About this trial

This study evaluates Patient-derived Tumor-like Cell Clusters (PTC)-guided individualized neoadjuvant therapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are candidates for radical cystectomy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histologically confirmed muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, with clinical stage cT2-4aN0M0.

Medically suitable for radical cystectomy as assessed by the multidisciplinary team.

Expected survival of at least 18 months.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min.

Disqualifiers

Non-urothelial carcinoma histology, or mixed histology with a predominant non-urothelial component, such as small cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma.

Evidence of distant metastatic disease on imaging.

Uncontrolled or clinically significant comorbid illness, including but not limited to uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, clinically significant arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease, severe chronic gastrointestinal disease associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric/social conditions that may limit compliance or increase study risk.

Known hypersensitivity or allergy to any study treatment, or history of autoimmune disease.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • PTC guided individualized neoadjuvant therapy

    Drug

    Fresh tumor tissue will be collected before neoadjuvant treatment to generate Patient-derived Tumor-like Cell Clusters (PTC) for ex vivo drug sensitivity testing. Based on the PTC results, each participant will receive an individualized neoadjuvant regimen selected from gemcitabine plus cisplatin, disitamab vedotin (RC48), enfortumab vedotin, toripalimab, or their protocol-defined combinations. Treatment will be administered for up to 4 cycles before radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pathological Complete Response (pCR) Rate

Pathological complete response is defined as the proportion of participants with no residual viable tumor in the bladder and no pathological lymph node involvement, defined as ypT0N0, based on pathological assessment of surgical specimens obtained after radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection.

Time frame
immediately evaluated after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Pathological Downstaging (pDS) Rate

Pathological downstaging is defined as the proportion of participants with pathological stage lower than ypT2N0, including ypT0N0, based on surgical pathology after radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection.

Time frame
immediately evaluated after surgery
2

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

Progression-free survival is defined as the time from enrollment to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
From enrollment until disease progression or death, assessed up to 3 years.
3

Overall Survival (OS)

Overall survival is defined as the time from enrollment to death from any cause.

Time frame
From enrollment until death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years.
4

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

Treatment-emergent adverse events are defined as adverse events occurring after initiation of study treatment, assessed according to CTCAE version 5.0.

Time frame
From the first dose of neoadjuvant therapy until the end of safety follow-up, assessed up to 6 months after enrollment.
