Summary
This trial is testing how well atezolizumab works in treating patients with bladder cancer that has come back and has not responded to Bacillus Calmette-Guerin.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with recurrent, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that hasn't responded to BCG therapy. Eligible participants must have had all visible tumors removed recently and can't have muscle invasive bladder cancer or certain other cancers. They need normal blood counts, liver and kidney function, no severe allergies to Chinese hamster products, no recent immunosuppressive treatments or live vaccines, and cannot be pregnant.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of Atezolizumab, a monoclonal antibody immunotherapy drug. It aims to see if this treatment can help the immune system fight off bladder cancer cells that have returned after failing to respond to previous BCG therapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Atezolizumab may cause side effects like fatigue, allergic reactions related to infusion processes, potential organ inflammation due to an overactive immune response, as well as increased risk of infections.
