Think of the savings and cost advantage :-)

Photodynamic Therapy

TLD-1433 is a novel ruthenium-based photosensitizer that selectively binds to bladder cancer cells. When activated by a 520 nm intravesical laser (TLC-3200) under general anesthesia (90 J/cm2 of laser light), it generates cytotoxic singlet oxygen and radical oxygen species, leading to cell death. PDT is also known to induce an antitumor cascade of immune signaling.16,17

At ASCO GU 2023, Dr. Girish Kulkarni presented the interim results of a phase II trial evaluating this intravesical photo dynamic therapy in patients with BCG unresponsive CIS. At the time of presentation, the trial had enrolled 52 patients (70% pure CIS, 20% CIS + HG T1, 10% CIS + Ta). This was a heavily pre-treated cohort, with 21% having >19 prior BCG instillations. A complete response, defined by a negative cystoscopy and cytology, was observed in 54% of patients. Among the 12 patients who had available follow-up at 450 days, 8 (67%) had a complete response. While 9/52 patients experienced a serious adverse event, none were deemed directly treatment-related per the Data Safety Monitoring Board.
