Cretostimogene Monotherapy Demonstrated 75.2% Complete Response Rate in High-Risk, BCG-Unresponsive Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer - Seite 2

There were no Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) or deaths reported, and two patients (1.8%) had serious TRAEs (Grade 2). No treatment-related discontinuation of cretostimogene was observed. 94.5% of patients completed all expected treatments. TRAEs occurred in 70 patients (62.5%). The most common TRAEs (≥10%) were bladder spasm, pollakiuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, and hematuria, as of the safety cutoff date of January 31, 2024.

“The positive 12-month BOND-003 data presented at AUA 2024, with a notable duration of response, reinforces cretostimogene monotherapy as a potential backbone therapy in the NMIBC treatment landscape for BCG-unresponsive patients. This innovative immunotherapy candidate may, if approved, emerge as a favored option for patients over the surgical extraction of their bladder, as they face limited options,” said Gary D. Steinberg, M.D., Professor, Department of Urology at Rush University Medical Center. “Cretostimogene reported remarkable interim efficacy results, with over half of the patients experiencing complete responses upon repeat induction. There continues to be a need for new options for patients with bladder cancer.”

“We’re thrilled to present today’s updated data which reinforces cretostimogene’s potential as a bladder-sparing therapeutic that could materially improve both patient outcomes and quality of life,” said Ambaw Bellete, President & Chief Operating Officer, CG Oncology. “Importantly, with topline data expected from BOND-003 by the end of 2024, we look forward to a regulatory approval submission.”

Last December, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted both Fast Track Designation and Breakthrough Therapy Designation for cretostimogene in high-risk BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with carcinoma in-situ with or without Ta or T1 papillary tumors.

About Cretostimogene Grenadenorepvec

Cretostimogene is an investigational, intravesically delivered oncolytic immunotherapy being evaluated in BOND-003, a Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of patients with high-risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) who are unresponsive to Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) therapy. Cretostimogene was previously evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial (CORE-001) in combination with pembrolizumab in the same indication and is also being evaluated in a Phase 3 monotherapy clinical trial (PIVOT-006) in intermediate-risk NMIBC patients. In addition, cretostimogene is being evaluated in an investigator-sponsored clinical trial in combination with nivolumab for the treatment of muscle invasive bladder cancer.
