Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with T2-T4aN0M0 bladder cancer for neoadjuvant therapy or those with postoperative pathological stage T3-T4 and/or positive lymph node metastasis for adjuvant therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have previously received systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy, or those with active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic treatment, may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of Clostridium butyricum in enhancing the response to anti-PD1 therapy in patients with bladder cancer. It is divided into two parts: one focusing on patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy to assess if Clostridium butyricum improves treatment efficacy after three cycles, and the other examining its impact on prognosis in patients undergoing adjuvant therapy. The study aims to provide insights into improving treatment outcomes for bladder cancer patients who currently have limited options.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve treatment responses and survival rates for bladder cancer patients.
How similar studies have gone: While the combination of Clostridium butyricum with PD1 inhibitors is a novel approach, similar studies exploring immunotherapy enhancements have shown promising results.
