Futibatinib and Durvalumab for Bladder Cancer
This study is testing a new combination of medications, futibatinib and durvalumab, for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). This is for patients who cannot receive the standard cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Futibatinib works by blocking certain enzymes that help cancer cells grow, and durvalumab is an antibody that may stop cancer cells from growing and spreading. These medications are given before surgery (radical cystectomy) to remove the bladder. The main goal is to see how many patients have a complete response to the treatment before surgery. To join, you must be at least 18 years old, have MIBC, and show overexpression of FGFR1, 2, or 3. The study plans to enroll 24 participants. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a Phase II interventional study. It plans to enroll 24 participants.
- What's involved
- You would receive futibatinib by mouth daily and durvalumab intravenously every 28 days for up to 3 cycles. You would also have blood draws, CT scans, and MRI scans.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- After treatment, you will be followed up at 30 days, and then every 3 months for 2 years.
