A Study of Atezolizumab Versus Placebo as Adjuvant Therapy in Participants With High-risk Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC) Who Are ctDNA Positive Following Cystectomy

This is a global Phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant treatment with atezolizumab compared with placebo in participants with MIBC who are circulating tumour deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) positive and are at high risk for recurrence following cystectomy.

A Study to Find Out if Enfortumab Vedotin Given With Pembrolizumab Helps People With Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer Keep Their Bladder

People with a type of bladder cancer called muscle-invasive bladder cancer have cancer that has spread into the muscle wall of the bladder. The standard treatment is to have chemotherapy, followed by surgery to completely remove the bladder. This has a significant impact on people with long-term life-altering changes. There are also limited options for people who cannot have chemotherapy or who do not want their bladder removed. Studies show that enfortumab vedotin, when given with pembrolizumab, can help people with advanced bladder cancer. This treatment has also worked well for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who can't receive chemotherapy when it was given before and after bladder-removal surgery. However, some people can't have or won't have this surgery. There is still a need for new treatments that let people keep their bladder. This is especially important for people who respond well to the enfortumab vedotin, when given with pembrolizumab, and may benefit from continuing this study treatment instead of having surgery. The main aims of this study are to check how many people continue to respond well to enfortumab vedotin with pembrolizumab and how many people have their bladder intact after 2 years. People in this study will be adults who have muscle-invasive bladder cancer and are able to have surgery to remove the bladder. People cannot take part if they have nerve damage (sensory or motor neuropathy), have had certain other cancers, have diabetes that is not under control, or have had a transplant. People will receive infusions of enfortumab vedotin on the 1st and 8th day of 3-week (21-day) cycles. They will also receive pembrolizumab on the 1st day of every 3-week cycle. There will be safety checks at each visit with checks of the tumors at some visits. The doctors will continue to check for medical problems throughout the study. People will continue to receive study treatment unless their cancer doesn't improve after 9 cycles of study treatment, or until their cancer gets worse, they can't tolerate the study treatment, they start other cancer treatment, they or the doctor decides the person should stop receiving study treatment, or sadly they pass away. People's whose cancer gets worse or doesn't improve after 9 cycles may need bladder surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. People will visit the clinic after they stop their study treatment, in which they will be asked about any medical problems and have a health check. After this, people will continue to have scans every 12 weeks (3 months) for the first 2 years until their cancer gets worse. After this, if their cancer doesn't get worse, they will continue to have scans every 24 weeks (6 months) for up to 5 years to check for any changes in their cancer. After people's cancer gets worse, they won't have any more scans but will have telephone health checks every 3 months.

Remodeling of MHC-related Immune Microenvironment in MIBC After Neoadjuvant Therapy

In this study, the relevant biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with MIBC were further explored. Meanwhile, the dynamic molecular monitoring of neoadjuvant therapy in MIBC patients and the treatment guidance based on the MHC tumor immune microenvironment were also explored to select the treatment plan based on relevant biomarkers for subsequent immunotherapy in MIBC patients.

Multi-parametric MRI in Patients Suspected for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: a New Local Staging Paradigm

A two-arm multicenter randomised controlled trial, comparing progression free survival, time to definitive treatment and cost-effectiveness of the standard of care (TURBT) and mpMRI followed by same-day cystoscopic bladder biopsy for diagnosis of patients with suspicion of muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Erdafitinib Monotherapy or in Combination With Cetrelimab in Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer Patients With Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR ) Gene Alterations

Erdafitinib (ERDA) alone or in combination with cetrelimab (CET) as neoadjuvant treatment (prior to surgery) in subjects with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) whose tumours express Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR )gene alterations and are ineligible for or refuse cisplatin based neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Disitamab Vedotin Combined With Ivonescimab in Cisplatin-Ineligible Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

This is a single-arm, open-label, Phase Ib/II clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Disitamab Vedotin combined with Ivonescimab in the perioperative treatment of cisplatin-ineligible patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The study will enroll MIBC patients scheduled for radical cystectomy who have not received prior immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or biological therapy, except for cisplatin chemotherapy. The trial will consist of a neoadjuvant treatment phase (Disitamab Vedotin and Ivonescimab), followed by surgery and an adjuvant treatment phase. Primary efficacy endpoints include the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, while secondary endpoints include disease-free survival, recurrence-free survival, overall survival, and clinical objective response rate. Safety will be monitored throughout the study, and biomarker testing (HER2 and PD-L1) will be conducted to assess treatment efficacy. The study aims to explore the potential of this combination therapy in improving outcomes for MIBC patients.

Adjuvant Sacituzumab Govitecan and Nivolumab in Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma At High-Risk Recurrence

This is a phase 2 study, single-arm study of adjuvant combination therapy with Sacituzumab Govitecan and Nivolumab in patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, ureter, or upper tract, who are high risk for cancer recurrence post curative-intent surgery based on surgical pathology.

Tetra-modality Bladder Preservation Strategies in Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer: TURBT+ Chemo/Immunotherapy+ Radiation Therapy+ Maintenance Immunotherapy vs. W&W

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of adding the immunotherapy Avelumab as a fourth component, alongside tumor removal, chemotherapy, and radiation, to increase the chance of preserving the bladder in the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Prediction of Therapeutic Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Patients Using Spatial Transcriptomics

Although neoadjuvant chemotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer has significantly improved oncological outcomes, approximately 50% of patients do not respond to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which has adverse effects on patients by causing treatment toxicity and surgical delays. Therefore, treatment tailored specifically to the individual patient based on the genetic and/or molecular profile of the patient is urgently needed. Among patients scheduled for neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the investigators should differentiate between patients who will be highly effective with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and those who will not, and preferentially select other treatments including radical cystectomy in the patients with high probability of failure to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However, there is no standard which patients would benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This study plans to predict treatment response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer by analyzing genetic and molecular profiles of tumor tissues obtained through transurethral bladder tumor resection.

Multi-parametric MRI in Patients of Bladder Cancer

Accurate preoperative detection of muscle-invasive bladder cancer remains a clinical challenge. The investigators aimed to develop and validate a knowledge-guided causal diagnostic network for the detection of muscle-invasive bladder cancer with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).
