Interventions

NameTypeDescription
BC-819/PEIBIOLOGICALPapillary 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.

What clinical trials is BC-819 in?

BC-819 has been studied in three completed clinical trials: NCT00595088, a Phase 2b trial in superficial bladder cancer with 47 participants; NCT00826150, a Phase 1/2a trial in ovarian cancer with 14 participants; and NCT01878188, a Phase 1 pilot study in transitional cell bladder carcinoma with 38 participants.

Is BC-819 the same as DTA-H19?

Yes, BC-819 is also known as DTA-H19. Clinical trial records refer to the drug as DTA-H19 in studies for superficial bladder cancer and ovarian cancer, while the name BC-819 is used in a pilot study for transitional cell bladder carcinoma. Both names refer to the same investigational therapy.
