Bi-213-anti-EGFR-MAb therapy of recurrent bladder cancer – a pilot study
Following transurethral resection of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (carcinoma in situ) and subsequent chemotherapy and treatment with Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG), up to 40% of patients relapse within 5 years and need complete bladder excision. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies to combat tumor recurrence are needed. Because treatment of mice bearing intravesical human bladder cancer xenografts with Bi-213-anti-EGFR-MAb turned out highly efficient, the aim of this pilot study was to evaluate feasibility, safety and therapeutic efficacy of the α-emitter radioimmunoconjugate in recurrent bladder cancer patients.
