Abstract 3369
Background
Neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy (NAC) is the standard of care in non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). However, 60-75% patients have residual tumor after neoadjuvant cisplatin-gemcitabin or ddMVAC regimen. Pathological complete response (pCR) after NAC is correlated with overall survival (OS). Based on the overall response rate observed in the metastatic setting, ddMVAC is the most commonly used NAC regimen in Europe in urothelial carcinoma (UC) in fit patients. The emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) in the metastatic setting raises the question if the combination chemo plus ICI could increase the pCR rate.
Trial design
NEMIO is a French open-label randomized phase II trial assessing in the neoadjuvant setting the combination ddMVAC plus durvalumab (D) alone or in combination with tremelimumab (T): 4 cycles of ddMVAC every 2 weeks + 2 cycles of D (1500 mg) +/- T (75 mg) every 4 weeks. Cystectomy is performed 4-8 weeks after the last dose of ddMVAC. As no safety data are available on the ICI plus ddMVAC combination, 6 pts will be included in each arm in a safety run-in cohort to evaluate the toxicity rate of the 2 regimens. Each arm will be expanded to a maximum of 60 pts according to a Bayesian stopping rule based on grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events (G 3/4 TRAE). The primary endpoint of the safety run-in phase will be the rate of G3/4 TRAE. The primary endpoint of the phase II will be the pCR rate and G3/4 TRAE. We hypothesized that pCR after ddMVAC + D +/- T will be > or = 45%. Exploratory endpoints will include biomarkers of response and resistance to the combo. Molecular analysis will be conducted on tumor, blood (ctDNA) and urine samples (uDNA). Immunological and metabolomics profile will also be analyzed. Seven patients have yet been enrolled since December 2018 from the 10 French participating centers and we expect the recruitment to be completed in 2021.
