New drug duo tested before surgery for tough bladder cancers

NCT ID NCT02812420

Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety of a two-drug immunotherapy combination (durvalumab and tremelimumab) given before surgery to patients with aggressive bladder and related urinary tract cancers. The trial is specifically for patients who cannot receive the usual pre-surgery chemotherapy due to health reasons. Researchers will check how patients' immune systems respond and see if the treatment helps shrink or eliminate the cancer before it is surgically removed.
