Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of drugs to treat bladder cancer. It is also looking at whether or not a complete response predicts benefit for patients who choose to avoid surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are fit for cystectomy, have not had chemo for this cancer before, and do not have active infections or other cancers. They must be able to perform daily activities with ease (ECOG ≤1) and have normal organ function. Women of childbearing age must use contraception and cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, plus Nivolumab as a pre-surgery treatment in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to assess safety and effectiveness while considering non-surgical options based on complete response rates.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions that can affect organs, infusion-related symptoms like fever or chills, fatigue, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, liver enzyme alterations indicating liver stress.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Determine the ability of clinical complete response (cT0 or cTa) to predict benefit from treatment.
Determine the clinical complete response rate (cT0 or cTa) with gemcitabine, cisplatin, plus nivolumab
Secondary outcome measures
Assess Adverse Events
Bladder intact overall survival
Determine the association between a prespecified panel of genomic biomarkers and benefit from treatment in patients achieving a clinical complete response.
