New combo therapy aims to fight bladder cancer without surgery

NCT ID NCT04106115

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether combining the immunotherapy drug durvalumab with a cancer vaccine (S-488210/S-488211) can help people with a type of bladder cancer that has not responded to standard treatment. The trial includes adults with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who cannot or choose not to have their bladder removed. Participants receive the drug intravenously and the vaccine as injections under the skin, and researchers monitor for side effects and how long the cancer stays away.

Active substance

durvalumab and S-488210/S-488211 vaccine

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with high-risk bladder cancer who have not responded to standard therapy, potentially avoiding the need for bladder removal.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so the results may not apply to everyone. The combination may cause side effects, and it is not yet known if it will be more effective than existing treatments.
