Combination therapy with immune checkpoint blockade and chemotherapy appeared feasible for some patients with metastatic bladder cancer, study data showed. “Because chemotherapy and immunotherapy are the two pillars of treatment for metastatic bladder cancer, we sought to better understand how these treatments might be best given together,” said Matthew Galsky, MD, director of the novel therapeutics program and genitourinary medical oncology at the Tisch Cancer Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “Already the results of this trial have inspired the creation of two more trials that seek to better the treatment of patients with bladder cancer by combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy.”
