Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of UGN-104, a new formulation of UGN-101 (approved in the United States and Israel as JELMYTO \[mitomycin\] for pyelocalyceal solution), instilled in the upper urinary tract (UUT) of patients with low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (LG-UTUC).

Study Arms (1)
UGN-104
EXPERIMENTALPatients will receive UGN-104 once weekly for 6 weeks (a total of 6 doses). The dose of UGN-104 to be instilled is 4 mg mitomycin per 1 mL sterile hydrogel via ureteral catheter (retrograde administration) or nephrostomy tube (antegrade administration). Patients who have a CR at the PDE Visit will enter the Follow-up Period and may receive UGN-104 as maintenance treatment once monthly for 11 months (a total of 11 doses) at the discretion of the investigator.
Interventions
UGN-104 consists of mitomycin and sterile hydrogel (a proprietary thermally responsive gel) that is used to reconstitute mitomycin before instillation. The reverse thermal properties of UGN-104 allow for local administration of mitomycin as a liquid under chilled conditions, with subsequent conversion to a semi-solid gel depot following instillation into the UUT.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Provide written informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form and protocol.
- Naive or recurrent patients with LG, non-invasive UTUC in the pyelocalyceal system, with the following disease characteristics:
- At least 1 measurable papillary LG tumor, evaluated visually, ≤ 15 mm. The largest lesion should not exceed 15 mm. Debulking to ≤ 15 mm is permitted.
- Biopsy taken from at least 1 tumor located above the ureteropelvic junction revealing LG urothelial carcinoma (UC). Patients who have been biopsied within 8 weeks before Screening for this study and shown to have LG UC may have these historical biopsies used for enrollment into the study and do not require repeat biopsy during Screening.
- Patient should have at least 1 remaining papillary LG tumor evaluated visually with a diameter of at least 5 mm post-biopsy.
- Wash urine cytology sampled from the pyelocalyceal system documenting the absence of high-grade (HG) UC, diagnosed not more than 8 weeks before Screening.
- Patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status \< 3 (with Karnofsky \> 40).
- Patients with life expectancy \> 24 months at time of Screening.
- Patients must have adequate organ and bone marrow function as determined by the following routine laboratory tests:
- Leukocytes ≥ 3,000/μL (≥ 3 × 10\^9/L).
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/μL (≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L).
- Platelets ≥ 100,000/μL (≥ 100 × 10\^9/L).
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL.
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN.
- +7 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Patient received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment for UC during the 6 months before enrollment.
- The patient has untreated concurrent UC in locations other than the target area (unless treated and resolved during Screening); ie, ureteral and lower urinary tract tumors must be completely ablated before entry.
- Patient has a history of carcinoma in situ (CIS) in the urinary tract.
- Patient has a history of invasive UC in the past 5 years.
- Patient has a history of HG papillary UC in the urinary tract in the past 2 years.
- Patient is actively being treated or intends to be treated with systemic chemotherapy during the duration of the study.
- Any other malignancy diagnosed within 2 years before enrollment with the exception of:
- Basal or squamous cell skin cancers.
- Noninvasive cancer of the cervix.
- Any other cancer deemed to be of low risk for progression or patient morbidity during the study period in the opinion of the investigator.
- Patient with urinary obstruction such that there is an inability to deliver the study treatment to the pyelocalyceal system either via ureteral catheter (retrograde administration) or nephrostomy tube (antegrade administration).
- Known allergy or sensitivity to any component of the study treatment (including excipients) that in the investigator's opinion cannot be readily managed.
- Patient has an intractable bleeding disorder (eg, coagulation factors deficiencies, Von Willebrand disease).
- Patient is currently receiving any other investigational product, has participated in a research protocol involving administration of an investigational product in the past 30 days, or plans to participate in a research protocol involving administration of an investigational product during study conduct.
- Patient was previously treated with JELMYTO (product code UGN-101) for UTUC.
