Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Bladder Cancer

New treatment option for Bladder Cancer

Official title A Clinical Study of MK-3120 in People With Bladder Cancer (MK-3120-003)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07222488

What this study is testing

What is MK-3120?

MK-3120 is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for bladder cancer.

Also referred to as SKB410.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR NMIBC). NMIBC is cancer in the tissue that lines the inside of the bladder and has not spread to the bladder muscle or outside of the bladder.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works

A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
