Compares treatment options for Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC)
Official title EV + Toripalimab vs GC as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Locally Advanced/High-Risk MIBC
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07647289
What this study is testing
What is enfortumab vedotin (EV)?
enfortumab vedotin (EV) is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (mibc).
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
- The purpose of this Phase II, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Enfortumab Vedotin in combination with Toripalimab compared to Gemcitabine plus Cisplatin. This regimen is evaluated as a neoadjuvant treatment for patients with locally advanced or high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
