Study Summary

This trial is testing a combination of two drugs, futibatinib and durvalumab, given before surgery to treat patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot have the standard treatment with cis

Who is the study for?
This trial is for muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients who can't have the standard cisplatin-based therapy due to issues like poor kidney function, nerve damage, weak physical condition, or serious heart failure. Participants will undergo surgery to remove the bladder and should not have had prior treatments that would affect their eligibility.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of two drugs, futibatinib and durvalumab, given before bladder removal surgery (radical cystectomy). Futibatinib blocks enzymes needed for tumor growth while durvalumab targets tumor cells' ability to spread. The aim is to see if this drug combo works well as an alternative treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs (like inflammation), infusion reactions from receiving drugs through a vein, fatigue, nausea or diarrhea. There may also be risks associated with undergoing major surgery such as bleeding or infection.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (futibatinib, durvalumab, radical cystectomy)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive futibatinib PO QD on days 1-28 and durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 3 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo radical cystectomy within 4-12 weeks. Patients also undergo CT and MRI during screening and on the trial and also undergo blood sample collection on the trial.
