Andrea Necchi on TAR-200 plus cetrelimab as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer
Monday, 29 September, 2025

SunRISe-4 is a randomised, open-label, phase 2 trial being conducted at 109 investigative centres in ten countries worldwide, and aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant TAR-200 plus cetrelimab (anti-PD-1) versus cetrelimab monotherapy in this disease setting.They discuss the unique features of the TAR-200 localised sustained delivery system for gemcitabine, the key findings from the SunRISe4-trial trial, and what the future implications of the findings are in terms of better treatment options for patients with bladder cancer.Read the full article:https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(25)00358-4/abstract?rss=yes?dgcid=buzzsprout_icw_podcast_September_25_lanoncTell us what you thought about this episodeContinue this conversation on social!Follow us today at...https://thelancet.bsky.social/https://instagram.com/thelancetgrouphttps://facebook.com/thelancetmedicaljournalhttps://linkedIn.com/company/the-lancethttps://youtube.com/thelancettv
