E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To investigate the response rate and oncological outcome of systemic immunotherapy administered at the time of biochemical relapse (ctDNA positive test) in Study Subjects who have undergone NAC followed by radical cystectomy because of MIBC. Long term survival of Study Subjects with positive ctDNA treated with immunotherapy will be compared to available historical data from clinical immunotherapy trials where Study Subjects are treated at the time of recurrence diagnosed by conventional CT routine follow-up. |
Vi vil undersøge hvor effektiv immunterapi er til patienter med tilbagefald af muskel-invasiv kræft i urinblæren efter operation forudgået af neoadjuverende kemoterapi, hvis behandlingen påbegyndes på tidspunktet for påvisning af kræft-arvemasse i blodprøver (ctDNA). Effektiviteten vil blive sammenlignet med den effekt man kender fra tidligere studier, hvor immunterapien først gives ved synligt tilbagefald på CT-skanning. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Complete response (CR) after treatment with investigational agent initiated by ctDNA positive status after radical cystectomy (with or without concomitant visible metastases on CT). Data will be compared to available historical data on response to PD-1 / PD-L1 targeted agents. CR in the current study is defined as ctDNA negative status in the last plasma samples taken during IO treatment combined with negative imaging (CT) at the same time point after treatment. Thus, any metastasis visible on CT at the time of treatment initiation should undergo complete response. In Study Subjects without visible metastasis on CT at the time of treatment, initiation should result in unchanged status on CT. |
Fuldendt respons (FR) efter behandling med den undersøgte lægemiddel, der blev påbegyndt ved ctDNA-positiv status efter radikal cystektomi (med eller uden samtidig synlige metastaser på CT). Data vil blive sammenlignet med tilgængelige historiske data om respons på PD-1 / PD-L1-målrettede midler. FR i den aktuelle undersøgelse er defineret som ctDNA-negativ status i de seneste plasmaprøver taget under IO-behandling kombineret med negativ billedbehandling (CT) på samme tidspunkt efter behandlingen. Således bør enhver metastase synlig på CT ved behandlingsstart gennemgå fuldstændig respons. Hos undersøgelsesdeltagere uden synlige metastaser på CT ved behandlingstidspunktet bør der opnås uændret status på CT. |
