Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Safety and Tolerability of immediate post-operative instillation of Chemophase.
Day 1 instillation, and weeks 1, 2, and 12
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Chemophase in Combination With MMC
5 weeks (Week 2 to Week 6)

The MTD was defined as the maximum dose level at which no more than two of six participants experienced dose-limiting toxicities (DLT). DLT was defined as any of the following: * Plasma MMC concentration greater than or equal to (\>=) 100 nanograms (ng)/milliliter (mL) * Adverse event (AE) with a Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) grade greater than or equal to 3 * New, treatment-emergent diagnosis of bladder fibrosis.

Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
5 weeks (Week 2 to Week 6)

DLT was defined as any of the following: * Plasma MMC concentration \>= 100 ng/mL * AE with a CTC grade greater than or equal to 3 * New, treatment-emergent diagnosis of bladder fibrosis.

Recommended Dose of Chemophase With MMC For Future Studies
5 weeks (Week 2 to Week 6)

Secondary Endpoints

Frequently asked questions about Chemophase

What is Chemophase used for?

Chemophase is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of bladder cancer, including superficial bladder cancer. It is administered intravesically, meaning directly into the bladder, and has been evaluated in clinical trials in combination with other agents for this condition.

Who makes Chemophase?

Chemophase is being developed by Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol HALO. The company has conducted clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Chemophase in patients with bladder cancer.

What phase is Chemophase in?

Chemophase is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed two Phase 1 trials in patients with bladder cancer and superficial bladder cancer. As an investigational drug, it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities and remains in early-stage clinical testing.

What clinical trials is Chemophase in?

Chemophase has been studied in two completed Phase 1 clinical trials. The first, NCT00318643, evaluated Chemophase in combination with mitomycin in 27 participants with superficial bladder cancer. The second, NCT00782587, studied immediate post-operative intravesical instillation of Chemophase in 14 patients with superficial bladder cancer.

How is Chemophase administered?

Chemophase is administered intravesically, which means it is instilled directly into the bladder through a catheter. This route of administration is commonly used for treating bladder cancer, as it delivers the drug locally to the tumor site while potentially reducing systemic side effects.
