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.
