Frequently asked questions about Apaziquone

What is Apaziquone used for?

Apaziquone is an investigational small molecule being developed for bladder cancer and bladder neoplasms. It is studied as a single dose intravesical treatment given after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in patients with noninvasive bladder cancer. It is not approved and remains in clinical development.

Who is developing Apaziquone?

Apaziquone is being developed by Assertio Holdings, Inc., which trades under the ticker ASRT. The company is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the drug in bladder cancer.

What phase is Apaziquone in?

Apaziquone is in Phase 3 development. Two completed Phase 3 trials, NCT00598806 and NCT00461591, enrolled 812 and 802 patients respectively. A completed Phase 2 trial, NCT00141531, enrolled 53 patients. The drug is investigational and has not been approved.

What clinical trials is Apaziquone in?

Apaziquone has been studied in three completed trials. The Phase 3 trials NCT00598806 (SPI-612) and NCT00461591 (SPI-611) evaluated single dose intravesical apaziquone after TURBT in noninvasive bladder cancer. The Phase 2 trial NCT00141531 evaluated EOquin in high-risk superficial bladder cancer.

Is Apaziquone the same as EOquin?

Yes, EOquin is an alternative name for apaziquone. The Phase 2 trial NCT00141531 was titled as a study of EOquin in high-risk superficial bladder cancer, referring to the same investigational agent.
