Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Participants With High Risk Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MK-3475-057/KEYNOTE-057)

NCT02625961

Description:

In this study, participants with high risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) unresponsive to Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) therapy and who are considered ineligible for or have refused to undergo radical cystectomy, will receive pembrolizumab therapy. The primary study hypothesis is that treatment with pembrolizumab will result in a clinically meaningful response.

             received study therapy or received investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the
             first dose of study treatment

          -  Received intervening intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy from the time of most
             recent cystoscopy / Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) to starting study
