The blood loss associated with hemorrhagic cystitis can lead to surgery and can be fatal. Lipella Pharmaceuticals received orphan disease designation for HC and recently completed a phase 2a clinical trial of LP-10 for the treatment of HC. METHODS: The LP-10 Phase 2a clinical trial was a multi-center, dose-escalation study of intravesical instillation of liposomal formulation of tacrolimus at 2mg, 4 mg and 8mg. The study recruited 13 subjects with moderate to severe refractory hemorrhagic cystitis. These subjects were treated with up to two courses of LP-10 bladder instillations (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01393223). RESULTS: Fifteen subjects were screened (14 male and 1 female) and 13 enrolled. All enrolled subjects were male with mean age 67 (range 25-89 years old) with a history of prostate cancer (n=9), bladder cancer (n=2) and lymphoma (n=2). Mean duration of HC was 4 years and ranged from 1-14 years. All subjects tolerated LP-10 instillations and completed the study without report of product related serious adverse events. LP-10 pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated short duration of systemic uptake. A dose response was observed. Responder analysis evaluating cystoscopy, hematuria, and symptoms noted complete response in 3 subjects, partial response in 7 subjects and no response in 3 subjects. (NR=“no response”, PR=“partial response”, CR=“complete response”) (normalized rank, 0 to 9) (Figure 1). CONCLUSIONS: The results of the Phase 2a study demonstrated safety and a signal of efficacy with dose response of LP-10 for the treatment of refractory moderate to severe HC. This is the first successfully completed trial for cancer survivors with HC and more research is needed to develop a drug treatment for hemorrhagic cystitis, a disease with great unmet need.
