This is a video synopsis/summary of an Investigator Perspectives featuring Neal Shore, MD, FACS.
Dr Shore discusses limitations of current treatments for high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) shortages occur, and manufacturing complexity contributes. Intravesical chemotherapy has more success in intermediate-risk patients. With high-risk disease, bladder removal (cystectomy) is often recommended, which has risks including mortality.
The SunRISe-1 trial is evaluating an investigational drug delivery device called TAR-200, which provides sustained-release gemcitabine directly into the bladder vs standard intravesical chemotherapy. Early results presented at the American Urological Association 2023 Annual Meeting showed approximately 90% complete response at 3 months and approximately 80% at 6 months when TAR-200 is used as monotherapy in BCG-unresponsive, high-risk NMIBC patients who refused or were ineligible for cystectomy. TAR-200 is also being studied with cetrelimab, a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor.
The patients enrolled have received at least 5 of 6 BCG induction courses plus 2 of 3 maintenance courses, meeting criteria for BCG-unresponsive disease. They refused or were ineligible for cystectomy, often due to comorbidities. The TAR-200 device is easily placed and removed in the clinic setting without need for systemic anesthesia.

Advancing bladder cancer care: The importance of integrating mental health support
September 9th 2024"I think the fact that we're having these conversations, that they are being talked about at national meetings, and that we are bringing the patient voice into this is hugely important," says Mary W. Dunn, MSN, NP-C, OCN, RN.
Speaking of Urology Podcast: Dr. Ritch and Dr. Katz discuss new bladder cancer management app
December 7th 2021“It's not a replacement for clinical judgment, obviously. But at the end of the day, the idea is that it shows you what your next steps are based on what the American Urological Association and [Society of Urologic Oncology] guidelines are for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer,” Chad R. Ritch, MD, MBA, FACS.
