Cretostimogene grenadenorepvec

Cretostimogene is a virus engineered to multiply only in bladder cancer cells with a broken RB pathway, instilled into the bladder. It cleared carcinoma in situ in 75% of BCG-unresponsive patients.

Replication restricted by the E2F-1 promoter to RB-deficient cells; expresses GM-CSF. BOND-003 cohort C: CR 75.2%, 24-month CR 41.8%, no grade 3+ treatment-related events. Rolling BLA under way; full submission expected Q4 2026. Also tested in BCG-naive (CORE-008) and intermediate-risk (PIVOT-006) NMIBC. CG Oncology.
