MBP 266.0 Jelmyto (mitomycin ureteral gel)
Mitomycin alkylates DNA to produce DNA cross-linking (primarily with guanine and cytosine pairs) and inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis. Mitomycin is not cell cycle specific but has its maximum effect against cells in late G and early S phase. Following instillation into the pyelocalyceal system, mitomycin (ureteral gel) forms a semisolid gel that dissolves from normal kidney urine flow, releasing mitomycin.

MBP 236.0 Jemperli (dostarlimab-gxly)
Jemperli is an anti-PD-1 humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody which inhibits programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) activity by binding to the PD-1 receptor on T-cells to block PD-1 ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2) from binding. Blocking the PD-1 pathway inhibits the negative immune regulation caused by PD-1 receptor signaling.
