DV+BCG in HER2-Expressing, BCG-Naïve High-Risk NMIBC
China182 participantsStarted 2025-12-01
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (Disitamab Vedotin) in people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. This study is seeking participants whose bladder cancer is still in early stages, has not spread outside of the bladder, has been removed with surgery, and is high risk. Each participant was assigned to one of two study treatment groups: One group is given Disitamab Vedotin and BCG.The second group is given BCG only and will not receive Disitamab Vedotin.

Inclusion criteria
. Age ≥ 18 years.
. Histologically confirmed high-risk, non-muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCC) (with \>50% urothelial carcinoma as the predominant histological component), defined by the presence of any of the following: a. T1 tumor; b. High-grade Ta tumor; c. Carcinoma in situ (CIS).
. Complete resection of all Ta/T1 papillary lesions (including patients with concomitant CIS). The most recent Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) must have been performed within 12 weeks prior to randomization. A second TURBT was required if indicated per current local applicable guidelines.
. HER2 expression (IHC 1+/2+/3+) as confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing at the local institution's pathology department.
. Unwillingness or ineligibility to undergo radical cystectomy.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring

Event free survival
Timeframe: 55 months after first participant randomized
. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of ≤ 2.
. Signed informed consent form (ICF).
Exclusion criteria
. Histologically confirmed evidence of muscle-invasive (T2 or higher), locally advanced, or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, or the presence of concurrent extravesical non-muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma.
. Histopathological findings of pure small cell carcinoma, pure adenocarcinoma, pure squamous cell carcinoma, or pure squamous CIS of the bladder.
. History of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (except for cases with no recurrence within 2 years following radical treatment for UTUC).
. Prior therapy with any other type of HER2-targeted inhibitor.
. Major surgery within 2 weeks prior to randomization.
. Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would make the patient unsuitable for participation in this study.
