Chemotherapy Combined With Tislelizumab as Bladder Sparing Option for Patients With Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

Summary

This study is designed prospectively to investigate the safety, efficacy and feasibility of cisplatin-based chemotherapy combined with tislelizumab as bladder sparing treatment for patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) which are eligible for cisplatin. The patients that achieved clinical remission after 4 cycles of cisplatin/gemcitabine and tislelizumab, will receive tislelizumab maintenance therapy for a year or 13 cycles. 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 investigates the efficacy of cisplatin-based chemotherapy combined with Tislelizumab to induce clinical complete remission of muscle invasive bladder cancer and the feasibility to provide bladder sparing treatment for these patients.
