Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Durvalumab + Tremelimumab

Arm Description

The treatment consisted of initial TUR of the tumor, with multiple random biopsies of normal-appearing bladder urothelium, followed by durvalumab 1500 mg i.v. plus tremelimumab 75 mg i.v., every 4 weeks for a total of 3 doses. Two weeks after the initiation of immunotherapy, normofractionated external-beam radiotherapy with high-energy photons will be started. Radiotherapy will be administered concurrently with immunotherapy at doses of 46 Gy to the minor pelvis and 64-66 Gy to the bladder.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Combined-modality treatment of localized muscle invasive bladder cancer including transurethral resection (TUR), radiotherapy and dual checkpoint inhibition immunotherapy could achieve pathological complete response in some patients. These patients could avoid to undergone radical surgery with radical cystectomy and preserve their bladder, without the side-effects associated with chemotherapy and surgery. This study has been design to determine the efficacy of durvalumab plus tremelimumab with concurrent radiotherapy in terms of pathological response rate in patients with localized muscle invasive bladder cancer treated with bladder preservation intent.
Detailed Description
The treatment consisted of initial TUR of the tumor, with multiple random biopsies of normal-appearing bladder urothelium, followed by durvalumab 1500 mg i.v. plus tremelimumab 75 mg i.v., every 4 weeks for a total of 3 doses. Two weeks after the initiation of immunotherapy, normofractionated external-beam radiotherapy with high-energy photons will be started. Radiotherapy will be administered concurrently with immunotherapy at doses of 46 Gy to the minor pelvis and 64-66 Gy to the bladder. Six weeks after the end of radiotherapy, ALL patients will undergo a new cystoscopy with biopsies of the tumor bed and all residual present lesions as an efficacy determination. In patients with persistent prominent inflammatory reaction at this moment, the cystoscopy can be performed 1-2 weeks later (6 to 8 weeks after the end of radiotherapy). Response is defined as an absence of invasive cancer at post immunotherapy biopsy (≤cT1). Patients with response to immunotherapy will be candidates to bladder preservation, whereas in those with residual muscle invasive tumor the possibility of salvage radical cystectomy must be evaluated. Patients developing an isolated bladder invasive relapse during follow-up will be also possible candidates to salvage cystectomy, whereas those developing a superficial relapse in the preserved bladder will be managed with TUR and intravesical BCG. Patients will be followed up every 3 months the first year, every 4 months the second year and every 6 months thereafter with abdomen and pelvis CT scan, Rx thorax, urine cytology. Additionally, the mandatory efficacy cystoscopy and bladder biopsy (6w post RT), other cystoscopy and bladder biopsy will be performed in case of detection abnormalities in the cytology or imaging studies. The study will be closed 2 years after the last patient inclusion.

Treatment
Study Phase
Phase 2
Interventional Study Model
Sequential Assignment
Model Description
The study will be conducted using a two-stage sequential design. Using the assumption that the treatment would be considered ineffective if it had a response proportion similar to radiotherapy alone (P0: 0.5) but would be of considerable interest if it had a response proportion of 70% of more (P1: 0.7), the sample size requirement is 12 patients for the first stage and 20 additional patients for the second stage. Six or more responses in the first stage were required for continuation to second stage accrual. The study was planned to have a type I error of 0.10 and a power of 80% in a one sided test.
