First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tested the drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) alone or with other medicines in 296 people with high-risk bladder cancer that did not get better after standard BCG therapy. Participants were not able or willing to have their bladder removed. The goal was to see if the treatment could make tumors shrink or disappear and keep the cancer from coming back. The study looked at how many patients had a complete response and how long they stayed cancer-free.
