New combo therapy aims to shrink tough bladder cancers before surgery

NCT ID NCT05137262

Summary

This study is testing if adding a drug called durvalumab (an immunotherapy) to standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for bladder cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to shrink the cancer more effectively before surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard chemo or the chemo plus durvalumab, and the durvalumab may be continued as a maintenance treatment for up to a year.
