Summary

This trial will test if atezolizumab can help prevent recurrence of MIBC in people who are high risk and ctDNA positive.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer who've had their bladders surgically removed and are positive for ctDNA, indicating a risk of recurrence. They should be fully recovered from surgery, have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, and agree to use contraception if applicable. Exclusions include active tuberculosis, severe allergies to certain substances, autoimmune diseases (with some exceptions), other recent cancer therapies or clinical trials.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness and safety of Atezolizumab (a type of immunotherapy) against a placebo in preventing cancer recurrence after bladder removal surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Atezolizumab or a placebo without knowing which one they're getting (double-blind).
What are the potential side effects?
Atezolizumab can cause immune-related side effects such as inflammation in various organs including lungs (pneumonitis), liver problems, skin reactions, hormone gland issues like thyroid disorders; it may also lead to infusion reactions during treatment administration.
