|---|---|
| Main Objective: Phase II: To demonstrate a superior safety profile of Bexidem with respect to “Frequent Immunotherapy-Linked Adverse Events” (FILAEs) compared to BCG therapy. Phase III: To compare efficacy (recurrence-free survival) of Bexidem therapy to BCG therapy.;Secondary Objective: Phase II: To evaluate overall efficacy and recurrence-free survival in patients treated with BEXIDEM therapy.Phase III: To evaluate overall safety of BEXIDEM therapy as compared to BCG.;Primary end point(s): The two-point objectives of this trial are (i) to demonstrate a superior safety profile of BEXIDEM-therapy compared to BCG as assessed by “Frequent Immunotherapy-Linked Adverse Events” (FILAEs), and (ii) to compare the efficacy of BEXIDEM therapy to BCG-therapy as assessed by recurrence-free survival.It is intended to conduct an analysis at the end of Phase II for the Phase II primary endpoint (safety profile) and an interim analysis to determine the number of additional patients required to complete a Phase III step to compare the efficacy of BEXIDEM therapy to BCG. A decision whether to continue or to discontinue the trial will be taken at the interim point. | — |
