BACKGROUND: Patients (pts) with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR NMIBC) have high risk of disease progression and limited treatment options. TAR-200 is a targeted releasing system designed to provide sustained intravesical delivery of gemcitabine
in the bladder. SunRISe-1 (NCT04640623) is an ongoing phase 2b study assessing TAR-200 in pts with BCG-unresponsive HR NMIBC, ineligible for/refused radical cystectomy. Cohorts 1-3 enrolled pts with carcinoma in situ (CIS) ± papillary disease. We report 1-y duration of response (DOR) and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in pts receiving TAR-200 monotherapy (Cohort 2).
METHODS: Pts (≥18 y; ECOG PS 0-2) had CIS ± papillary disease (high-grade Ta, any T1), after adequate BCG (last dose ≤12 months before CIS diagnosis). TAR-200 was dosed Q3W to W24 then Q12W to W96. No re-induction for nonresponders was allowed. Primary endpoint was overall complete response (CR) rate. Secondary endpoints included DOR, overall survival, PROs, safety, and tolerability. Response assessments included cystoscopy, centrally-assessed urine cytology, centrally‑assessed biopsy, and local imaging. Change from baseline in Global Health Status (GHS) and Physical Functioning (PF) scores was assessed.
RESULTS: At Sep 4, 2024 data cutoff, 85 pts received TAR-200 monotherapy. Centrally-confirmed and investigator-assessed CR rates were both 84% (95% CI, 74-91). Estimated median DOR and 1-y DOR rate were 26 mo (95% CI, 9-NE) and 55% (95% CI, 40-68), respectively. Mean GHS and PF scores were stable on treatment. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 84% of patients; most were low-grade lower urinary tract AEs. 6% of patients had serious TRAEs and 4% had TRAEs leading to treatment discontinuation. No treatment-related deaths occurred.
CONCLUSIONS: In SunRISe-1, TAR-200 monotherapy is associated with a high CR rate in patients with BCG-unresponsive HR NMIBC CIS, with a favorable risk-benefit profile. Data will be updated after final results in April.
