About this trial
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled superiority study designed to evaluate whether the addition of pelvic lymph node dissection improves bladder-intact event-free survival in patients with cT2-3N0M0 bladder urothelial carcinoma receiving bladder-sparing treatment. Eligible patients with HER2 expression of IHC 2+ or higher who decline radical cystectomy will be randomized 1:1 to receive maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor followed by disitamab vedotin plus toripalimab with or without standardized pelvic lymph node dissection. The primary endpoint is the 2-year bladder-intact event-free survival rate. Secondary endpoints include clinical complete response, partial response, disease progression, overall survival, quality of life, safety, treatment cost, and exploratory biomarker analyses.
