First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase III trial tests whether adding local radiotherapy to standard care helps bladder cancer patients who are not eligible for curative treatment live longer and feel better. About 248 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care alone or standard care plus modern, targeted radiotherapy. The study also collects biomarkers to personalize future treatments.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a well-tolerated treatment option that extends survival and improves quality of life for bladder cancer patients who cannot have curative therapy.
What could go wrong
