A catheter-delivered implant that slowly releases gemcitabine eliminated visible tumors in 82% of patients with BCG‑unresponsive, high‑risk non‑muscle‑invasive bladder cancer in a phase 2 study. More than half of responders remained cancer‑free for at least a year, and the device has since been approved by the FDA as Inlexzo for patients with carcinoma in situ who are ineligible for, or decline, bladder removal.
