NCT ID NCT07633353

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how well a combination of two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) works as a first treatment for people with advanced upper tract urothelial carcinoma, a rare cancer of the urinary tract. Researchers will track 50 patients in France to see how many respond to treatment and how long they live without the cancer growing. They will also check for side effects and look at certain markers in the tumors that might predict who benefits most.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that the drug combination is an effective first-line treatment for this rare type of urinary tract cancer.
