Oncofid-P (paclitaxel-hyaluronic acid conjugate)

Novel intravesical delivery systems show to enhance drug retention, improve tissue penetration, and potentially reduce adverse events. While traditional chemotherapy or BCG remain the gold-standard adjuvant treatments for NMIBC, these novel approaches offer promising alternatives for selected patients pending on ongoing clinical validation.

The clinical response to ONCOFID-P-B™ in bladder CIS likely relies on several components of the TME, and the combined evaluation of intra-tumoral macrophages density and CD44v6 expression is a potentially new predictive biomarker for patient response. Overall, our data allow to advance a potential rationale for combinatorial treatments targeting the immune infiltrate such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, to make bladder CIS more responsive to ONCOFID-P-B™ treatment.

Oncofid-P-B is very safe, well tolerated and highly effective (75% CR) when administered weekly for up to 12 consecutive weeks (75% CR), with 40% CR still after 15 months from treatment start.

Collectively, our data demonstrate that Onco-P20, exerting both a direct and an NHF-mediated indirect effect on carcinoma cells, is a candidate for an innovative therapy alternative to surgery for the treatment of NMSC.
