MoonRISe-1

About this trial

The MoonRISe 1 study is a Phase 3 trial comparing a new treatment called TAR 210 with standard bladder chemotherapy (mitomycin C or gemcitabine) for adults with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) that has changes in the FGFR2 or FGFR3 gene. TAR 210 is a small device that is placed directly into the bladder through a catheter, where it slowly releases a cancer medicine called erdafitinib over several weeks. The device is replaced every 12 weeks for up to one year. The standard treatment group will receive chemotherapy delivered into the bladder through a catheter on a weekly or monthly schedule. The study is open to people who have had all visible tumours removed and have at least one intermediate-risk feature. The main goal is to find out which treatment helps prevent the cancer from coming back for longer, while also monitoring safety, side effects, and time to further treatment.
