Program Overview
The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a three-drug combination treatment for patients with advanced urothelial cancer that is MTAP-deficient and has been previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. This trial is open to patients who are receiving a second line of treatment or beyond for their cancer.
Description
The main goals of this study are to assess how safe and tolerable the combination of Pemetrexed, Etrumadenant, and Zimberelimab is for patients, and to see how well it works in treating advanced urothelial cancer. Researchers will also explore how the treatment affects the cancer environment, including immune cells around the tumor. Additionally, the study will look at the survival rates of patients receiving this treatment.
Participants must meet certain criteria to join the study, including having a confirmed diagnosis of MTAP-deficient urothelial cancer and having been previously treated with specific immunotherapy drugs. The study will involve regular monitoring and assessments to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for participants.
