Brief Summary
This is an open-label, phase 2, randomized study of intravesical N-803 plus BCG (experimental arm A) and intravesical N-803 plus gemcitabine (experimental arm B) in participants who have intermediate-risk Ta/T1 papillary disease. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of these experimental therapies without the need for surgical intervention by CR rate at month 3 or month 6 (for re-inducted participants).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Efficacy of Arms A and B at Month 3 and Month 6
Evaluate efficacy of experimental therapies with a) intravesical N-803 plus BCG or b) intravesical N-803 plus gemcitabine by CR rate at month 3 or month 6 (for re-inducted participants) in participants with intermediate-risk NMIBC.
At Month 3 and Month 6
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Efficacy of Arms A and B at by CR rate at each response assessment
At Month 3 through Month 36
Study Arms (2)
N-803 and BCG
EXPERIMENTALCombination treatment of 1) N-803 (400 μg): Weekly for 6 weeks (induction, re-induction); Monthly from month 3 through month 15 (maintenance) and 2) BCG (50mg): Weekly for 6 weeks (induction, re-induction)
N-803 and Gemcitabine
EXPERIMENTALCombination treatment of 1) N-803 (400 μg): Weekly for 6 weeks (induction, re-induction); Monthly from month 3 through month 15 (maintenance) and 2) Gemcitabine (2000mg): Weekly for 6 weeks (induction, re-induction)

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥ 18 years.
- Low-grade (LG) Ta papillary disease as determined by Investigator.
- History of LG NMIBC requiring treatment with transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT). Note: This refers to a previous episode(s) and not to the current episode for which the participant is being screened. Any presence of variant histology, or LVI should be deemed high-risk.
- Negative voiding cytology for HG disease within 12 weeks prior to screening.
- Intermediate-risk disease, defined as having 1 or 2 of the following:
- Presence of \>1 and \< 5 tumors;
- Solitary tumor \< 3 cm;
- Early or frequent recurrence (≥ 1 occurrence of LG NMIBC within 1 year of the current diagnosis at the initial screening visit).
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 to 2.
- Voluntary written informed consent and HIPAA authorization and agreement to comply with all protocol-specified procedures and follow-up evaluations.
You may not qualify if:
- Received BCG treatment for urothelial carcinoma.
- History of HG bladder cancer (papillary or CIS) in the past 2 years.
- Clinically significant urethral stricture that would preclude passage of a urethral catheter.
- Life expectancy \< 2 years.
- Any of the following clinical laboratory values at the time of enrollment:
- Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) \> institutional lower limit of normal (LLN)
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 800/μL
- Platelets \< 50,000/μL
- Aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\] or alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\]) \> 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Creatinine level \> 3 × ULN. Note: Each study site should use its institutional LLN/ULN to determine eligibility.
- History of or evidence of muscle-invasive, locally advanced, metastatic and/or extravesical bladder cancer (inclusive of the prostatic urethra); or any other cancer within the past 5 years that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions are adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer; adequately treated stage I or II cancer or stable prostate cancer from which the participant is currently in complete remission, and is under active surveillance or hormone control; or any other cancer that investigator feels is stable with permission of Medical Monitor.
- Suspicion of active upper tract urothelial malignancy.
- Currently receiving investigational or commercial anticancer agents or anticancer therapies other than BCG, N-803, and supportive care therapies for active disease.
- Symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF), New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, or other clinical signs of severe cardiac dysfunction.
- Severe/unstable angina pectoris, or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to study entry.
