New hope for tough bladder cancers: drug trial targets Treatment-Resistant cases

NCT ID NCT02625961

Summary

This study tested pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, for people with high-risk bladder cancer that didn't respond to standard BCG treatment and who couldn't or wouldn't have bladder removal surgery. The trial involved 296 participants and aimed to see if pembrolizumab alone or combined with other experimental drugs could effectively control the cancer. Researchers measured how many people had their cancer disappear completely and how long they remained cancer-free.
