Study Summary

This trial tests a novel vaccine designed to boost the body's own immune system to fight bladder cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who've tried BCG treatment twice without success and aren't eligible for or have declined cystectomy. They should be in relatively good health (ECOG score 0-2) with a life expectancy of at least 6 months, adequate organ function, and no severe concurrent diseases. Pregnant women, those with certain recent treatments or vaccinations, uncontrolled diseases, or known allergies to trial drugs are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of an immune-modulatory therapeutic called IO102-IO103 with pembrolizumab against bladder cancer. IO102-IO103 aims to activate T-cells to fight tumors and remove cells that suppress the immune system. Pembrolizumab may help the body's immune system attack cancer by making tumor cells more visible to it.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions related to immunotherapy such as fatigue, flu-like symptoms, allergic reactions, skin rash or itching. There might also be specific effects from activating the immune system like inflammation in various organs which could lead to symptoms depending on which organs are affected.
