Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a treatment plan for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who want to avoid bladder removal. Participants receive chemotherapy plus an immunotherapy drug called tislelizumab, followed by a tailored course of radiation therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer while keeping the bladder intact.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a combination of tislelizumab (an immunotherapy drug), gemcitabine and cisplatin (chemotherapy drugs), and modified hypofractionated radiation therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a way to treat muscle-invasive bladder cancer without removing the bladder, preserving quality of life while controlling the disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There are risks from chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, including side effects and the chance the cancer may still return.
