Overview

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with urothelial cancer (UC) that is locally advanced or metastatic. The standard treatment for locally advanced or metastatic UC is enfortumab vedotin (EV) given with pembrolizumab.

The goals of this study are to learn about:

  • The safety of the study treatment when given with standard treatment and if people tolerate it
  • The number of people who have the cancer respond (cancer gets smaller or goes away) with the new study treatment when given with standard treatment.

Description

This is a substudy of the master protocol MK-3475-U04 (KEYMAKER-U04)

  • If infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), has well controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy
  • If positive for hepatitis B surface antigen, has received hepatitis B virus (HBV) antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks and has undetectable HBV viral load before randomization

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
