FDA Accepts Supplemental BLA for ANKTIVA + BCG in BCG-Unresponsive NMIBC with Papillary Disease; PDUFA Jan 2027
“Today’s acceptance of the supplemental BLA represents an important milestone for ImmunityBio and for patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC,” said Richard Adcock, President and CEO of ImmunityBio. “ANKTIVA is already approved for patients with CIS with or without papillary disease, and this application has the potential to expand access to patients with papillary-only disease, the larger segment of the BCG-unresponsive population. The revelation by the clinicians at the FDA workshop that they treat patients today with papillary disease alone by offering off-label FDA approved therapies for papillary and CIS disease, emphasizes the urgent need for this therapy to be made available to patients suffering from high-grade NMIBC. If approved, this expanded indication would further position ANKTIVA plus BCG as an important immunotherapy option across the NMIBC treatment landscape, enabling insurance reimbursement, making this chemotherapy free treatment available to more patients.”
