New bladder cancer strategy aims to shrink tumors before surgery

NCT ID NCT05241340

Summary

This study is testing a new two-part treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer in patients who cannot receive standard chemotherapy. Before having their bladder surgically removed, participants receive a drug called sasanlimab (an immunotherapy) and a short, precise course of radiation. The main goal is to see if this combination can completely eliminate the cancer in the removed bladder and is safe for patients.
