This study is open-label dose expansion study to investigate the safety and toxicity of intravesical treatment of high-grade NMIBC (HGTa or CIS, including CIS with concomitant Ta) after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and/or biopsy using TARA-002 in adults unable to obtain intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), adults who have received at least one dose of intravesical BCG or adults who have received at least one dose of intravesical chemotherapy.

After completion of the dose escalation phase (Phase 1a) and after the RP2D has been established, the dose expansion phase (Phase 1b) will start enrollment of subjects with CIS NMIBC with active disease to further evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of TARA-002, at the established RP2D. CIS NMIBC with active disease is defined as disease present at the last cystoscopic evaluation prior to signing the ICF. Subjects enrolled in the dose expansion phase will not include subjects previously enrolled and treated in the dose escalation phase.

All subjects will receive 6 weeks of treatment at the established RP2D.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Male or female subjects 18 years of age or older at the time of signing the informed consent
• Subjects who have voluntarily given written informed consent after the nature of the study has been explained according to applicable requirements prior to study entry
• Subjects with a histologically confirmed, high-grade Ta or CIS (including CIS with concomitant Ta) urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder according to central review
• Subjects who are treatment naïve, unable to obtain intravesical BCG for the treatment of NMIBC, have received at least one dose of intravesical BCG, or at least one dose of intravesical chemotherapy

Exclusion Criteria:

• Penicillin allergy (subjects with a questionable history of allergy to penicillin or no history of penicillin use will undergo penicillin allergy testing prior to inclusion in the study)
• Predominant (defined as > 50%) adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or histological variants including plasmacytoid, sarcomatoid, or squamous components according to central review
• Concomitant prostatic or upper tract urothelial involvement per Investigator's assessment
• Nodal involvement or metastatic disease that existed at any time (past or present disease)
• Bladder cancer stage ≥ T1 within the last 36 months according to central histology review
• Bladder cancer stage CIS with concomitant T1
