About Research II

Research II makes use of the Therapeutic Dose (0.70 mg/cm²) of TLD-1433 and is concentrated on the enrollment and therapy of roughly 100 BCG-Unresponsive NMIBC CIS sufferers in as much as 20 medical examine websites situated in Canada and the US.

Research II has a:

1. Major endpoint of efficacy (outlined by Full Response (“CR“) at any time limit

2. Secondary endpoint of period of CR at 360 days post-initial CR (roughly 450 days put up preliminary Research therapy, assuming CR is achieved on the 90 day evaluation)

3. Tertiary endpoint of security measured by incidence and severity of Opposed Occasions (“AEs“) grade 4 or larger that don’t resolve inside 450 days post-initial therapy
