Individuals who are immunosuppressed or immune-deficient, should not prepare, administer, or come into contact with ADSTILADRIN
ADSTILADRIN is provided as a sterile frozen suspension.
All four vials of ADSTILADRIN must be thawed and brought to room temperature (20°C to 25°C [68°F to 77°F]) prior to use. Do not expose the vials to higher temperatures (>25°C [77°F]).
Protect from light. DO NOT refreeze.
ADSTILADRIN may be moved between refrigerator and room temperature if the total storage time at each condition is not exceeded (24 hours at room temperature and 7 days refrigerated including thawing time). [
WHEN THAWING IN WATER BATH
Frozen ADSTILADRIN vials will thaw in approximately 25 minutes outside the cardboard nest when placed directly in a water bath maintained at 25°C [77ºF]. Place the vials in the water bath, ensuring that the water level is sufficient to cover the product within the vials.
Following thawing, remove vials from the water bath and dry with a clean paper towel to remove any residual moisture prior to further handling.
WHEN THAWING AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
Frozen ADSTILADRIN vials will thaw in approximately 3 to 5 hours outside the cardboard nest when placed at room temperature (up to 25°C [77ºF]) (8 to 10 hours inside the nest).
WHEN THAWING IN REFRIGERATOR
Frozen ADSTILADRIN vials will thaw in approximately 4 to 5 hours outside the cardboard nest when placed in the refrigerator (up to 8°C [46ºF]) (11 to 13 hours inside the nest). Subsequent time for bringing thawed ADSTILADRIN to room temperature is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes outside of the cardboard nest (6 hours inside the nest).
Inspection and Preparing ADSTILADRIN for instillation
Visually inspect all 4 vials for visible particles and discoloration. The suspension is clear to slightly opalescent and may contain opalescent flecks. Do not use if visible particles or discoloration are observed. Mix gently. Do not shake.
Items required for instillation:
- 70% isopropyl ethanol pads
- Four (4) thawed vials of ADSTILADRIN
- Four (4) vented vial adapters suitable for a standard 20 mL vial
- Two (2) standard 50 or 60 mL polypropylene Luer lock syringes or one (1) Luer lock syringe equal to or greater than 75 mL (max 100 mL)
- Two (2) Luer lock adapters
- One (1) straight, or intermittent, urethral catheter with a proximal funnel opening that will accommodate the Luer lock adapter.
- Use only catheters made of vinyl/PVC (uncoated or coated with hydrogel), red rubber latex or silicone to instill ADSTILADRIN. Do not use catheters coated or embedded with silver or antibiotics.
- Using aseptic technique, remove the cap from an ADSTILADRIN vial.
- Prior to vial access, wipe the access diaphragm with 70% isopropyl alcohol pad, allowing it to air dry before proceeding.
- Attach a vented vial adapter according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Connect the syringe to the vial adapter and withdraw the contents of the vial into the syringe. Repeat steps 1-2 for the remaining three (3) vials until 75 mL has been withdrawn into one (1) or two (2) syringes.
- Discard any remaining volume according to universal precautions.
- If unable to administer the suspension shortly after withdrawal, the solution may be stored in syringes for up to 6 hours at room temperature (20°C to 25°C [68°F to 77°F]) protected from light.
Treat any ADSTILADRIN spills or unused portion with a virucidal agent (such as sodium hypochlorite with 0.5% active chlorine or 6% hydrogen peroxide solution) for 15 minutes. Disposable materials that have come into contact with ADSTILADRIN should be placed in biohazard containers for destruction. Non-disposable equipment may be decontaminated according to the facility’s standard operating procedures.
2.3Bladder instillation of ADSTILADRIN
- Premedication with an anticholinergic before each instillation of ADSTILADRIN is recommended.
- ADSTILADRIN must be brought to room temperature before administration [
- Before administering ADSTILADRIN to the patient, insert one straight, or intermittent, urinary catheter with a proximal funnel opening that will accommodate the Luer lock adapter.
- Use only catheters made of vinyl/PVC (uncoated or coated with hydrogel), red rubber latex or silicone to instill ADSTILADRIN. Do not use catheters coated or embedded with silver or antibiotics.
- Use the catheter to completely empty the patient's bladder before instillation of ADSTILADRIN. Do not remove the catheter.
- Attach the Luer lock end of the same catheter adapter to the syringe containing ADSTILADRIN and insert the tapered end of the catheter adapter into the funnel opening of the catheter.
- Slowly instill 75 mL of ADSTILADRIN into the bladder through the catheter, ensuring that the complete volume is administered.
- After the instillation, ADSTILADRIN should be retained in the bladder for 1 hour. During the 1-hour dwell time, the patient should reposition approximately every 15 minutes from left to right, back and abdomen to maximize bladder surface exposure. If, during the dwell time, the patient exhibits bladder cramping or premature voiding, repositioning of the patient may be adjusted or discontinued.
- Evacuate ADSTILADRIN from the bladder as part of routine emptying of the bladder, or the patient may void and completely empty the bladder after 1 hour has elapsed.
- Voided urine should be disinfected for 15 minutes with an equal volume of virucidal agent before flushing of the toilet. [

6CLINICAL STUDIES
The efficacy of ADSTILADRIN was evaluated in CS-003 (NCT02773849), an open-label, multicenter, single-arm trial in 103 adults with BCG-unresponsive, high-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary tumors following transurethral resection, of whom 98 were considered evaluable for response. BCG-unresponsive high-risk NMIBC was defined as persistent disease following adequate BCG therapy, disease recurrence after an initial tumor-free state following adequate BCG therapy, or T1 disease following a single induction course of BCG. Adequate BCG was defined as the administration of at least five of six doses of an initial induction course plus either of: at least two of three doses of maintenance therapy or at least two of six doses of a second induction course. Prior to treatment, all patients had undergone transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) to remove all resectable disease (Ta and T1 components). Residual CIS (Tis components) not amenable to complete resection was allowed. The trial excluded patients with extra-vesical (i.e., urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis), muscle invasive (T2-T4), or metastatic urothelial carcinoma.
Patients received ADSTILADRIN 75 mL intravesical instillation (3 x 10
The major efficacy outcome measures were complete response (CR) at any time (as defined by negative results for cystoscopy [with TURBT/biopsies as applicable] and urine cytology) and duration of response. Low-grade (Ta) papillary disease was not considered a recurrence for the purposes of evaluating CR. CR was assessed at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months by cystoscopy and cytology. Random bladder biopsy of five sites was conducted in patients remaining in CR at Month 12. Assessment of durability of CR subsequent to these evaluations was performed per local standards of care.
The evaluable CIS study population characteristics were median age of 70 (range 44-89) with 32% >75 years of age; 88% male, 92% White. Tumor pattern at study entry was CIS with T1 (5%), CIS with high-grade Ta (19%), and CIS (76%). The median number of instillations of prior BCG was 12 (range 8 to 18).
Efficacy results are summarized in Table 3.
