enGene Therapeutics Inc. Provides Clinical Updates enGene Therapeutics Inc. announced that during a plenary presentation at the recent American Urological Association (AUA) meeting, interim data wereshared from LEGEND’s pivotal Cohort 1 studying detalimogene without surfactant in high-risk (HR), Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in-situ (CIS). Efficacy overview: 54% (95% CI: 45%, 63%) complete response (CR) at any time (67/124); Low rate of progression to muscle invasive or more advanced disease (3.2%). Safety overview: Low percentage of patients experienced treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) leading to treatment interruption (2.4%) and treatment discontinuation (2.4%). Twenty-one patients were pending disease assessments at either six-, nine-, or 12-months as of the data cutoff date of April 21, 2026. enGene is awaiting 12-month CR data from Cohort 1, as well as the majority of 12-month durability data, and expects to engage with the FDA in 2H 2026 to discuss a BLA filing. Detalimogene plus Surfactant Cohort: In tandem with its pivotal update in May, the Company announced the initiation of an additional LEGEND cohort, which incorporates a short surfactant bladder rinse using diluted polidocanol solution. Polidocanol is an FDA-approved product used for the treatment of spider and reticular veins. Surfactants have been shown to boost efficacy with other gene therapies in preclinical models and were subsequently incorporated into clinical development of those gene therapies. In murine models tested by the Company, pretreatment with polidocanol demonstrated a 10-fold increase in mean IL-12 expression and was able to boost efficacy of a subtherapeutic dose of detalimogene. Findings were validated in a large mammal model tested by the Company where a surfactant rinse increased the distribution of detalimogene nanoparticles throughout the bladder by approximately 50% and IL-12 expression by nine-fold. The first patients have been enrolled in the surfactant cohort, and the Company may enroll up to 80 patients in this global cohort. The Company believes this approach has the potential to further enhance efficacy and durability while preserving the simplicity, tolerability, and office-based administration profile that may make detalimogene a preferred option for community urology practices, where approximately 80% of NMIBC patients receive treatment. LEGEND Cohorts 2a, 2b and 3: As part of cash conservation efforts, the Company has stopped enrollment in these additional cohorts and plans to reevaluate its strategy for them following discussion with the FDA in 2H 2026.
