About Cretostimogene Grenadenorepvec

Cretostimogene is an investigational, intravesically delivered oncolytic immunotherapy being evaluated in BOND-003, a Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of patients with high-risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) who are unresponsive to Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) therapy. Cretostimogene is also being evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial (CORE-001) in combination with pembrolizumab in the same indication and in a Phase 3 monotherapy clinical trial (PIVOT-006) in intermediate-risk NMIBC patients. In addition, cretostimogene is being evaluated in an investigator-sponsored clinical trial in combination with nivolumab for the treatment of muscle invasive bladder cancer.

About the BOND-003 Clinical Study

BOND-003 (NCT04452591) is a single-arm, open-label, Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating cretostimogene as monotherapy in patients with high-risk NMIBC unresponsive to BCG therapy. The study has enrolled 115 patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC across North America and the Asia-Pacific region.

About the PIVOT-006 Clinical Study

PIVOT-006 (NCT06111235) is a randomized, open-label, Phase 3 clinical trial enrolling patients and evaluating adjuvant cretostimogene in intermediate-risk NMIBC patients following transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT). The primary endpoint of PIVOT-006 is overall recurrence-free survival (RFS), with secondary endpoints including RFS at 12 and 24 months and progression-free survival.
