RECRUITINGPhase 2INTERVENTIONAL

RC48-ADC in Combination With Gemcitabine in High Risk NMIBC Subjects

An Open-label, Single Arm, Single Center Phase 2 Study of RC48-ADC (IV) in Combination With Gemcitabine(Intravesical) in High Risk NMIBC Subjects (BCG Naïve or BCG Unresponsive) That Expresses HER2 (IHC 1+ and Greater)

RC48-ADC in Combination With Gemcitabine in High Risk NMIBC Subjects (NCT05943379) is a Phase 2 interventional studying NMIBC, sponsored by RemeGen Co., Ltd.. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

In this study, participants with high risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are BCG Naïve or BCG Unresponsive and are considered ineligible for or have refused to undergo radical cystectomy, will receive RC48-ADC in combination with gemcitabine.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against NMIBC and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 85 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused NMIBC subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
