Simple blood test could open lifesaving cancer drug to more patients

NCT ID NCT06129084

Summary

This study is testing whether a blood test can more accurately identify patients with advanced bladder cancer who are eligible for a targeted drug called erdafitinib. Currently, doctors use a tissue sample from a past biopsy, which may not reflect the current state of the cancer. Researchers will compare the blood test results to the standard tissue test in 260 patients to see if the blood test finds more people who could benefit from the treatment.
