A Study of Intravesical FL115 Alone or in Combination With BCG in Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

A Phase I/II, Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Anti-Tumor Activity of Intravesical FL115 Alone or in Combination With BCG in Subjects With Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer, Including Dose Escalation and Cohort Expansion


Sponsor

Enrollment

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravesical FL115 alone or in combination with BCG in the patients with NMIBC, and to determine the RP2D of FL115 in combination with BCG. To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of FL115 alone or in combination with BCG in the treatment of NMIBC. The study consists of three parts: FL115 monotherapy dose escalation (Phase Ia), FL115 combined with BCG dose escalation (Phase Ib), and FL115 combined with BCG cohort expansion (Phase II). Each subject will receive FL115 alone or in combination with intravesical BCG, administered over three treatment periods: induction, enhanced induction/maintenance 1, and maintenance 2.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria9

  • Male or female subjects aged 18 years or older.
  • Histologic confirmation of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer of the transitional cell carcinoma high-grade subtype (mixed histology tumors allowed if transitional cell histology is predominant histology).
  • Histologically confirmed presence of BCG-unresponsive CIS (with or without Ta or T1 disease) or histologically confirmed presence of BCG-unresponsive high-grade Ta or T1 disease.
  • Absence of resectable disease after transurethral resection (TURBT) procedures (residual carcinoma in situ (CIS) acceptable; patients with T1 tumors must undergo repeat resection and biopsy \[inclusive of muscularis propria\] if initial biopsy did not include muscularis propria). Patients with high-grade Ta and/or T1 disease should have complete resection before study treatment.
  • Subjects refuse or are judged by the investigator not suitable for radical cystectomy.
  • ECOG score 0-2.
  • Expected survival ≥ 2 years (judged by the investigator).
  • Adequate organ function.
  • Voluntary written informed consent and agree to comply with all protocol-specified procedures and follow-up evaluations.

Exclusion Criteria33

  • Prior Anti-Cancer Treatment History:
  • Have previously received IL-2 or IL-15 agonist therapy, including but not limited to rhIL-15 (NCI), ALT-803 (FL-115), and NKTR-214 (Nektar).
  • Have previously undergone any of the following NMIBC-related treatments:
  • Received extensive pelvic radiotherapy (involving \>30% of bone marrow) within 2 years prior to the first dose.
  • Received systemic therapy aimed at treating NMIBC (e.g., radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunosuppressive therapy) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose.
  • Received intravesical instillation aimed at treating NMIBC within 4 weeks prior to the first dose, including intravesical local treatment delivered transurethrally.
  • Underwent TURBT or other surgical procedures targeting bladder lesions within 2 weeks prior to the first dose.
  • \. Prior therapies and recovery from related toxicities:
  • a) Known or suspected allergy to FL115, its excipients, interleukin-based therapies, or fusion proteins (Grade 3-4), or to BCG/excipients (for Phase Ib/II).
  • b) Systemic immunosuppressive therapy within 4 weeks before first dose, except: ≤10 mg/day prednisone equivalent, local/inhaled/intranasal steroids, adrenal replacement ≤7.5 mg/day prednisone, or single-dose prophylaxis for contrast allergy.
  • c) Prior allogeneic organ or PBSC/bone marrow transplantation. d) Live virus vaccination within 4 weeks prior to first dose. e) Prior ≥ Grade 3 or treatment-discontinuation irAE due to immunotherapy, except controlled hypothyroidism, type 1 diabetes, or limited skin irAEs.
  • f) Unresolved AEs from prior anti-tumor therapy that have not returned to baseline or ≤ Grade 1 (per CTCAE v5.0) prior to first dose, except alopecia, ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy, or controlled hypothyroidism. Other ≤ Grade 2 AEs require PI and sponsor medical review.
  • Medical and Surgical History:
  • History or current diagnosis of muscle-invasive (T2-T4), locally advanced (T3/T4, any N), or metastatic bladder cancer.
  • History or evidence of upper urinary tract (kidney, renal pelvis, ureter) or prostatic urethral tumors.
  • Known vesicoureteral reflux or evidence of bladder perforation.
  • Active urinary tract infection.
  • Discontinuation of prior BCG therapy due to severe adverse events such as sepsis, systemic infection requiring treatment, or urinary incontinence (Phase Ib and II applicable).
  • Post-TURBT complications that preclude intravesical instillation, per investigator judgment.
  • Clinically significant polyuria (e.g., 24-hour urine volume \>4000 mL).
  • History of other malignancies within 2 years prior to screening that have shown progression or required active treatment.
  • Active or prior autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppressants or corticosteroids.
  • History of severe pulmonary toxicity.
  • History or imaging evidence of active pulmonary TB within 1 year prior to enrollment, or prior TB infection not adequately treated.
  • Uncontrolled pleural, pericardial, or peritoneal effusion deemed clinically significant by the investigator (e.g., requiring repeated drainage \>once/month).
  • History of significant cardiovascular disease.
  • Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to signing informed consent.
  • Infectious Disease History
  • a) Severe infections within 4 weeks before first dose. b) Any history of confirmed active HBV, HCV, HIV, or active tuberculosis infection.
  • Other Conditions
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  • Known, documented, or suspected substance abuse. Exceptions: Prescribed opioids for pain control or other investigator-approved, medically justified cases (pending sponsor medical lead agreement).
  • Any other conditions deemed by the investigator to render the subject unsuitable for participation.
