Filter by:Aim: to comprehensively evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative ECOG-PS scores and ASA scores in patients undergoing radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Methods: multicentered cohort study
Immunotherapy has been found to confer substantial survival benefits to the patients with higher mutation burdens, which become the first biomarker approved by FDA in urothelial carcinoma (UC). Nevertheless, among the patients with high mutation burdens, some still remained refractory to immunotherapy. The B7 family molecules have long been perceived as vital determinant of immune response and may define dominant molecular subsets associated with immunotherapeutic response. Simultaneously, our previous study (Eur J Cancer. 2022,171:133-142) unveiled the potential of B7-H4 as a candidate biomarker to refine the predictive capability of tumor mutation burden (TMB) in immunotherapeutic efficacy based on its significant correlation with TMB in MIBC. We hypothesized that the integration of B7 family molecules with TMB could better identify patients with better response to checkpoint blockade. In this retrospective study, a total of 1,084 UC patients from 5 independent cohorts were enrolled. We established the B7 Family Score (BFS) by the expression patterns of three B7 family members: PD-L1 (CD274), B7-H3 (CD276) and B7-H4 (VTCN1) based on protein and transcriptomic level respectively. We further investigated the correlation of BFS with genomic features and therapeutic response in UC. In addition, we integrated the BFS with tumor mutation burden (TMB) to better stratify the clinical benefit from PD-L1 blockade and platinum-based chemotherapy.
Early detection of bladder cancer (BCa) is considered an effective strategy to curb mortality from the disease. However, current urinary biomarkers have insufficient specificity to warrant BCa screening. Urine free glycosaminoglycan profiles (or GAGomes) are promising noninvasive biomarkers of cancer metabolism. In this study, samples are obtained from patients with BCa and controls to compare the glycosaminoglycan profiles between groups.
The study goal is to evaluate the effectiveness in clinical practice of Avelumab as first line maintenance therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma, who have not progressed after first line platinum-based treatment. Study is performed at national hospitals from approximately 22 different sites and expecting to recruit 120 patients. Patients understanding the nature of the study by providing their informed consent prior to participation. - Patients of both sexes diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma, stage IV disease before first line with carboplatin/cisplatin-based chemotherapy. No disease progression after four-six cycles of ChT according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor with a treatment free interval of 4-10 weeks before Avelumab initiation date. - Patients who started Avelumab as maintenance therapy in first line after 21/Jan./2021 and before 27/Apr./2022 (both dates included).
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the current treatment patterns, safety, and effects of the study medicine (Avelumab) for the treatment of urothelial carcinoma. This study is seeking Japanese participants who: - have urothelial cancer that has spread - are treated with Avelumab for maintenance We will study the experiences of people receiving avelumab. This helps us learn the current treatment patterns, safety, and effects of avelumab. Participants will take part in this study up to 10 months. During this time, they will have no study visits.
This study aims to demonstrate that home instillation of UGN-102 is a feasible alternative to instillation in a clinical setting, which might mitigate some of the challenges in the patient experience (logistical, expense, and comfort) when receiving treatment for low-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer at intermediate risk of recurrence (LG IR NMIBC).
Urothelial carcinoma is the ninth most common malignant neoplasm worldwide. nearly in all human tumors, actin filaments are involved in lamellopodia or cellular extensions. Cortactin is involved in fixing the actin assembly to enhance cellular penetration. Assessment of Cortactin expression in invasive and non-invasive urothelial carcinoma and recording any significant different expressions may have benefits in developing more effective anticancer chemotherapeutic agents.
The aim of this study is to determine if it is practical to use 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT in the staging and detection of localized and metastatic urothelial carcinoma or bladder cancer. The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of using 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CTas a new diagnostic and staging modality to detect urothelial carcinoma or bladder cancer.
Bladder cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous malignancy with dismal outcome.Despite treatment, the 5-year overall survival rates for MIBC are <50%, with many patients unresponsive or inapt, necessitating biomarkers to select those most likely to respond or fit for treatment
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.
