Study Summary

This phase II trial studies the effect of adding pembrolizumab to gemcitabine in treating patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer whose cancer does not respond to Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the patient's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding pembrolizumab to gemcitabine may delay the return of BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer for longer period compared to gemcitabine alone.

Primary Outcome

A complete response, only for patients with a CIS component, is a cystoscopy without evidence of bladder tumor and negative biopsy (including directed biopsies to any suspicious areas and in addition random bladder biopsies including trigone, left lateral wall, right lateral wall, posterior bladder, dome of bladder, and the prostatic urethra in men), and negative cytology for high grade disease.
