The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug Alpha1H works to treat low-to-intermediate risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in adults. It will also learn about the safety of drug Alpha1H.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will:
294 studies on the registry are indexed under Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Neoplasms; 126 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 194 is above the median of 62 across 231 interventional studies indexed under Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Neoplasms.
Browse Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Neoplasms studies →Hamlet Pharma AB is the lead sponsor of 2 studies on the registry; 1 is open to participants now.
Compared within Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Neoplasms, this study's primary condition as ClinicalTrials.gg classifies it; the registry's first condition term is Urinary Bladder Neoplasms. The counts are of registry records indexed under each term, refreshed daily. How we classify →

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Participants receive 6 intravesical instillations of Alpha1H over approximately 1 month prior to transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).
Drug: Alpha1H · Procedure: Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) · Drug: Intravesical Chemotherapy
Participants receive standard of care consisting of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) followed by a single early intravesical instillation of standard chemotherapy.
Procedure: Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) · Drug: Intravesical Chemotherapy
Administered via intravesical instillation directly into the urinary bladder. Participants in the experimental group receive a total of 6 instillations on Days 1, 3, 5, 8, 15, and 22 over approximately 1 month prior to TURBT. During each treatment, participants are asked to retain the solution in the bladder for up to 2 hours.
Standard endoscopic surgical procedure performed through the urethra to resect and remove papillary bladder tumor tissue. Performed approximately 30 days after study entry (on Visit 8). Resected tumor tissue is collected for histopathology and central analysis.
A single early intravesical instillation of standard-of-care chemotherapy (epirubicin, mitomycin, or gemcitabine) administered into the urinary bladder shortly following TURBT surgery in accordance with local institutional guidelines.
Event-Free Survival (EFS)
Time frame: From randomization until the occurrence of an EFS event or study completion, assessed at 3, 6, 9 (optional), and 12 months post-randomization, and every 6 months thereafter for up to 3 years.
Complete Response (CR) Rate
Time frame: Day 30 (±5 days), prior to TURBT
Overall Survival (OS)
Time frame: From randomization through study completion (assessed at 3, 6, 9 [optional], and 12 months, and every 6 months thereafter for up to 3 years).
Tumor Response (Morphological and Cellular)
Assessed as: (1) change in papillary tumor size (% reduction from baseline); (2) tumor cell shedding in urine (cells/mL); (3) apoptosis in shed cells (% TUNEL-positive cells); (4) Alpha1H uptake in shed cells (% Alpha1H-positive cells). Each parameter reported separately.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 30 (±5 days)
Tumor Gene Expression
Assessed by RNA sequencing (whole transcriptome) in tumor tissue and urine RNA. Reported as number of differentially expressed cancer-related genes and pathways between the Alpha1H and SOC arms.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 30 (±5 days)
Urinary Biomarkers and Immune Response
Assessed by proteomic profiling of urine samples. Reported as change in concentration (pg/mL) of cytokines, chemokines, and interferons between pre- and post-instillation samples, compared between the Alpha1H and SOC arms.
Time frame: Day 1, 3, 5, 8, 15, and 22 (pre- and post-instillation), and Day 30 (±5 days)
Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs)
Time frame: From Visit 1 (Screening) through Visit 9 (Day 40/50) and follow-up period (up to 3 years)
Change in Quality of Life (QoL) as Assessed by the QLQ-NMIBC24 Questionnaire
Quality of life will be assessed using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ-NMIBC24), a 24-item, disease-specific patient-reported outcome instrument. Each domain score is linearly transformed to range from 0 to 100. On functional scales (e.g., sexual function), higher scores indicate better functioning; on symptom-related scales (e.g., urinary symptoms, future perspective), higher scores indicate greater symptom burden. Scores are calculated per the EORTC scoring manual.
Time frame: From Visit 1 (Screening) through follow-up visits (up to 3 years)
