ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a combination of three treatments—tremelimumab, durvalumab, and belinostat—aimed at helping patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma, which is a type of bladder cancer that has either spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to find out the best dose of belinostat to use alongside durvalumab, an immunotherapy drug that helps the immune system attack cancer cells, and to see what side effects might occur. This trial is currently recruiting participants aged 18 and older who have urothelial carcinoma with specific criteria, such as having tried at least one previous treatment or not being a suitable candidate for standard therapies.

Eligible participants can expect to receive these treatments while being closely monitored for their health and any side effects. They will be required to undergo some tests to ensure their health is stable before joining the trial. Additionally, participants will need to provide informed consent and may need to follow certain guidelines related to prior treatments and other health conditions. This study aims to offer new hope for patients facing challenging cancer diagnoses by exploring a potentially effective combination therapy.
