Filter by:Open, multicentre, phase II trial of atezolizumab with concurrent normofractionated radiotherapy in patients with localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated with a selective multimodality bladder conservative approach.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate recurrence-free survival (RFS) in participants treated with erdafitinib vs Investigator's Choice, for participants with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who harbor fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) mutations or fusions, and who recurred after bacillus calmette-guerin (BCG) therapy.
Vesical Imaging-Reporting And Data System (VI-RADS) is proposed for predicting muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) using multi-parametric MRI. However, No validation study on VI-RADS has been reported yet. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values on diffusion-weighted MRI are reportedly significantly lower in MIBC than those in non-MIBC(NMIBC).
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (sasanlimab) in people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. This study is seeking participants whose bladder cancer is still in early stages, has not spread outside of the bladder, has been removed with surgery, and is high risk (Part A) or was previously treated with BCG (Bacillus Calmette Guerin), a standard treatment for bladder cancer (Part B). In Part A (enrollment closed), each participant was assigned to one of three study treatment groups. - One group is given sasanlimab and BCG at the study clinic. - The second group is given sasanlimab and BCG at the study clinic. This group will receive BCG for the first six weeks only. - The third group is given BCG only and will not receive sasanlimab. In Part B of the study, each new participant will be assigned to a study treatment group based on the type of their bladder tumor. - Both groups will be given sasanlimab at the study clinic. On August 31, 2022, the Sponsor announced the discontinuation of enrollment to Part B. The decision to discontinue enrollment to Part B was not made for safety reasons.
The purpose of the study is to establish the clinical performance and utility of the miR Sentinel™ BCa Test, a urine exosome-based diagnostic test, as an aid in diagnosing bladder cancer. Male and female participants presenting with micro- or macro-hematuria who are undergoing cystoscopy for diagnosis of bladder cancer will be eligible for the study. Urine samples will be collected at the time of the first presentation, and the miR Sentinel™ BCa Score determined and compared to the results of cystoscopy. Participants with no evidence of cancer following cystoscopy will be designated cancer-free, while those participants with a positive cystoscopy and histopathological evidence of cancer will be designated as having bladder cancer. Participants with a positive cystoscopy who subsequently undergo TURBT will be eligible to continue in the study. Urine samples will be collected at each follow up visit for up to three years, and the miR Sentinal™ BCR Score will be determined and compared to the results of surveillance cystoscopy.
Patients with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) are usually managed by transurethral resection of their bladder tumor (TURBT) alone plus additional intravesical therapy to deliver high local concentrations of a therapeutic agent within the bladder, potentially destroying viable tumor cells that remain following TURBT. Although the exact mechanism of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) antitumor action is unknown, its intravesical instillation triggers a variety of local immune responses, which appear to correlate with antitumor activity. BCG induction plus maintenance is the current, guideline-recommended standard of care for high-risk NMIBC. Both recent evidence and guidelines suggest that full-dose BCG maintenance after the first BCG dose of induction course as used in the SWOG 8507 and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) 30911 and 30962 trials, is the most appropriate maintenance schedule. High-risk NMIBC patients following adequate treatment have a recurrence rate at 1 and 2 years of 25 and 30% respectively after treatment with the current standard (BCG), which is clearly unsatisfactory. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a surface glycoprotein that functions as an inhibitor of T-cells and plays a crucial role in suppression of cellular immune response. It is implicated in tumor immune escape by inducing apoptosis of activated antigen-specific CD8 T-cells, impairing cytokine production and diminishing the toxicity of activated T-cells. PD-L1 expression by immunohistochemistry using the Ventana SP142 assay on tumor-infiltrating immune cell (IC) status defined by the percentage of PD-L1 positive ICs: IC0 (<1%); IC1 (≥1% but<5%); and IC2/3 (≥5%PD-L1) has been demonstrated to be higher (IC2/3) in resection and TURBT specimens versus biopsies from primary lesions or metastatic sites. In patients with metastatic bladder cancer, treatment with the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab (1200 mg, every 3 weeks) resulted in objective response rates of 26% in the IC2/3 group, 18% in the IC1/2/3 group and 15% in all patients. The median overall survival was 11.4 months in the IC2/3 group, 8.8 months in the IC1/2/3, and 7.9 months in all patients. Grade 3-4 related treatment-related adverse events occurred in 16% and grade 3-4 immune-mediated adverse events occurred in 5% of treated patients. In murine models with invasive bladder cancer, anti-PD-1 plus CpG has shown to increase survival in mice, with anti-PD-1 plus CpG being superior to either agent alone. Taken together, these results confirmed the clinical activity of atezolizumab in metastatic bladder cancer, which could be beneficial in patients with NMIBC in combination with standard approaches such as BCG.
In view of sparse data of precise definition, risk factors, natural history and management of bladder perforation following Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT). We aim to correlate the relation between the site, depth and extent of resection with bladder perforation. Also, correlation between vertical depth, horizontal extent of resection and recurrence and progression of tumor
The study aims to evaluate the potential clinical impact of a highly sensitive urinary marker, the Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor, regarding possible reduction in number of flexible cystoscopies in an outpatient setting without decreasing recurrence-free survival or increasing risk of progression.
Bladder cancer is the seventh cause of cancer mortality in France. Overall survival is poor, between 45 and 50% at 5 years. Optimal staging of lymph nodes and metastasis is crucial for treatment decision of muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Guidelines do not recommend FDG-Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Computed Tomography (CT), but rather CT for lymph node and metastatic staging, despite its low accuracy. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing PET CT for localized MIBC in two centers, to help define the utility of PET CT in this setting.
Bladder cancer is a common disease with high rates of mortality, especially at advanced stages. Neo-adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical cystectomy is considered standard of care for patients with muscle invasive disease, as NAC improves surgical outcomes in these patients. However, some patients are ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy due to other medical issues. Although a combination of carboplatin and gemcitabine has been used with limited success, most patients proceed directly to cystectomy without realizing the potential survival benefit afforded by NAC. Intravenous ascorbate (vitamin C) administration (IVC) has been shown to improve both carboplatin and gemcitabine-based therapy in other models. This trial will add IVC to gemcitabine/carboplatin chemotherapy to evaluate whether co-treatment will increase therapeutic efficacy.
