Where were you offered the clinical trial? I'm from Florida.
Thanks

Hello,
I was diagnosed low grade NIMBC in December 2023, had TURBT, Mitomycin and a course of BCG.
The dctor found high grade NIMBC cardinoma in situ in January 2025, and I had an intravesical treatment of Adstiladrin in March. I have a cystopscopy scheduled for June 4th and I will know if I've achieved a complete response. I'm 70 years old. I had not heard of Cretostimogene prior to Fred's posting. I am thinking ahead, in the event that the Adstiladrin doesn't work. I'm trying to learn more about neobladders, which facility and physicians are best at the procedure, and - now - whether it would be a good choice to try Cretostimogene as a preliminary option, before surgery. I am in Omaha, Nebraska. Did you have to make application to participate in the Cretostimogene program? Was it something your doctor suggested? I'd appreciate any information you may have to share.

@sparkyconnect, I moved your question asking if anyone is taking the mmunotherapy called cretostimogene grenadenorepvec to this related discussion where you can connect with @nihifam4.

@sparkyconnect, did you decide to take part in the clinical trial?
Hello Fred,
I hope you can find someone on Connect with experience with this new drug. I see it was fast tracked through the FDA due to its high efficacy in trials. It says that secondary side effects were minimal and low grade. That might be an important factor for you since you have bladder damage from the proton beam therapy. Is that drug trial through Mayo or elsewhere?
