Study on Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab with Bladder-Sparing Approach for Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

Sponsor: Matthew Galsky

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06809140

This clinical trial is testing a new treatment approach for muscle-invasive bladder cancer using a combination of drugs, Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab, with the goal of sparing the bladder when possible. The study aims to see if this combination can effectively treat the cancer while avoiding surgery in some cases.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study is exploring a treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) that combines two drugs, Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab. Patients will first receive three cycles of these drugs to see if the cancer responds well. If the cancer shows a complete response, patients will continue with maintenance treatment for up to 14 cycles. If there is still cancer present, surgery to remove the bladder may be necessary. The goal is to see if this drug combination can effectively treat the cancer while potentially avoiding surgery.
