CODEX: Study of Inodiftagene Vixteplasmid (BC-819) in Unresponsive Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC)
This study, BC-819-18-204, is a Phase 2, open-label, monotherapy, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial of BC-819 (inodiftagene vixteplasmid) in patients with NMIBC adequately treated with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) whose disease is BCG unresponsive. BC-819 is administered directly into the bladder to enable maximal topical exposure to target bladder cancer cells.

Efficacy and Safety of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Combination With Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) in High-Risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (HR NMIBC) (MK-3475-676/KEYNOTE-676)
This study is designed to assess the antitumor efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in combination with BCG, compared to BCG monotherapy, in participants with HR NMIBC that is persistent or recurrent following adequate BCG induction.
Expected Management
Canary PASS:
A multicenter, prospective active surveillance study with selective intervention in patients with previously untreated, clinically localized prostate cancer at diagnosis. The objective is to discover and confirm biomarkers that predict aggressive disease.
ProVent: Open- Label Trial of Sipuleucel-T Administered to Active Surveillance Patients for Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer
The ProVent study is a randomized, open-label study designed to assess the efficacy of sipuleucel-T in reducing the progression of lower risk non-metastatic prostate cancer compared to subjects followed on active surveillance as standard of care.

Hormone Therapy (ADT)
Ferring PRONOUNCE: “A Trial Comparing Cardiovascular Safety of Degarelix Versus Leuprolide in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease”
Purpose of this trial is to test if a marketed drug for advanced prostate cancer (FIRMAGON) can reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications as compared to another marketed drug for advanced prostate cancer (LUPRON DEPOT) in patients with prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease. Qualified patients for this study will receive either Firmagon® or Lupron®.

PROTEUS: A Study of Apalutamide in Participants With High Risk, Localized or Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer Who Are Candidates for Radical Prostatectomy
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus apalutamide (with or without abiraterone acetate with prednisone [AAP]) before and after radical prostatectomy in participants with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer results in an improvement in pathological complete response (pCR) rate and metastasis-free survival (MFS), as compared to ADT plus placebo.

Metastatic disease: Cancer that has spread to other areas
Clovis TRITON3: “A Study of Rucaparib Versus Physician’s Choice of Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer and Homologous Recombination Gene Deficiency”
The purpose of this study is to determine how patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and evidence of a homologous recombination gene deficiency, respond to treatment with rucaparib versus treatment with physician’s choice of abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, or docetaxel. Patients will be screened for the deleterious mutation in a BRCA1/2 or ATM gene to qualify.
