New combo therapy tested for tough bladder cancers

NCT ID NCT02989584

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a newer immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) is safe and effective for bladder cancer. It involves two groups of patients: those with cancer that has spread (metastatic) and those with cancer that has grown into the muscle wall but not spread. The main goal is to check the safety of this combination and see if it helps control the cancer better than chemotherapy alone.
