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
This study includes a dose escalation and a dose expansion. The dose escalation part will adopt a '3+3' dose escalation design. Additional subjects may be enrolled to have approximately 12 patients in each selected dose level for RDE determination. A randomized, open label, parallel-arm study will be conducted during the dose expansion part for further dose exploration. Approximately 40-60 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into two treatment groups with dose levels selected from dose escalation part of the study. Randomization will be stratified based on disease type at enrollment (papillary-only vs. CIS). A dose selection analysis will be performed to assess safety, efficacy, PK, and PD, where applicable, to determine the optimal dose for RAG-01. The main study period includes the screening, initial treatment and DLT assessment period, second and third treatment period and the sequential follow-up period.
