Efficacy

ADSTILADRIN Delivers on its Innovation With Proven and Durable CRs

Study design

The safety and efficacy of ADSTILADRIN (nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg) were evaluated in CS-003, an open-label, multicenter, single-arm study of 103 patients with high-risk Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC),
98 of whom had BCG-unresponsive carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary tumors and could be evaluated for response. The primary endpoint was complete response (CR) in CIS ± high-grade Ta/T1 at any time after the first
instillation.1

At 5 years, 11% of patients with a CR at month 3 remained high-grade recurrence free.3*

Study limitation: Patients were not reinduced if a CR did not occur after the first dose. Patients may have also been lost to follow-up or switched therapy after 1 year and were considered a treatment failure due to the protocol in CS-003.1,3

Low incidence of cystectomy at

5 years

  • Of the patients who achieved a CR,
    13 out of 55 underwent a

    cystectomy within the 5-year

    follow-up5
  • Median follow-up time was 48.9 months5‡

Low progression to muscle-invasive
bladder cancer at 5 years

  • Of the patients who received at
    least 1 dose of ADSTILADRIN,
    4
    out
    of 103 patients experienced clinical progression
    § to
    MIBC3,4
  • Delaying cystectomy can lead to the development of metastatic bladder cancer, which can be lethal4
  • This exploratory analysis is not in the Prescribing Information. It is being provided for descriptive purposes; results require cautious interpretation, as radical cystectomy may have occurred after patient discontinuation

When BCG Fails, Make ADSTILADRIN

Your First Choice for Bladder Preservation

*Based on patients (n=50) who achieved a CR; reflects period from the time CR was achieved.1

N equals 25 at 1 year, 20 at 2 years, 14 at 3 years, and 6 at 5 years.3

Following the initial 12-month treatment period, patients entered a 4-year follow-up monitoring period,
irrespective of whether ADSTILADRIN treatment was continued. Patients who had
high-grade recurrence were withdrawn from treatment and had follow-up data for cystectomy status collected annually for up to 5 years.3

§Clinical progression to MIBC was assessed by biopsy, and does not include the assessment from those patients

after undergoing radical cystectomy.6

BCG, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin; CIS, carcinoma in situ; CR, complete response; MIBC, muscle-invasive bladder cancer; T1, tumor invades lamina propria; Ta, noninvasive papillary carcinoma.

Important Safety Information

INDICATION

ADSTILADRIN is a non-replicating adenoviral vector-based gene therapy indicated for the treatment of adult patients with high-risk Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary tumors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS: ADSTILADRIN is contraindicated in patients with prior hypersensitivity reactions to interferon alfa or to any component of the product.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:

  • Risk with delayed cystectomy: Delaying cystectomy in patients with BCG-unresponsive CIS could lead to development of muscle invasive or metastatic bladder cancer, which can be lethal. If patients with CIS do not have a complete response to treatment after 3 months or if CIS recurs, consider cystectomy.
  • Risk of disseminated adenovirus infection: Persons who are immunocompromised or immunodeficient may be at risk for disseminated infection from ADSTILADRIN due to low levels of replication-competent adenovirus. Avoid ADSTILADRIN exposure to immunocompromised or immunodeficient individuals.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Administer ADSTILADRIN by intravesical instillation only. ADSTILADRIN is not for intravenous use, topical use, or oral administration.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during ADSTILADRIN treatment and for 6 months after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during ADSTILADRIN treatment and for 3 months after the last dose.

ADVERSE REACTIONS: The most common (>10%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities (>15%), were glucose increased, instillation site discharge, triglycerides increased, fatigue, bladder spasm, micturition (urination urgency), creatinine increased, hematuria (blood in urine), phosphate decreased, chills, pyrexia (fever), and dysuria (painful urination).
