Study summary

This Phase 3, single-arm, multicenter study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of UGN-103, a novel formulation of UGN-102, instilled in the urinary bladder of patients with recurrent low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC).

Read the detailed description

Eligible patients were treated with UGN-103 once weekly for 6 weeks (a total of 6 doses).

Efficacy was assessed by the complete response rate (CRR) at the 3-month Visit (approximately 3 months after the first instillation). Response was determined based on visual observation (white light cystoscopy), histopathology of any remaining or new lesions by central pathology lab (if applicable), and interpretation of urine cytology by central pathology lab.

Patients who had a complete response (CR) at the 3-month Visit, defined as having no detectable disease (NDD) in the bladder, entered the Follow-up Period of the study. During the Follow-up Period, patients return to the clinic every 3 months for evaluation of response. Patients remain on study until disease recurrence, disease progression, death, or the last patient completes 12 months of follow-up (ie,12 months after the 3-month Visit), whichever occurs first.

Patients who had a non-complete response (NCR) at the 3-month Visit underwent investigator-designated standard of care (SOC) and had a separate End of Study (EOS) Visit performed.

Study conduct is ongoing and data are summarized through a cutoff date of 18 Mar 2026. As of the data cutoff date, ongoing patients were followed through at least Study Month 9, with the earliest enrolled patients followed through Study Month 15.

  12. History of prior treatment with an intravesical chemotherapeutic agent in the past 2 years except for a single dose of chemotherapy immediately after any previous transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT).
  13. Has participated in a study with an investigational agent or device within 30 days of enrollment.
  14. Has previously participated in a study in which they received UGN-102.
  15. Has any other active malignancy requiring treatment with systemic anticancer therapy (eg, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy). Superficial cancers such as cutaneous basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas that can be treated locally are allowed.
  16. Has any other clinically significant medical or surgical condition that in the investigator's opinion could compromise patient safety or the interpretation of study results.
  17. Where applicable per country regulation, the patient must not be currently committed to an institution by virtue of an order issued by either judicial or administrative authorities.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    UGN-103

    Patients received UGN-103 (75 mg mitomycin) once weekly for 6 weeks (a total of 6 doses).

    Drug: UGN-103

Interventions

  • DrugUGN-103

    UGN-103 consists of mitomycin and sterile hydrogel (a proprietary thermally responsive gel) that is used to reconstitute mitomycin before instillation. The reverse thermal properties of UGN-103 allow for local administration of mitomycin as a liquid under chilled conditions, with subsequent conversion to a semi-solid gel depot following instillation into the bladder.

    Also known as: UGN-103 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution
