Abstract

See full text

Compositions and methods for enhancing introduction of therapeutic agents into the bladder epithelium for the treatment of bladder diseases and disorders such as bladder cancer are described. According to one method, the luminal surface of the bladder is contacted with a composition comprising a bladder enhancer and a therapeutic agent for the treatment of the bladder disease. According to an alternative method, the luminal surface of the bladder is first contacted with a pretreatment composition comprising a bladder enhancer and subsequently contacted with a composition comprising a therapeutic agent for the treatment of the bladder disease. The transduction enhancing agent can be a mono-, di-, or poly-saccharide having a lipophilic substituent such as n-dodecyl-.beta.-D-maltoside (DDM). Compositions comprising a transduction enhancing agent and a therapeutic agent for the treatment of a bladder disease are also described.
