Lab-Grown tumor clusters guide tailored bladder cancer therapy

NCT ID NCT07690878

First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a personalized approach for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are scheduled for bladder removal surgery. Before treatment, a small sample of the tumor is used to grow cell clusters in the lab. These clusters are tested against different drugs to find the most effective combination for each patient. The goal is to see if this tailored therapy can eliminate all cancer before surgery, improving long-term outcomes.

Active substance
gemcitabine, cisplatin, disitamab vedotin (RC48), enfortumab vedotin, toripalimab
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could make pre-surgery treatment more effective for each patient, potentially improving outcomes in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (35 participants) testing a new method. The personalized approach may not work for everyone, and side effects from the drug combinations are possible.
