Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Complete Response Rate at 3 Months
3 months from start of treatment

Complete response rate at 3 months in patients with CIS with or without resected papillary disease following initiation of Vicinium therapy. This is the percentage of patients who were free of high-grade disease at the post-induction (3 month) assessment timepoint. A patient was considered to have a complete response if the urine cytology was reported as negative or atypical AND the cystoscopy was reported as normal or any suspicious areas were deemed negative for high-grade disease upon biopsy assessment.

Duration of Complete Response
Up to 24 months

Duration of complete response in participants with CIS with or without resected papillary disease who achieved a complete response at the post-induction (3 month) assessment. This is the number of days from the date of first occurrence of complete response to the date of documented treatment failure or death, whichever occurs first

Treatment Schedule A: 12-Week Efficacy, Treatment Schedule B: 13-Week Efficacy
12 or 13 weeks

Complete response rate in subjects with carcinoma in situ (CIS) non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) following the induction phase (3-month evaluation point) of Vicinium treatment

Secondary Endpoints

Event-free Survival
Up to 24 months
Complete Response Rate at 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 Months
Participants on treatment were assessed at months 6, 9, 12, 15,18, 21, and 24

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
ViciniumEXPERIMENTALInduction - 30 mg of Vicinium in 50 mL of saline administered twice weekly (BIW) for 6 weeks followed by once weekly for 6 weeks, for a total of 12 weeks. Maintenance - 30 mg of Vicinium in 50 mL of saline administered once weekly every other week for up to 104 weeks.
Treatment Schedule A -ACTIVE_COMPARATORInduction Phase is a single intravesical dose of Vicinium at 30 mg in 40 mL PBS once per week for 6 weeks. If free of disease at 12 weeks after the first instillation, the subject enters Maintenance dosing in which 30 mg of Vicinium is administered once per week for 3 weeks followed by 9 weeks of no therapy. If the subject had histologically confirmed disease that is stage \<T2, they repeat the Induction phase dosing. If the subject is free of disease, the subject enters the maintenance dosing phase of every 12 weeks (3 weeks of therapy followed by 9 weeks of no therapy until disease recurrence is confirmed by positive biopsy or up to a maximum of Week 51 (end-of-study \[EOS\]).
Treatment Schedule BACTIVE_COMPARATORInduction Phase is a single intravesical dose of Vicinium at 30 mg in 40 mL PBS once per week for 12 weeks followed by 1 week of no therapy. If 13 weeks after the first instillation of Vicinium the subject is free of disease, they have a break from therapy before entering Maintenance dosing in which 30 mg of Vicinium is administered once weekly for 3 weeks followed by 9 weeks of no therapy. If the subject is free of disease, additional maintenance cycle(s) are repeated every 12 weeks (3 weeks of therapy followed by 9 weeks of no therapy until disease recurrence is confirmed by positive biopsy or up to a maximum of Week 57 (EOS).
