New combo therapy aims to stop bladder cancer return after surgery
NCT ID NCT06305767
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine (V940) to standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) can prevent high-risk bladder cancer from coming back after surgery. About 230 adults with muscle-invasive bladder cancer will receive either the vaccine plus immunotherapy or a placebo plus immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination keeps people cancer-free longer and is safe.
