Apaziquone for Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: Where Are We Now?

ABSTRACT

Apaziquone is an interesting drug for intravesical use in patients with nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer; however, more research is needed to prove its actual benefit. Although the apaziquone trials demonstrate the potential of this new drug, the singular phase 3 trials did not reach their primary endpoint. To date, no new trials are recruiting, so the development of apaziquone seems to have stopped.
