Study Summary

This trial is for patients with MTAP-deficient advanced urothelial cancer who have received prior immunotherapy. It is a single site study at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. This study will allow patients in second line of treatment for advanced urothelial cancer or beyond.

Who is the study for?
Adults with MTAP-deficient advanced urothelial cancer who've had prior immunotherapy can join this Phase 2 trial. They must have measurable disease, adequate organ function, and an ECOG performance status ≤ 2. Pregnant women, those with certain heart conditions or severe allergies to antibodies, and individuals with uncontrolled illnesses are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of Pemetrexed plus AB928 (Etrumadenant) & AB122 (Zimberelimab) in patients previously treated for advanced bladder cancer. It's open-label at MD Anderson Cancer Center and includes participants as second-line treatment or beyond.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system such as inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions from the drugs administered, fatigue, possible liver enzyme elevations indicating liver stress or damage, blood cell count changes which could affect immunity and healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are the dangers of Pemetrexed for people?

"Although there is some evidence pointing to its safety, Pemetrexed only received a score of 2 because this is still classified as a Phase 2 trial. This means that while there are no studies currently supporting efficacy, animal testing has shown some promise."

Answered by AI
