New pill targets genetic weakness in Tough-to-Treat bladder cancers

NCT ID NCT03047213

Summary

This study is testing an oral drug called sapanisertib for people with advanced bladder cancer that has a specific genetic mutation (TSC1 or TSC2) and has stopped responding to standard platinum-based chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors and control the cancer's growth by blocking a key cellular pathway. It is a small, Phase 2 trial focused on safety and initial effectiveness for this specific group of patients.
