Pembrolizumab and BCG for High-Risk Upper Urinary Tract Cancer
This study is testing a combination treatment for high-risk superficial upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma (UUTTCC), a type of cancer in the upper urinary tract. You might be eligible if you have this type of cancer that can be removed with an endoscopic procedure (a procedure using a thin, lighted tube) and you are unable or unwilling to have a radical nephroureterectomy (surgery to remove the kidney and ureter). The study is looking at the safety of Pembrolizumab (also known as MK-3475) when given with BCG, a common treatment for this cancer, after your cancer has been removed. The main goal is to see if this combination leads to a complete response, meaning no signs of cancer, as checked by a scope and tissue samples at 19 weeks. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 20 participants.
- Study design
