About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Open, Single-center Clinical Study of Disitamab Vedotin Combined With BCG Therapy in HER2-expressing High-risk Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
This is a prospective, open, single-center clinical study of the anti-HER2(Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) ADC(antibody-drug conjugate) drug Disitamab Vedotin in combination with BCG(bacillus Calmette-Guerin) therapy in very high-risk NMIBC(Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer) patients with HER2 expression (IHC 1+/2+/3+), which is being conducted in accordance with the Good Clinical Practice for Pharmaceutical Trials (GCP). Approximately 20 subjects will be enrolled in this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Disitamab Vedotin (2.0 mg/kg, administered intravenously every three weeks) in combination with BCG therapy.
Read the detailed description
The study will include patients with very high risk NMIBC with HER2 expression (IHC 1+/2+/3+) who refuse to undergo cystectomy or do not meet the requirements for cystectomy. Reasons for unsuitability or refusal of cystectomy will be documented on an electronic case report form (eCRF).
Subjects will receive 6 months of Disitamab Vedotin therapy and at least 1 year of BCG therapy. EFS(Event free survival) and CR(Complete response) rates will be evaluated after treatment by cystoscopy, pathologic histology, urine cytology, laboratory tests, and imaging. Cystoscopy and urine cytology every three months for two years, and radiography every six months. Cystoscopy and urine cytology were done every six months and radiography once a year after two years.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Disitamab vedotin and Bacillus Calmette Guerin Vaccine in people with Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer and HER-2 Protein Overexpression, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.
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 10 inclusion and 13 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 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 1 site in China. 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 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?
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?
Percentage of Participants With CR as Assessed by the Investigator according to Cystoscopy and Urine Cytology at Month 3 (time frame: up to 3 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?
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 20 Jul 2026.
