About this trial

This is a prospective cohort study to analyse the safety and efficacy of postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy versus surgery alone group of UTUC patients with T3-4 stages or lymph nodes metastasis(N+) status.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

1) Patients after radical nephroureterectomy with full-length nephroureterectomy and pathologically confirmed cancer of the renal pelvis or ureter, AJCC staging (8th edition) containing one of the following factors: pT3-4, pN+; 2) Patients with creatinine eGFR <60 min/L. or underlying disease refusing to tolerate chemotherapy.

Disqualifiers

1) Distant metastases already found at the time of surgery; non-R0 resected patients 2) History of pelvic and abdominal radiotherapy; history of inflammatory bowel disease; history of systemic chemotherapy; (3) Pregnant or breastfeeding women; or women of childbearing potential who are not using reliable contraception; (4) History of malignant tumour (except skin cancer that is not malignant melanoma and cervical cancer in situ, tumours that have been cured for more than 5 years) 5) weight loss > 10% within 6 months 6) Presence of active infections in those with pre-existing or co-existing bleeding disorders 7) clinically significant cardiac disease (e.g., hypertension controlled by medication, unstable angina pectoris, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class ≥ II congestive heart failure, unstable symptomatic arrhythmia, or class ≥ II peripheral vascular disease); 8) Psychological, family, and social factors leading to lack of informed consent.

Trial population

All pT3-4/N+ UTUC patients who were eligible for enrolment and signed the informed consent could be included in the study.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Immunotherapy+radiotherapy

    Combination product

    Adjuvant Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy drug of choice is tirilizumab, which has received national recommendations in metastatic uroepithelial cancer. Tirelizumab 200mg Q3w; the duration of immunotherapy is recommended for at least 1 year. Adjuvant radiotherapy can be given concurrently or sequentially with adjuvant immunotherapy; it is recommended that radiotherapy can be started within 4-6 weeks after surgery. Rotational intensity-modulated radiotherapy (VMAT), daily image-guided radiotherapy (Daily IGRT) techniques are used.

  • surveillance alone

    Other intervention

    Patients recieve surveillance alone without any adjuvant interventions until any disease progression endpoints occur.

Treatment groups

60 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Observation cohort1 intervention
Group B: Postoperative immunotherapy+radiotherapy1 intervention
