PLZ4-Coated Paclitaxel-Loaded Micelles for the Treatment of Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NCT06173349)

A Phase I Microtrial With PLZ4-Coated Paclitaxel-Loaded Micelles (PPM) in Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Non-Myoinvasive Bladder Cancer

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase1 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: University of California, Davis

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase I trial tests the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of PLZ4-coated paclitacel-loaded micelles (PPM) in treating patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). PPM is a bladder cancer-specific nanoparticle that can specifically target and deliver treatment to the tumor cells in the bladder. PPM contains paclitaxel, which is a drug that kills tumor cells or keeps them from growing.
