Biodistribution & persistence
Vector DNA in bladder (Days 8, 98); blood within 24 h; urine 2-3 days; low levels in liver, kidney, gonads; none in reproductive tissue at end
“Biodistribution analysis indicated the presence of rAd-IFN DNA in the bladder on Days 8 and 98.”

Modality-specific risk
Local urothelial toxicity of intravesical vector/Syn3 (inflammation, ulceration, fibrosis); anti-vector immunity; limited systemic spread
“Findings in the urinary bladder included mononuclear cell infiltration, inflammation, cytoplasmic vacuolation, urothelial hyperplasia, ulceration, and chronic inflammation”
