CG Oncology is an oncolytic immunotherapy company that is intensely focused on developing bladder saving therapeutics for patients with bladder cancer.
At CG Oncology, we see a world where urologic cancer patients can benefit from our innovative therapies to live and work with dignity and an enhanced quality of life.
Our lead candidate, cretostimogene grenadenorepvec (CG0070), is a targeted oncolytic intravesically-delivered immunotherapy. In BCG unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and other cancer types, the agent has shown promise in potentially delivering a safe and effective therapy alone as well as in combination with other therapies.
