Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 1. Patients that are identified as locally advanced upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma by ureteroscopic biopsy and imaging diagnosis and are determined as appropriate candidates for radical nephrectomyby an attending urologist; 2.

Agree to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, lab tests and any other required study procedures; 7. Patients who are ineligible for cisplatin for some reasons, for example endogenous creatinine clearance rate<60ml/min, patients refuse to receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

- 1. Patients who have received prior therapy of an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 antibody; 2. Patients who are allergic to monoclonal antibodies or any of its excipients; 3. Patients who have received other systems for anti-tumor treatment (e. g., Steroid therapy, immunotherapy) within 4 weeks or enrolled in other clinical trials; 4.

Patients who have received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment; 9. Patients who have received prior radiation therapy to the bladder; 10. Patients who have bladder cancer; 11. Patients who have received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or solid organ transplantation; 12. Patients who have a history of substance abuse or with a history of mental disorders; 13. Patients who had other malignant tumors in the past five years that have not recovered except for curable tumors that have been cured including basal or squamous skin cancer, localized carcinoma in situ of the cervix or the breast and low-risk prostate cancer, etc.

14. Patients who have active tuberculosis; 15. Patients who have other serious and uncontrollable accompanying diseases that may affect compliance or interfere with the interpretation of results including active opportunistic infections or advanced (severe) infections, uncontrollable diabetes, cardiovascular disease (grade III or IV heart failure defined by the New York Heart Association classification, II degree atrioventricular block and above, myocardial infarction in the past 6 months, unstable arrhythmia or instability angina, cerebral infarction within 3 months, etc.) or lung disease (interstitial pneumonia, history of obstructive lung disease and symptomatic bronchospasm); 16. Patients who have a large amount of pleural fluid or ascites with clinical symptoms or requiring symptomatic treatment;

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Neoadjuvant therapy of cisplatin-based chemotherapy has been proved to improve prognosis of muscle invasive UTUC patients in several studies. This study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant PD-1 monoclonal antibody in patients with locally advanced upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) which are ineligible for cisplatin. Tislelizumab, an anti-programmed death protein-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody, was engineered to minimize binding to FcγR on macrophages to abrogate antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a mechanism of T-cell clearance and potential resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. The safety, tolerability, and efficacy of tislelizumab in patients with PD-L1 positive urothelial carcinoma who progressed during/following platinum-containing therapy was proved in a phase 2 trial (CTR20170071). This trial focuses on the efficacy of Tislelizumab to induce pathological down-staging of locally advanced UTUC in neoadjuvant setting.
