Smriti Patodia, Senior Editor of The Lancet Oncology, is joined by Dr Andrea Necchi, Associate Professor at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, and the Director of Genitourinary Medical Oncology at the San Raffaele Hospital, in Milan, Italy, to discuss his SunRISe4-trial published in our October issue.

Effective treatments are needed for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer scheduled for radical cystectomy who are ineligible for or decline to receive neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy. 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.
