New drug combo tested before surgery for tough bladder cancers

NCT ID NCT04553939

Summary

This study tested whether giving a combination of two drugs (toripalimab and gemcitabine) before bladder removal surgery could help shrink tumors in patients who couldn't receive standard chemotherapy. The trial involved 50 adults with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who were scheduled for surgery but couldn't take cisplatin due to health reasons. Researchers measured how well the tumors responded to this pre-surgery treatment approach.
