sBLA submitted to FDA for use of ANKTIVA® plus BCG in BCG-unresponsive NMIBC for the indication of papillary disease
“In Q1, ImmunityBio completed the submission to the FDA of an sBLA for the use of ANKTIVA plus BCG in BCG-unresponsive NMIBC in the papillary indication. Subject to regulatory approvals, the addition of the papillary indication expands the patient population benefiting from this therapy beyond the currently approved indication of bladder carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary disease and allows more patients to avoid the high morbidity and mortality associated with radical cystectomy. The data submitted to the FDA included efficacy results demonstrating durable complete remissions in patients with BCG unresponsive NMIBC papillary disease. In 88% and 82% of subjects, the probability of avoiding surgical removal of the bladder was achieved for as long as 2 and 3 years respectively, following treatment with ANKTIVA plus BCG. The mortality and morbidity associated with a radical total cystectomy is high and this long-term bladder sparing therapy has the potential to provide a significant benefit and quality of life to patients suffering from BCG unresponsive papillary disease.”
