First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing a combination of three drugs—sacituzumab govitecan, zimberelimab, and domvanalimab—given before and after surgery for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The study includes 70 patients who cannot take standard cisplatin chemotherapy. The main goal is to see if the treatment can completely eliminate the tumor by the time of surgery.
