Gemcitabine + Docetaxel vs BCG

for Bladder Cancer

This trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, Gemcitabine and Docetaxel, given directly into the bladder, is effective for patients with high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who have not been treated with the standard therapy before. The goal is to see if this new treatment can prevent cancer from coming back or spreading. The study will also look at the quality of life, safety, and side effects of the new treatment. Gemcitabine and Docetaxel have shown promise as an alternative treatment, especially in cases where the standard therapy fails or is not tolerated.

Pembrolizumab + Gemcitabine

for Bladder Cancer

This phase II trial studies the effect of adding pembrolizumab to gemcitabine in treating patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer whose cancer does not respond to Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the patient's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding pembrolizumab to gemcitabine may delay the return of BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer for longer period compared to gemcitabine alone.
