Summary

This trial is testing a new combination therapy for patients with bladder cancer who are ineligible or refuse cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with muscle invasive bladder cancer who can't have or don't want cisplatin-based chemotherapy. They must be planning to have their bladder removed, not have had previous systemic cancer therapy, and agree to use contraception. People with significant uncontrolled diseases, recent major surgeries, certain allergies or autoimmune diseases, other cancers within the last 5 years, or active infections are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial tests APL-1202 in combination with tislelizumab versus tislelizumab alone as a pre-surgery treatment for bladder cancer patients ineligible for cisplatin chemo. It aims to assess safety and effectiveness of this combo and how it affects tumor markers.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions like fever or chills during drug administration, fatigue, potential liver issues indicated by blood test changes and increased risk of infection.
