Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects of a drug called infigratinib before surgery in patients with upper tract urothelial cancer. The drug may help shrink the tumor, making surgery easier.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with upper tract urothelial cancer who can provide a biopsy, have adequate kidney function, and are physically able to participate. Women of childbearing potential must test negative for pregnancy and agree to use contraception. Participants should not have other cancers or conditions that could interfere with the study, nor be on certain medications affecting enzyme activity.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Infigratinib's effects when given before surgery to shrink tumors in patients with upper tract urothelial cancer. It examines if pre-surgery treatment makes the surgical procedure easier or reduces the need for more extensive surgery while assessing side effects and quality of life through questionnaires.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include issues related to blocking FGFR gene activities which may affect cell growth processes. Specific side effects aren't listed but generally could involve reactions at the drug administration site, gastrointestinal disturbances, fatigue, skin changes, or abnormal blood counts.
