About This Trial

This is a phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter study of intravesical Recombinant Mycobacterium Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in participants with Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who have not received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin and have histologically confirmed presence of Carcinoma in situ (CIS) or have primary or recurrent stage Ta and/or T1 papillary tumors following Transurethral resection.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For NMIBC, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

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.

With a target enrollment of 40 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: Participants must meet ALL of the following criteria for inclusion in the study: 1. Male or female participants 18 years of age or older. 2. Histologic confirmation of BCG naïve non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (mixed histology tumors allowed if urothelial histology is predominant histology) AND either i) diagnosed by tissue sample (biopsy-confirmed) presence of NMIBC CIS (with or without Ta/T1 papillary disease) OR ii) primary or recurrent stage Ta and/or T1 papillary tumors following transurethral resection (TUR). 3. Absence of resectable disease after TURBT procedures (residual CIS acceptable; participants with T1 tumors must undergo repeat resection and biopsy \[inclusive of muscularis propria\] of the T1 tumor site if initial biopsy did not include muscularis propria). 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2. 5. Voluntary written willing to sign a consent form and agreement to comply with all protocol specified procedures and follow-up evaluations. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: Participants with ANY of the following criteria are excluded from participation in the study: 1. Life expectancy \<2 years 2. Any of the following clinical laboratory values at the time of enrollment: 1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \<800/μL 2. Platelets \< 50,000/μL 3. Liver function abnormalities as indicated by ongoing hepatic enzyme elevation (aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\] or alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\]) \> 2 X upper limit of normal (ULN) 4. Renal insufficiency as indicated by a creatinine level \>3 X ULN ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2. 5. Voluntary written informed consent and agreement to comply with all protocol specified procedures and follow-up evaluations. Exclusion Criteria: Participants with ANY of the following criteria are excluded from participation in the study: 1. Life expectancy \<2 years 2. Any of the following clinical laboratory values at the time of enrollment: 1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \<800/μL 2. Platelets \< 50,000/μL 3. Liver function abnormalities as indicated by ongoing hepatic enzyme elevation (aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\] or alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\]) \> 2 X upper limit of normal (ULN) 4. Renal insufficiency as indicated by a creatinine level \>3 X ULN 3. History of or evidence of muscle-invasive, locally advanced, metastatic and/or extravesical bladder cancer (inclusive of the prostatic urethra); or any other cancer within the past 5 years that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions are adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer; and adequately treated stage I or II cancer or stable prostate cancer from which the participant is currently in complete remission, and is under active surveillance or hormone control. 4. Symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF), New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure or other clinical signs of severe cardiac dysfunction. 5. Severe/unstable angina pectoris, or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to study entry. 6. History or evidence of uncontrollable central nervous system disease. 7. Active systemic infection requiring parenteral antibiotic therapy. All prior infections must have resolved following optimal therapy. 8. Concurrent febrile illness, active urinary tract infection, active tuberculosis, a history of hypotension or anaphylactic reactions. 9. Ongoing chronic systemic steroid therapy required (\>10 mg oral prednisone daily or equivalent). 10. Women who are pregnant or nursing. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and must adhere to using a medically acceptable method of birth control prior to screening and agree to continue its use during the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug, or be surgically sterilized (eg, hysterectomy or tubal ligation). Women of childbearing potential are defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who is NOT permanently sterile or postmenopausal. Postmenopausal is defined as 12 consecutive months with no menses without an alternative medical cause. Males must agree to use barrier methods of birth control while on study and for 90 days post last dose of study drug. 11. Participants currently receiving investigational or commercial anticancer agents or anticancer therapies other than rMBCG and supportive care therapies for active disease. 12. Concurrent use of other investigational agents (not including FDA authorized drugs for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19). 13. Other illness or condition, including laboratory abnormalities, which in the opinion of the Investigator would exclude the participant from participating in this study. This includes, but is not limited to, serious medical conditions or psychiatric illness likely to interfere with participation in the study.

This is a phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter study of intravesical Recombinant Mycobacterium Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in participants with Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who have not received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin and have histologically confirmed presence of Carcinoma in situ (CIS) or have primary or recurrent stage Ta and/or T1 papillary tumors following Transurethral resection. The full protocol is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and includes the primary outcome measures, eligibility criteria, and study endpoints.

Who can participate in NCT06800963?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT06800963?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

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.
