    About the Phase 2b OPTIMA II Trial

    OPTIMA II (OPTimized Instillation of Mitomycin for Bladder Cancer Treatment) is an open-label, single-arm, multi-center Phase 2b clinical trial of investigational agent UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution to evaluate its safety and efficacy in patients with LG-IR-NMIBC.

    Results showed:

    • 65 percent CR at three months
    • Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated duration of response to be 72.5 percent at 12 months from initiation of therapy (nine months from CR); median duration of response was not reached
    • Treatment with UGN-102 was generally well tolerated, with mostly mild to moderate adverse events reported

    Intermediate risk is defined as one or two of the following: multiple tumors, solitary tumor >3 cm, or recurrence (≥ 1 occurrence of LG-NMIBC within one year of the current diagnosis). Patients were to receive six weekly intravesical instillations of 75 mg UGN-102 in an office setting. The chemoablative effect of UGN-102 was assessed three months after initiation of study treatment with CR defined as a negative endoscopic examination, negative cytology, and when indicated, a negative for-cause biopsy. Patients achieving CR were followed quarterly to 12 months after initiation of study treatment to evaluate safety, efficacy, and durability.

    About LG-IR-NMIBC

    Approximately 800,000 people are living with bladder cancer in the U.S., of that 80,000 suffer from LG-IR-NMIBC. Patients with LG-IR-NMIBC face a future of recurrence and additional surgeries. Currently, the only primary treatment available is a surgical procedure known as transurethral resection of bladder tumor or TURBT, which requires anesthesia. Every time TURBT is performed it may impose more burden and serious risks on patients, including pain, bleeding, infection and injury (including perforation).
