Study 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).
