Targeted pill shows promise for Tough-to-Treat bladder cancer

NCT ID NCT04917809

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study tests a daily pill called erdafitinib in 20 adults whose non-muscle invasive bladder cancer has returned after standard treatments like BCG or chemotherapy. Only people whose tumors have a specific FGFR3 gene change can join. The pill blocks the faulty protein made by that gene, aiming to shrink or eliminate tumors before a planned surgery to remove them. The goal is to see if this targeted approach works for this hard-to-treat cancer.
