Trimodality therapy with or without adjuvant Durvalumab to treat patients with bladder cancer

EU CTIS ID: 2024-512502-26-00

What this study is testing

To determine whether durvalumab given after standard trimodality therapy improves disease-free survival when compared to surveillance alone in patients with T2 or more muscle-invasive bladder cancer

  • Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Histologic diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. Patients with mixed histology (including small cell) and urothelial carcinoma are eligible. Patients with pure small cell carcinoma will be excluded
  • All patients must have a tumour block from their primary tumour available and consent to release for correlative analyses
  • Patients have completed prior trimodality therapy (TMT) consisting of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatment prior to enrollment on the BL.13 study Patients should begin protocol treatment within 42 days after completion of TMT
  • Patient is able (i.e. sufficiently fluent) and willing to complete the quality of life questionnaires in either english, french or spanish
  • Patient consent must be appropriately obtained in accordance with applicable local and regulatory requirements
  • Patients must be accessible for treatment and follow-up. Patients registered on this trial must be treated and followed at the participating centre

You likely can't join if

  • Pre-existing medical conditions precluding treatment
  • Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) ≥ 470 msec in screening ECG or history of familial long QT syndrome
  • History of interstitial lung disease
  • Any active disease condition which would render the protocol treatment dangerous or impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol therapy
  • Any condition that does not permit compliance with the protocol
