Window of Opportunity Platform Study to Define Immunogenomic Changes With Pembrolizumab Alone and in Rational Combinations in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center·interventional·Posted Jun 7, 2019·Updated Oct 15, 2025

In Brief

A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Pembrolizumab, Entinostat, and 1 other intervention for Bladder Cancer. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 20 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

This is an open-label, window of opportunity platform study for subjects with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who are deemed ineligible or refuse cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy and are scheduled to undergo definitive surgery (radical cystectomy), or are planning to undergo trimodality therapy (maximal transurethral resection of the bladder tumor followed by concurrent chemoradiation). The primary objective of this study is to assess changes to immunogenomic markers after treatment with pembrolizumab alone and in combination with the selective class I histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor (entinostat).

Interventions

Pembrolizumabdrug

200 mg IV on day 1 and day 22

Entinostatdrug

5 mg given orally on day 1, day 8 and day 15

Procedure/Surgeryprocedure

A radical cystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the entire urinary bladder and maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is a surgical procedure used to remove as much of the bladder tumor as possible.
