These can be serious, and include bladder infection, anaemia and kidney problems. Up to a third of patients do not respond to BCG at all, with many then being forced to have their entire bladder removed, statistics show.Īnd another third suffer side effects. Immune cells are then attracted to the organ and attack the tumour. Patients may also be treated with the live bacteria Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG).īCG is put directly into the bladder where it 'turns on' the immune system. This involves a surgeon removing a tumour via the urethra. A trans urethral resection is typically the go-to for early stages of the disease. Professor Bennett added HAMLET may not be completely 'non toxic', with apoptosis causing inflammation.īladder cancer can be tricky to treat. 'Note also no actual clinical outcomes are presented, such as improved survival or time in remission.' 'However, no measure of statistical significance for the difference between treated and control is given. 'The researchers report some tumour cell death and shedding of cells or tumour fragments from the bladder cancer into the urine,' she said. She questioned whether a 40-patient trial is sufficient to show a drug is effective. Professor Dorothy Bennett, director of the molecular and clinical sciences research institute at St George's, University of London, argued HAMLET has been used as far back as 2004 when a study looked at it in warts. Professor Svanborg claims alpha1H caused 'tumour disappearance' in mice. The research team also plan to investigate the drug in brain and colon cancer. The chemical's apparent gentleness means it could be used as a preventative drug in at-risk patients, she said. Professor Svanborg added: 'We believe the treatment points to new ways of reaching a balance between therapeutic efficacy and side effects.' Mats Persson, CEO of Hamlet Pharma Ltd, said: 'We need more evidence but hopefully this could be the gentle chemotherapy of the future.' Unlike conventional chemo, there was also no damage to healthy tissue. Eight of the nine patients passed tumour cells in just two hours, with the malignant masses also becoming smaller or less aggressive.
