Phase 3, Open-Label, Multi-Center, Randomized Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of TAR-200 in Combination with Cetrelimab or TAR-200 Alone Versus Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in Participants with BCG-naïve High-Risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (HRNMIBC)
EU CTIS ID: 2023-507187-39-00
What this study is testing
To compare event-free survival (EFS) in participants with BCG-naïve HRNMIBC (high-grade papillary Ta, any T1, or CIS), receiving TAR-200 + IV cetrelimab (Group A) versus intravesical BCG (Group B) and TAR-200 alone (Group C) versus intravesical BCG (Group B).

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Age 1. Age ≥18 years (or the legal age of consent in the jurisdiction in which the study is taking place) at the time of informed consent.
- Disease Characteristic 2. Criterion modified per Global Amendment 1 2.1 Criterion modified per Global Amendment 2 2.2 Histologically confirmed initial diagnosis by local pathology (within 90 days of the most recent signed informed consent) of HR-NMIBC (high-grade Ta,any T1 or CIS), [AJCC 2017], in participants who are BCG-naïve. Mixed histology tumors are allowed if urothelial differentiation (transitional cell histology) is predominant. However, the presence of neuroendocrine, micropapillary, signet ring cell, plasmacytoid, or sarcomatoid features will make a participant ineligible. Participants may have had a history of HR-NMIBC (defined as high-gradeTa, any T1, or CIS) as long as it has been >3 years from current/novel diagnosis of HR-NMIBC (high-grade Ta, any T1 or CIS).
- 3. BCG-naïve (participants who have not received prior intravesical BCG or who previously received but stopped BCG more than 3 years before date of randomization are eligible) (Kamat 2016).
- 4. Participants must be willing to undergo all study procedures (eg, multiple cystoscopies from Screening through the end of study and TURBT/bladder biopsy for assessment of recurrence/progression).
- 5. Criterion modified per Global Amendment 2 5.1 All visible papillary disease must be fully resected (absent) prior to date of randomization and documented at baseline cystoscopy. Local urine cytology at screening must be negative or atypical (for HGUC) for patients with papillary only disease (without CIS).
- 6. All AEs associated with any prior surgery and/or intravesical therapy must have resolved to CTCAE version 5.0 Grade <2 prior to date of randomization.
You likely can't join if
- Disease Characteristics 1.Criterion modified per Global Amendment 1 1.1 Presence or history of histologically confirmed, muscle invasive, locally advanced, nonresectable, or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (ie, ≥T2).
- 2. Must not have had urothelial carcinoma or histological variant at any site outside of the urinary bladder (ie, urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis). Ta/any T1/CIS of the upper urinary tract (including renal pelvis and ureter) is allowable if treated with complete nephroureterectomy more than 24 months prior to randomization.
- 3. Criterion modified per Global Amendment 2 3.1 N+ and/or M+ per blinded independent central review (BICR) of computed tomography/magnetic resonance (CT/MR) Urography and chest CT. Any history of HR-NMIBC (high-grade Ta, any T1 or CIS) <3 years from current diagnosis.
- Medical Conditions 4.1 Active malignancies (ie, progressing or requiring treatment change in the last 24 months prior to randomization) other than the disease being treated under study. Potential allowed exceptions include the following (others may be allowed with Sponsor approval). a. skin cancer (non-melanoma or melanoma) that is considered completely cured. b. non-invasive cervical cancer treated that is considered completely cured. c. adequately treated lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) and ductal CIS d. history of localized breast cancer and receiving antihormonal agents e. history of localized prostate cancer (N0M0) and receiving androgen deprivation therapy f. Locerion modified per Global Amendment 2alized prostate cancer (N0M0): i. with a Gleason score of 6, treated within the last 24 months or untreated and under surveillance, ii. with a Gleason score of 3+4 that has been treated more than 6 months prior to full study Screening and considered to have a very low risk of recurrence, iii. or history of localized prostate cancer and receiving androgen deprivation therapy and considered to have a very low risk of recurrence.
- 5. Presence of any bladder or urethral anatomic feature (eg, urethral stricture) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may prevent the safe insertion, indwelling use, removal of TAR-200, or administration of intravesical BCG. Participants with tumors involving the prostatic urethra in men will be excluded.
- 6. A history of clinically significant polyuria with recorded 24-hour urine volumes greater than 4000 mL.
