Breaking Paradigms: BOND-003's Cretostimogene Monotherapy for High-Risk, BCG-Unresponsive Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer - Mark Tyson

May 3, 2024

Mark Tyson presents results from the BOND-003 study, evaluating the efficacy of cretostimogene grenadenorepvec monotherapy in treating BCG-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Cretostimogene, an oncolytic adenovirus, selectively targets and destroys cancer cells while sparing normal tissue and boosting antitumor immunity. The phase III study reported a 75.2% complete response rate, with 83% maintaining a response beyond 12 months, demonstrating significant durability and tolerability with no major adverse events. Notably, patients not responding to initial treatment showed improvement upon subsequent doses, underscoring the adaptive immune response triggered by Cretostimogene. Based on these data, the FDA granted Fast Track & Breakthrough Therapy designation. Dr. Tyson highlights ongoing expansions in clinical trials and introduces an Expanded Access Program, emphasizing Cretostimogene’s promising role in enhancing bladder cancer management.
