Scientific Title

A Phase 3, Multinational, Randomized, Open-Label, Three Parallel-Arm Study of PF-06801591, an Anti-PD-1 Antibody, in Combination With Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG Induction With or Without BCG Maintenance) Versus BCG (Induction and Maintenance) in Participants With High-Risk, BCG-Naïve Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

Eligibility

Inclusion

  • Histological confirmed diagnosis of high risk non-muscle invasive transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urothelium of the urinary bladder (tumors of mixed transitional/non-transitional cell histology are allowed, but TCC must be the predominant histology)
  • Complete resection of all Ta/T1 papillary disease (including participants with concurrent CIS), with most recent positive TURBT occurring within 12 weeks prior to randomization or study intervention. A second TURBT must have been performed if indicated according to the current locally applicable guidelines, ie, American Urological Association, European Association of Urology
  • (Cohorts B1 and B2 only): Histological confirmed diagnosis of BCG-unresponsive high-risk, non-muscle invasive TCC of the urothelium within 12 months (CIS only) or 6 months (recurrent Ta/T1 disease) of completion of adequate BCG therapy.
  • Have refused or are ineligible for radical cystectomy

Exclusion

  • Evidence of muscle-invasive, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer or concurrent extravesical, non-muscle invasive TCC of the urothelium
  • (Cohort A only): Intravesical BCG therapy within 2 years prior to randomization. Prior intravesical chemotherapy for NMIBC is allowed.

(Cohorts B1 and B2 only): Any systemic or intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy from the time of most recent positive TURBT to initiation of study intervention.

  • Prior immunotherapy with anti PD-1, anti PD-L1, anti PD-L2, or anti cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) antibody
  • Prior treatment with immunostimulatory agents including interleukin (IL)-2, IL-15, interferon (INF)
  • Prior radiation therapy to the bladder
  • (Cohorts B1 and B2 only): Prior participation in Cohort A of this study.

Exclusion

  • You have certain types of non-cancer medical conditions.
  • You have had certain treatments, surgical procedures or drugs.
