Summary
This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer keep their bladder. About 60 participants who cannot or choose not to have bladder removal surgery will receive this combination. The main goal is to see if the cancer stays away for at least two years without needing a cystectomy.
