Abstract
Background: Nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is the most common form of bladder cancer, with high rates of disease recurrence and progression. Current treatment for high-risk NMIBC involves Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy, but treatment options are limited for patients with recurrent or BCG-unresponsive disease. Aberrant programmed death 1 signaling has been implicated in BCG resistance and bladder cancer recurrence and progression, and pembrolizumab has shown efficacy in patients with BCG-unresponsive high-risk NMIBC. Aim: To describe the rationale and design for the randomized, comparator-controlled Phase III KEYNOTE-676 study, which will evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in combination with BCG in patients with persistent/recurrent high-risk NMIBC after BCG induction therapy.
