ImmunityBio: FDA expands ANKTIVA approval to BCG-unresponsive papillary-only NMIBC

Positive Impact 3 of 5 legal/regulatory Written later

ImmunityBio announced on October 14, 2026 that the FDA expanded the approved indication for ANKTIVA plus BCG to include patients with BCG-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with papillary-only tumors. The company says this is the first FDA approval to cover that group and that access now extends to all patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. The filing contains no revenue, earnings, or guidance figures, so the effect on shareholders depends on future commercial results.

Key points

  • FDA expanded the ANKTIVA plus BCG indication on or before October 14, 2026, adding BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with papillary-only tumors
  • The company states papillary disease represents approximately 85% of the NMIBC patient population
  • The prior FDA approval, in April 2024, covered BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with carcinoma in situ, with or without papillary tumors
  • In Cohort A of the QUILT-3.032 trial, 62% of 77 patients achieved a complete response
