A Study of RAG-01 in Patients With Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) Who Have Failed Bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) Therapy

Overview

This is an open label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of RAG-01 in patients with NMIBC who have failed BCG therapy.

Description

The study is planned to include a "3+3" dose escalation phase. The primary study period includes a screening period, a treatment and Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) assessment period, and a follow-up period.

4. Expected survival ≥ 6 months;
5. ECOG PS ≤2;
6. Sufficient organ functions, as defined below:

   Investigations Hematology Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC): ≥ 1.5 x 109/L Hemoglobin: ≥ 90 g/L Platelet: ≥ 100 x 109/L Liver Function Serum bilirubin: ≤ 1.25×ULN or 2.5×ULN（with Gilbert syndrome） AST & ALT: ≤ 2.5×ULN Renal Function Creatinine Clearance (Cockcroft-Gault equation): ≥ 30 mL/min

7. Subject must be able to tolerate catheterization;
8. Female subject of childbearing potential and her spouse must use adopt effective contraception (non-pharmacological contraception required) from signing informed consent to within 6 months after the last instillation.
