Novel Delivery Mechanisms for Existing Systemic Agents and Emerging Therapies in Bladder Cancer

Bladder Cancer. 2023 Jun 27;9(2):109-123. doi: 10.3233/BLC-220114. eCollection 2023.

Abstract

Systemic agents including immune checkpoint inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates, and targeted therapies play a critical role in the management of bladder cancer. Novel localized delivery mechanisms for existing systemic agents explore solutions to improve treatment response without compromising safety. Herein, we review the contemporary innovations in modern intravesical agents, hyperthermic drug delivery, reverse-thermal gels, nanocarriers, gene therapy, and subcutaneous therapies.
