Helping patients with urologic cancer
Developing life-changing therapies for unmet medical needs
Urology and Uro-Oncology
In a single year, the number of Americans newly diagnosed with bladder cancer is estimated to be about 83,000.1
More than half of the patients diagnosed with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who receive initial treatment with the intravesical immunotherapy Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) will experience disease recurrence and progression within one year, with many developing BCG-unresponsive disease.2
Most patients need additional treatment options after BCG, but few options are available for adult patients with high-risk NMIBC following BCG treatment who have persistent or recurrent disease.3,4,5
