Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept, sold under the brand name Anktiva, is a fixed-dose combination medication used for the treatment of bladder cancer.[1] It is an interleukin-15 receptor agonist.[1] It is given in combination with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) via intravesical drug delivery.[1] It contains nogapendekin alfa, a human IL-15(N72D) variant, which is more potent than regular IL-15;[4][5] and inbakicept, an interleukin 15 receptor subunit alpha agonist.[6][7]

The most common adverse reactions include increased creatinine, dysuria, hematuria, urinary frequency, micturition urgency, urinary tract infection, increased potassium, musculoskeletal pain, chills, and pyrexia.[8]

Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept was approved for medical use in the United States in April 2024.[8] The US Food and Drug Administration considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[9]

Medical uses

Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept is indicated with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin for adults with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with carcinoma in situ with or without papillary tumors.[1][8]

History

Efficacy was evaluated in QUILT-3.032 (NCT0302285), a single-arm, multicenter trial of 77 participants with BCG-unresponsive, high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with carcinoma in situ with or without Ta/T1 papillary disease following transurethral resection.[8] Participants received nogapendekin alfa inbakicept induction via intravesical instillation with BCG followed by maintenance therapy for up to 37 months.[8] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the application for nogapendekin alfa inbakicept breakthrough therapy designation.[8]

Society and culture

Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept was approved for medical use in the United States in April 2024.[8][10]

In December 2025, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a conditional marketing authorization for the medicinal product Anktiva (nogapendekin alfa inbakicept) to treat adults with a type of bladder cancer that affects the lining of the bladder (non-muscle invasive bladder cancer) and that is at high risk of growing and spreading (carcinoma in situ, with or without papillary tumors).[2] The applicant for this medicinal product is Serum Life Science Europe GmbH.[2][11] Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept was authoried for medical use in the European Union in February 2026.[2][3]
