Summary

This early-phase study tested two immunotherapy drugs, durvalumab and tremelimumab, given before surgery to patients with aggressive bladder cancer who cannot receive standard chemotherapy. The main goal was to check safety and side effects. Researchers also looked at how the drugs affect the immune system and whether they help shrink tumors before removal. The study involved 54 participants with high-risk, muscle-invasive urothelial cancer.
