Experimental
Arm Label
Sequential Dose Cohorts
Arm Description
Doses of Toca 511 will be evaluated in sequential cohorts. Toca 511 will be administered as a single intravesical instillation. Following Toca 511 administration, Toca FC will be administered orally at a dose of 220 mg/kg/day for 7 days every 6 weeks.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Dose-limiting toxicities
Any treatment-related Grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity, excluding nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea that are controllable with appropriate medical measures (eg, antiemetics, antimotility drugs)
Any treatment-related Grade 4 or higher hematologic toxicity
Secondary Outcome Measures
Differences in viral transduction of Toca 511 at each dose level, based on quantitation of viral RNA and DNA in tumor
Clearance of viral RNA in plasma and urine, based on real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and of viral DNA in whole blood and urine, based on quantitative PCR (qPCR)

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open-label study of intravesical Toca 511 followed by oral Toca FC in patients with high grade (HG) non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), with cohort expansion at the recommended Phase 2 dose. Patients with recurrent HG NMIBC who are undergoing planned transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) will be enrolled into the study, subject to meeting all entry criteria.

Intervention Description
Toca 511 consists of a purified retroviral replicating vector encoding a modified yeast cytosine deaminase (CD) gene. The CD gene converts the antifungal drug, flucytosine (5-fluorocytosine; 5-FC) to the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in cancer cells that have been infected by the Toca 511 vector.
