This trial is for adults with high-grade T1 bladder cancer without nodal or distant spread, with bladder removal recommended. Disease must recur after bladder-instilled treatment, persist after repeat resection, or have specified high-risk features.

The idea: compare pembrolizumab plus radiation with chemotherapy plus radiation. Pembrolizumab blocks PD-1 immune suppression and is infused every six weeks for nine cycles. The chemotherapy group receives cisplatin, gemcitabine, or mitomycin with fluorouracil. Researchers measure bladder-intact event-free survival.

This phase 2 study plans 160 patients. Brian Baumann leads the NCI-sponsored study across 142 recruiting US sites.
