A Study to Assess Real-World Use and Outcomes of TAR-200 for Participants With Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) in the United States (Nova-sTAR)

August 27, 2026 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

A Multicenter, Prospective, Longitudinal Study to Assess Real-World Use and Outcomes After the Launch of TAR-200 for NMIBC in the US

The purpose of this study is to assess how well TAR-200 works in real-word by measuring the time taken from the first TAR-200 insertion to worsening of cancer or until the signs and symptoms of cancer occur again (disease-free survival) in participants with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC; an early-stage bladder cancer that is limited to the inner lining of bladder).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
NMIBC Participants: Routine Clinical Practice Setting
Participants with confirmed diagnosis of NMIBC and who have initiated first dose of TAR-200 in a real-world clinical setting, within 6 weeks prior to baseline visit/Study visit 1 will be observed for 24 months from the initiation of the first dose of TAR-200, or until the participant dies, is lost to follow-up, or withdraws consent in the study. No intervention will be administered as a part of this study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease-Free Survival (DFS)
Time Frame: Up to 24 months
DFS is defined as the time from first TAR-200 initiation date to the time of the first recurrence of NMIBC (Ta, any T1 or carcinoma in-situ [CIS)], progression (to muscle invasive bladder cancer [MIBC; T greater than or equal to {>=} 2] or to lymph node [N+] or to distant disease [M+], whichever occurs first), or death due NMIBC, whichever occurs first.
Up to 24 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. Severity of AEs will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0. by using standard grades as follows: Grade 1: Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; Grade 2: Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; Grade 3: Severe but not immediately life threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; and Grade 5: Death related to AE.
