Summary
This trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, cabozantinib and atezolizumab, is effective in treating patients with urothelial carcinoma who are ineligible for or decline cisplatin-based therapy.
Who is the study for?
Adults with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who can't have or don't want cisplatin-based therapy. They should be fit for surgery, not pregnant, willing to use contraception, and free from HIV/AIDS, severe infections, other active cancers (except certain cases), significant heart disease, and uncontrolled illnesses. Prior treatments and allergies to study drugs are also considered.
What is being tested?
The trial tests cabozantinib taken orally daily combined with atezolizumab given intravenously every three weeks in patients before they undergo cystectomy. The goal is to see how well these drugs work together against bladder cancer when cisplatin isn't an option.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include liver problems, high blood pressure, bleeding issues, fatigue, mouth sores, hand-foot syndrome (redness and pain on palms or soles), taste changes, poor appetite leading to weight loss; plus typical immune-related side effects like rash or thyroid issues.
