If 2 patients in any cohort experience DLTs, then the next lower dose will be considered the MTD if there is a lower dose cohort. A DLT is defined as grade 3 or greater toxicity judged to be at least possibly related to the investigational products.
A dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as any grade 3 or greater non-hematologic AE by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE). If one subject in a cohort experienced a DLT, then three additional subjects had to be enrolled to that cohort unless a second subject in that cohort experiences a DLT. The next lower dose was to be considered the MTD.

| 20 mg of BC-819/PEI | EXPERIMENTAL | Six intravesical instillations of 20 mg of plasmid DNA (BC-819) complexed with PEI into the bladder of patients with intermediate-risk superficial bladder cancer \[recurrent stages Ta (low or high grade) and T1 (low grade) TCC\] who have failed prior intravesical therapies including BCG and/or chemotherapy. |
| BC-819/PEI and BCG alternating | EXPERIMENTAL | 4 or 6 weekly treatments of BC-819/PEI alternating with 6 treatments of BCG |
| BC-819/PEI and BCG Vaccine sequential | EXPERIMENTAL | 4 weekly treatments of BC-819/PEI followed by 6 weekly treatments of BCG |
| twice-weekly treatments of BC-819 and BCG | EXPERIMENTAL | 6 twice-weekly treatments of BC-819/PEI and BCG |

| BC-819/PEI | BIOLOGICAL | Papillary tumors will be resected with the exception of one marker tumor that will remain to examine the effects of the treatment on the remaining tumor. Study treatments will consist of an induction course of six weekly instillations of 20 mg of DTA-H19/PEI into the urinary bladder. Intravesical therapy will be delivered through a Foley catheter. Patients will be instructed to hold the dose in the bladder for two hours after administration. If the patient has a complete response, then she/he will be eligible to receive three additional courses of 3 weekly intravesical administrations of the same dose of investigational product every 12 weeks. |
| BCG Vaccine | DRUG | intravesical instillations |
| DTA-H19 | BIOLOGICAL | Cohort #1: 4 mg DTA-H19 intratumorally 2 times per week for 2 weeks Cohort #2: 8 mg DTA-H19 intratumorally 2 times per week for 2 weeks |
| BC-819 | BIOLOGICAL | Cohort #1: 60 mg IP weekly for 3 weeks, one week rest, then repeat for 2 more courses / 60 mg IP weekly for 3 weeks, four week rest, then repeat for 1 more course. Cohort #2: 120 mg IP weekly for 3 weeks, four week rest, then repeat for 1 more course. Cohort #3: 240 mg IP weekly for 3 weeks, four week rest, then repeat for 1 more course. |
Inclusion Criteria: To be eligible to participate in this study, patients must: 1. Provide written informed consent. 2. Have intermediate-risk recurrent superficial TCC of the bladder defined as Stage Ta (low or high grade) or T1 (but with penetration into no more than ½ of the lamina propria), lo...
BC-819 is an investigational therapy being studied in oncology for ovarian cancer, superficial bladder cancer, and transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. It has been evaluated in clinical trials in Israel and the United States. It is not approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.
BC-819 is being developed by Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd., which trades under the ticker CMMB. The company has sponsored clinical studies of the agent in bladder and ovarian cancer. Development remains at the clinical stage.
BC-819 is in Phase 1 development. A Phase 1 pilot study and a Phase 1/2a study have been completed, along with a Phase 2b trial in superficial bladder cancer. No active trials are currently listed, and the drug is not approved.
BC-819 has been studied in three completed trials: NCT01878188, a Phase 1 pilot in superficial transitional cell bladder carcinoma; NCT00826150, a Phase 1/2a study in advanced ovarian cancer; and NCT00595088, a Phase 2b trial in intermediate-risk superficial bladder cancer. All are completed.
