NCT ID NCT03575013

First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This early-phase study tested a combination of two drugs—avelumab (an immunotherapy) and docetaxel (a chemotherapy)—in 21 people with advanced bladder cancer that had stopped responding to standard platinum-based chemo or could not take it. The main goals were to find safe doses and see if the combo could shrink tumors. While the treatment aims to control the disease, it is not a cure, and ongoing management is expected.
