Summary

This early-phase trial tested whether a targeted chemotherapy drug (sacituzumab govitecan) given before bladder removal surgery could improve outcomes for people with a rare type of muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The study planned to enroll about 20 participants but was stopped early after only 4 people joined. The main goal was to see if the drug could make the cancer disappear completely by the time of surgery.
