Sponsor: AstraZeneca

Sponsor score: 40

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT03459846

This clinical trial is testing the effectiveness and safety of using Durvalumab alone or in combination with Olaparib as a first treatment option for patients with advanced bladder cancer who cannot undergo platinum-based chemotherapy.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to find out if Durvalumab, either by itself or combined with Olaparib, can effectively treat patients with advanced bladder cancer who are not eligible for platinum-based chemotherapy. The study will compare the outcomes of these two treatment approaches to see which is more effective and safe.

Description

This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two treatment options for patients with advanced bladder cancer who cannot receive platinum-based chemotherapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Durvalumab alone or Durvalumab combined with Olaparib. The study aims to determine which treatment is more effective in controlling the cancer and improving patient outcomes. Participants will be monitored closely for any side effects and the overall impact of the treatment on their cancer.
