New combo therapy shows promise in bladder cancer fight

NCT ID NCT03528694

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard BCG treatment helps keep high-risk bladder cancer from coming back. About 1,000 adults with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who have not had BCG before will receive either the combination or BCG alone. The main goal is to see if the combination extends the time patients remain cancer-free.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: For inclusion in the study, patients should fulfill the following criteria: * Aged at least 18 years * BCG-naïve (patients who have not received prior intravesical BCG or who previously received but stopped BCG more than 3 years before study entry are eligible) * Local histological confirmation (based on pathology report) of high-risk transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium of the urinary bladder confined to the mucosa or submucosa. A high risk tumor is defined as one of the following * T1 tumor * High grade/ G3 tumor * CIS * Multiple and recurrent and large (with diameter of largest tumor ≥3 cm) tumors (all conditions must be met in this point) * Complete resection of all Ta/T1 papillary disease prior to randomization, with the TURBT removing high-risk NMIBC performed not more than 4 months before randomization in the study. Patients with residual CIS after TURBT are eligible * No prior radiotherapy for bladder cancer * No prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy of cancer including, but not limited to, other anti CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and anti-programmed cell death ligand 2 antibodies. Patients who have been treated with anticancer vaccines will be excluded Exclusion Criteria: Patients should not enter the study if any of the following exclusion criteria are fulfilled: * Evidence of muscle-invasive, locally advanced, metastatic, and/or extra vesical bladder cancer (ie, T2, T3, T4, and / or stage IV) * Concurrent extravesical (ie, urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis), non-muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium * Previous investigational product (IP) assignment in the present study * Any concurrent chemotherapy, IP, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for noncancer related conditions (eg, hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable. Chemotherapy for previous instances of NMIBC is acceptable. * Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease \[eg, colitis or Crohn's disease\], diverticulitis \[with the exception of diverticulosis\], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome \[granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc\]). The following are exceptions to this criterion: * Patients with vitiligo or alopecia * Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement * Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy * Patients without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the Study Physician * Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone * History of another primary malignancy except for * Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease ≥ 2 years before the first dose of IP and of low potential risk for recurrence during the study period * Adequately treated nonmelanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna withoutevidence of disease * Adequately treated CIS without evidence of disease * Prostate cancer (tumor/node/metastasis stage) of stage ≤ T2cN0M0 without biochemical recurrence or progression that in the opinion of the Investigator does not require active intervention * Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of durvalumab. The following are exceptions to this criterion: * Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (eg, intra articular injection) * Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent * Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (eg, computed tomography \[CT\] scan premedication)
