Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Study REL-NDV01-303 is a Phase 3, open-label, multi-center study to determine the safety and efficacy of NDV-01 in adult participants with NMIBC. The study will include two cohorts: * Cohort 1: a randomized, open-label, parallel group, multi-center, Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the NDV-01 versus observation in participants with histologically confirmed IR-NMIBC. * Cohort 2: an open-label, multi-center, single-arm Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the NDV-01 in two populations of high-risk NMIBC: * Cohort 2a: will include participants with HR-NMIBC who have a biopsy-proven recurrence with CIS ± papillary disease after receiving one or 2 lines of therapy for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC (approved or in development). * Cohort 2b: will include participants with high-risk papillary-only disease (without CIS) NMIBC who have a biopsy-proven recurrence with HG papillary disease after receiving one or 2 lines of therapy for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC (approved or in development). This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravesical administration of NDV-01, and its effect on disease recurrence and progression in patients with NMIBC who have IR disease and have recently undergone a TURBT (Cohort 1) and in patients who have HR BCG-unresponsive disease and who have recurred after first-line therapy for BCG-unresponsive patients - both approved and in development - and are unwilling or unable to undergo radical cystectomy (Cohort 2). Both GEM and DOCE have established safety and efficacy across a range of tumor types, including IR and BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. By combining both GEM and DOCE in an intravesical extended-release formulation, Relmada believes that NDV-01 has the potential to be an agent for second-line therapy in patients who have recurred after first-line therapy in BCG-unresponsive disease, thereby avoiding radical cystectomy. This study will serve as a master protocol for all cohorts included in the study.

Cohort 1 Inclusion Criteria: 1. Be ≥18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in the jurisdiction in which the study is taking place) at the time of informed consent. 2. Have a histologically confirmed diagnosis (within 90 days of randomization) of IR NMIBC based on the AUA/SUO criteria of IR NMIBC (excluding LGT1 tumors). 3. Participant must be willing to undergo all study procedures (e.g., multiple cystoscopies from Screening through the end of study and TURBT for assessment of recurrence/progression) and receive the assigned treatment, including intravesical chemotherapy if randomized into that arm. 4. Participant must have ≥ 1 IBCG risk factors: 1) multiple tumors, 2) early recurrence (within 1 year), 3) frequent recurrences (\> 1 per year), 4) tumor size (\> 3 cm), 5) failure of prior induction intravesical therapy. 5. Visible papillary disease must be fully resected prior to randomization, and absence of disease must be documented at Screening cystoscopy. The same method for visualizing disease at Screening cystoscopy should be used throughout for the participant (white light versus enhanced cystoscopic method \[e.g., blue light cystoscopy, narrow-band imaging\]). All pathology specimens must be predominantly urothelial (transitional cell) and have less than 20% variant (e.g., sarcomatoid, squamous component) histology. 6. Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2. Cohort 1 Exclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically confirmed stage T1 tumors. 2. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of HR NMIBC (including CIS) or muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), locally advanced, nonresectable, or metastatic urothelial carcinoma at any time prior to enrollment. 3. Has had urothelial carcinoma outside of the urinary bladder (including prostatic urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis) or has a predominant histological variant of urothelial carcinoma (UC). Ta/any T1, CIS of the upper urinary tract is allowable if treated with complete nephroureterectomy more than 24 months prior to initiating study. 4. Participant has tumor(s) involving the prostatic urethra (ductal or stromal). 5. N+ and/or M+ per computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance (MR) urography. 6. Received an investigational treatment for bladder cancer within 6 months prior to randomization, before the planned first dose of study treatment, or is currently enrolled in an investigational study. 7. Received adjuvant induction intravesical chemotherapy within 3 months of current diagnosis. Peri-operative instillation of a single dose of intravesical chemotherapy is allowed per institutional guidelines. 8. Received prior intravesical treatment with immunotherapy, including BCG, within 3 months prior to randomization. Cohort 2 Inclusion Criteria: 1. Cohort 2a: BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS of the bladder, with or without coexisting papillary Ta/T1 tumor(s) who are ineligible for or have elected not to undergo cystectomy at the time of enrollment and have received 1 or 2 lines of therapy after meeting criteria for BCG unresponsiveness and experienced biopsy confirmed CIS disease within 12 months of last treatment, where: * Adequate BCG regimen consists of at least 2 courses of BCG, where the first course (induction) must have included at least 5 of 6 doses and the second course may have included a re-induction (at least 2 of 6 treatments) or maintenance (at least 2 of 3 doses). Adequacy of the BCG regimen will be determined by the Investigator in conjunction with the Sponsor. * Treatment after BCG unresponsiveness includes either approved or in development therapy * Post-treatment presence of CIS must be documented or indicated by pathology at screening or within 4 months of screening (provided no therapy for CIS disease was given after the most recent biopsy). * For inclusion, a participant with BCG-unresponsive disease (as defined above) must have received up to two lines of therapy for BCG-unresponsive disease and who are being considered for radical cystectomy.

A participant with HG T1 may be eligible after repeat-TURBT showing non-invasive (Ta or less) or no disease. Either original or repeat-TURBT must confirm that muscularis propria is present and uninvolved in the specimen. 2. All specimens must be predominantly urothelial (transitional cell) carcinoma with or without squamous or glandular differentiation. Pure squamous or glandular tumors will not be included. A participant with less than 10% micropapillary histology will be included. All other variant histology (e.g., plasmacytoid, small cell, nested, trophoblastic variants) will not be included. Cohort 2 Exclusion Criteria: 1. Has had urothelial carcinoma outside of the urinary bladder (i.e., urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis) or has a predominant histological variant of UC.
