1B Intravesical Administration of SCH 721015 (Ad-IFNa) in Admixture With SCH 209702 (Syn3) for The Treatment of BCG Refractory Superficial Bladder Cancer

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2016-11-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The goal of this part (Part 1) of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety of giving 2 doses of SCH 72105 (also known as rAd-IFN) directly into the bladder to patients with bladder cancer that has come back. The goal of Part 2 of this study is to learn about the safety of giving 2 more doses of SCH 72105 directly into the bladder of Part 1 participants who had no sign of bladder cancer after Week 12. The level of effectiveness of SCH 72105 will also be studied by measuring the interferon (IFN) levels in the urine.

• Phase: Phase 1
