CheckMate 274 Trial Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of the drug Nivolumab to a placebo in patients who have had surgery for urothelial cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients who've had surgery to remove high-risk invasive urothelial cancer from the bladder, ureter, or renal pelvis. They should be currently free of disease (confirmed by imaging), have not received cisplatin chemotherapy before surgery unless ineligible or refusing further cisplatin treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing Nivolumab, an immunotherapy drug, against a placebo to see if it's more effective in preventing cancer recurrence after radical surgery. Participants will randomly receive either Nivolumab or a placebo without knowing which one they're getting.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Nivolumab can cause immune-related side effects such as inflammation in various organs like lungs and intestines, skin rash, liver problems, hormone gland issues (like thyroid), fatigue and infusion reactions.
