A Study of NDV-01 as an Intravesical Administration to Patients With BCG-Unresponsive Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC), Refractory to First-line Therapy (RESCUE)

March 15, 2026 updated by: Relmada Therapeutics, Inc.

A Phase 3 Study of NDV-01 as an Intravesical Administration to Patients With BCG-Unresponsive Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC), Refractory to First-line Therapy

This is a Phase 3, open-label single-arm trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NDV-01 (sustained-release gemcitabine-docetaxel) in adult participants with NMIBC with CIS who have failed BCG therapy and who have failed first-line therapy for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC (approved or in development) and are recommended for radical cystectomy.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 3, open-label single-arm trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NDV-01 (sustained-release gemcitabine-docetaxel) in adult participants with NMIBC with CIS who have failed BCG therapy and who have failed first-line therapy for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC (approved or in development) and are recommended for radical cystectomy.

Participants will receive an induction course and then monthly maintenance courses of NDV-1 (sustained-release gemcitabine-docetaxel) through 3 years, if there is no disease recurrence.

Participants will received an induction course of NDV-01 (6-bi-weekly intravesical instillations). Those who achieve a complete response (CR) at 3 months will be eligible for monthly maintenance instillations through year 3.

Disease status will be assessed using urine cytology, cystoscopy, and directed TURBT/biopsy (if indicated) every 3 months for the first 2 years after randomization or until disease recurrence.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS of the bladder, with or without coexisting papillary Ta/T1 tumor(s) who are ineligible for or have elected not to undergo cystectomy at the time of enrollment and have experienced 1) CIS disease within 12 months of treatment.
  • Participants with BCG-unresponsive disease must have received up to two first-line therapies or BCG-unresponsive disease and who are recommended for radical cystectomy. Such therapies may include agents approved or in development (e.g., pembrolizumab, nadofaragene firodenovec, nogapendekin alfa inbakicept-pmln, cretostimogene grenadenorepvec, detalimogene voraplasmid, TARA-002, gemcitabine intravesical system (INLEXZO®), gemcitabine, MMC, or valrubicin monotherapy. Participants will have demonstrated recurrence or intolerance after one or two first-line therapy(ies).
  • All specimens must be predominantly urothelial (transitional cell) carcinoma with or without squamous or glandular differentiation. Pure squamous or glandular tumors will not be included. Participants with less than 10% micropapillary histology will be included. All other variant histology (e.g. plasmacytoid, small cell, nested, trophoblastic variants) will not be included.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Has had urothelial carcinoma outside of the urinary bladder (i.e., urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis) or has a predominant histological variant of UC. Ta/any T1, CIS of the upper urinary tract is allowable if treated with complete nephroureterectomy more than 24 months prior to initiating study: Participant has tumor(s) involving the prostatic urethra (ductal or stromal); N+ and/or M+ per computerized tomography (CT)/Magnetic Resonance Imagery (MR) urography. History of prior T2/T3 urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To evaluate the efficacy of NDV-01 (determined by complete response [CR] anytime) administered by intravesical instillation in patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC who have recurred after first-line intravesical therapy (approved or in development).
Time Frame: 12 months
Percentage of participants with CR at anytime based on cystoscopy, urine cytology, and biopsies. Protocol-driven mapping biopsies (as assessed by central pathology) will be performed at 12 months

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
