as development of metastatic disease or death following radical cystectomy

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing anti-CD40 antibody 2141-V11, Intravesical Gemcitabine and Intravesical Gemcitabine with anti-CD40 antibody 2141-V11 in people with Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 7 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 80 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in United States. 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 combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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?
Contact Bernard Bochner, MD (646-422-4387, bochnerb@mskcc.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
MTD/RP2D (Cohort A) (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Aug 2026.
