Novel treatments and trial designs remain a high priority for bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients.
To evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of anti-PD-L1 directed therapy with durvalumab (D), durvalumab plus BCG (D + BCG), and durvalumab plus external beam radiation therapy (D + EBRT).
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A multicenter phase 1 trial was conducted at community and academic sites.
Patients received 1120 mg of D intravenously every 3 wk for eight cycles. D + BCG patients also received full-dose intravesical BCG weekly for 6 wk with BCG maintenance recommended. D + EBRT patients received concurrent EBRT (6 Gy × 3 in cycle 1 only).
Post-treatment cystoscopy and urine cytology were performed at 3 and 6 -mo, with bladder biopsies required at the 6-mo evaluation. The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for each regimen was the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included toxicity profiles and complete response (CR) rates.
Twenty-eight patients were treated in the D (n = 3), D + BCG (n = 13), and D + EBRT (n = 12) cohorts. Full-dose D, full-dose BCG, and 6 Gy fractions × 3 were determined as the RP2Ds. One patient (4%) experienced a grade 3 dose limiting toxicity event of autoimmune hepatitis. The 3-mo CR occurred in 64% of all patients and in 33%, 85%, and 50% within the D, D + BCG, and D + EBRT cohorts, respectively. Twelve-month CRs were achieved in 46% of all patients and in 73% of D + BCG and 33% of D + EBRT patients.
D combined with intravesical BCG or EBRT proved feasible and safe in BCG-unresponsive NMIBC patients. Encouraging preliminary efficacy justifies further study of combination therapy approaches.
Durvalumab combination therapy can be safely administered to non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients with the goal of increasing durable response rates.
对于卡介苗(BCG)无反应的非肌层浸润性膀胱癌(NMIBC)患者而言,新型治疗方法和试验设计仍然是重中之重。
评估度伐利尤单抗(D)、度伐利尤单抗联合卡介苗(D + BCG)以及度伐利尤单抗联合体外束放射治疗(D + EBRT)的抗程序性死亡受体1配体(PD-L1)导向治疗的安全性和初步疗效。
设计、地点和参与者:在社区和学术机构开展了一项多中心1期试验。
患者每3周静脉注射1120 mg的D,共8个周期。D + BCG组患者还需每周接受一次全剂量膀胱内卡介苗灌注,持续6周,并建议进行卡介苗维持治疗。D + EBRT组患者仅在第1周期接受同步体外束放射治疗(6 Gy×3)。
在治疗后3个月和6个月进行膀胱镜检查和尿液细胞学检查,6个月评估时需要进行膀胱活检。每种治疗方案的推荐2期剂量(RP2D)为主要终点。次要终点包括毒性特征和完全缓解(CR)率。
28例患者分别接受了D组(n = 3)、D + BCG组(n = 13)和D + EBRT组(n = 12)的治疗。全剂量D、全剂量卡介苗和6 Gy×3被确定为RP2D。1例患者(4%)发生了3级剂量限制性毒性事件,即自身免疫性肝炎。3个月时,所有患者的CR率为64%,D组、D + BCG组和D + EBRT组的CR率分别为33%、85%和50%。所有患者的12个月CR率为46%,D + BCG组和D + EBRT组分别为73%和33%。
对于卡介苗无反应的NMIBC患者,D联合膀胱内卡介苗或体外束放射治疗被证明是可行且安全的。令人鼓舞的初步疗效证明进一步研究联合治疗方法是合理的。
度伐利尤单抗联合治疗可以安全地应用于非肌层浸润性膀胱癌患者,目标是提高持久缓解率。
