Does anyone know of treatments more effective than BCG?

My husband is in a very large trial (BRIDGE) to test gemci/doce vs. BCG and hopefully they will have results next year. One cohort has been receiving the standard BCG treatment and the other cohort receives monthly infusions of gemci/doce. Both started with the six weeks of infusions but deviated in the following schedule for gemci/doce which was once a month for two years. Both cohorts had cystoscopies every three months. He will complete the two years of monthly infusions of gemci/doce this August with almost no side effects and no evidence of disease.

@katereut
After having had the induction period of Gem/Doce, after which I was pronounced "in remission," I completed the first, three-month maintenance and had my follow-up cystoscopy Wednesday. All clear, subject to urinalysis result.
