A Phase II Trial of Intravesical Gemcitabine and Docetaxel in the Treatment of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin‒Naïve Nonmuscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder.

Abstract

Combination intravesical gemcitabine and docetaxel (GemDoce) has demonstrated efficacy as second-line therapy for patients with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)‒unresponsive nonmuscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (NMIBC). In the context of widespread BCG shortages, we performed a phase 2 prospective trial to assess GemDoce for BCG-naïve NMIBC.
