Keynote B15 - EV/Pembro vs GEM/CIS in muscle-invasive bladder cancer - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to find out if an experimental combination of two drugs, enfortumab vedotin (EV) and pembrolizumab, is a safe and effective treatment for your cancer. EV is an approved treatment for bladder cancer, and pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy that is approved to treat other cancers.

-- Group A will take the study drugs, EV and pembrolizumab

- Have surgery to remove your bladder after about 12 weeks of drug therapy
Participants assigned to Group A will continue to take EV and pembrolizumab after surgery.
