New Patient-Reported Outcomes from UGN-102 Clinical Trials Show the Investigational Treatment Did Not Adversely Affect Functionality, Symptom Burden, and Quality of Life in Patients with LG-IR-NMIBC - Seite 2
In the Phase 2b OPTIMA II and Phase 3 ENVISION studies, patients received UGN-102, while in the Phase 3 ATLAS trial, patients were randomized to UGN-102 or trans-urethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT); this analysis includes only data from UGN-102-treated patients. Each study featured a six-week UGN-102 treatment period, a CR assessment at three months, and follow-up ranging from nine to 63 months after three-month CR. Patient-reported symptoms and health status were evaluated using the EORTC-QLQ-NMIBC24 at baseline, three months, and 12 months or study end. Scores, ranging from one (not at all) to four (very much), were transformed to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores indicating greater symptom burden. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize baseline scores and changes, with positive changes reflecting symptom worsening.
About UGN-102
UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution is an innovative drug formulation of mitomycin, currently in Phase 3 development for the treatment of recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC. Utilizing UroGen’s proprietary RTGel technology, a sustained release, hydrogel-based formulation, UGN-102 is designed to enable longer exposure of bladder tissue to mitomycin, thereby enabling the treatment of tumors by non-surgical means. UGN-102 is delivered to patients using a standard urinary catheter in an outpatient setting by a trained healthcare professional. UroGen completed the submission of the rolling new drug application (NDA) for UGN-102 in August 2024, ahead of schedule. The FDA accepted the NDA for UGN-102 and assigned a Prescription Drug User Free Act (PDUFA) goal date of June 13, 2025.
About Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC)
LG-IR-NMIBC affects around 82,000 people in the U.S. every year, and of those, an estimated 59,000 are recurrent. Bladder cancer primarily affects older populations with increased risk of comorbidities, with the median age of diagnosis being 73 years. Guideline recommendations for the management of NMIBC include TURBT as the standard of care. Up to 70 percent of NMIBC patients experience at least one recurrence and LG-IR-NMIBC patients are even more likely to recur and face repeated TURBT procedures.
