Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept-pmln (Anktiva – ImmunityBio), a first-in-class interleukin-15 (IL15) receptor agonist, has been approved by the FDA for use with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for treatment of patients with BCG-unresponsive nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ with or without papillary tumors. Such patients generally undergo bladder tumor resection, followed by intravesical BCG treatment, but treatment failure and cancer recurrence are common. The adenoviral vector-based intravesical gene therapy nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg (Adstiladrin) and the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab (Keytruda) are also approved for the same indication.
