Triple threat: new drug cocktail targets Hard-to-Treat bladder cancer
NCT ID NCT05335941
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a combination of three drugs—pemetrexed, etrumadenant, and zimberelimab—in 10 people with advanced bladder cancer that has a specific genetic change (MTAP deficiency) and has already been treated with immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the triple therapy can shrink tumors and control the disease. Because it's a small, single-site study, the results will be very preliminary.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
pemetrexed, etrumadenant, and zimberelimab (three drugs given together)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with a specific type of advanced bladder cancer that has stopped responding to immunotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase study with only 10 participants at one center. The combination may cause significant side effects, and results may not apply to all patients.
