Promising drug combo aims to wipe out bladder cancer before surgery
NCT ID NCT07314723
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining two drugs (9MW2821 and toripalimab) before and after surgery can improve outcomes for people with urothelial cancer (a type of bladder cancer). About 90 adults with non-spread cancer will receive the treatment and be monitored for tumor shrinkage and safety. The goal is to see if this approach can eliminate visible cancer and delay or prevent recurrence.
