Description:
The trial is open to patients who have metastatic renal cell carcinoma/urothelial (bladder)
carcinoma with at least 2 measurable sites of disease. All eligible patients will be randomly
assigned to immunotherapy(nivolumab/atezolizumab/pembrolizumab) versus immunotherapy
(nivolumab/atezolizumab/pembrolizumab) plus radiotherapy, 10 Gy x3 (conformally or by
intensity modulation radiation therapy/Image-guided radiation therapy (IMRT/IGRT) to
maximally spare normal tissue), to one of their measurable lesions.

Purpose
The trial is open to patients who have metastatic renal cell carcinoma/urothelial (bladder)
carcinoma with at least 2 measurable sites of disease. All eligible patients will be randomly
assigned to immunotherapy(nivolumab/atezolizumab/pembrolizumab) versus immunotherapy
(nivolumab/atezolizumab/pembrolizumab) plus radiotherapy, 10 Gy x3 (conformally or by
intensity modulation radiation therapy/Image-guided radiation therapy (IMRT/IGRT) to
maximally spare normal tissue), to one of their measurable lesions.
Detailed Description
The trial is open to patients who have metastatic renal cell carcinoma/urothelial (bladder)
carcinoma with at least 2 measurable sites of disease. All eligible patients will be randomly
assigned to immunotherapy(nivolumab/atezolizumab/pembrolizumab) versus immunotherapy
(nivolumab/atezolizumab/pembrolizumab) plus radiotherapy, 10 Gy x3 (conformally or by
IMRT/IGRT to maximally spare normal tissue), to one of their measurable lesions. For patients
assigned to the immunotherapy plus radiotherapy arm, immunotherapy treatment starts with the
first radiotherapy fraction. Nivolumab will be given every 2 weeks for patients with
metastatic renal cell cancer and atezolizumab/pembrolizumab will be given every 3 weeks for
patients with metastatic urothelial cancer. Patients will be re-imaged at 9 week (year 1) or
12 week (years 2-3) intervals and evaluated for response (defined as an objective response of
measurable metastatic sites outside the radiation field). This response will be evaluated
with CT scans in non-irradiated measurable metastatic sites per RECIST version 1.1. Patients
will continue to receive their respective immunotherapies for up to three years or until
disease progression or until a dose limiting toxicity is reached.
Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
Arm A - immunotherapy alone | Active Comparator | Patients with Renal Cell carcinoma will receive Nivolumab alone Days 1, 15, 29, 43 and 57.
Patients with Urothelial cancer will receive Atezolizumab or Pembrolizumab on Days 1, 22, 43 and 64. | - Nivolumab
- Atezolizumab
- Pembrolizumab
|
Arm B - Radiation & immunotherapy | Active Comparator | Radiation is given to one lesion, 30 Gy in 3 fractions of 10 Gy, every other day. On the day of radiation (Day 1) immunotherapy is administered and repeated on the scheduled days. | |
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document;
2. Any prior therapy is permitted except prior therapy with PD1/PDL1 inhibitor.
3. Histologic diagnosis of metastatic renal cell carcinoma or urothelial cancer;
4. Patients must have at least 2 distinct measurable metastatic sites at least 1 cm or
larger in their largest diameter per RECIST 1.1
5. Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined by initial laboratory
tests.
6. At least 2 weeks since last chemotherapy and 4 weeks since last immunotherapy
treatment.
7. Performance status Eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) 0-1
8. Men and women, ages > 18 years of age.
9. Life expectancy > 3 months
10. Stable brain metastases for at least 4 weeks and not steroid dependent
11. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be using an adequate method of
contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study and for up to 8 weeks after the
study in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized. Should a woman become
pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she is enrolled in this study, she should
inform her treating physician immediately.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patients having no lesions outside the field of radiation thus nullifying the ability
to measure an abscopal effect;
2. Any other malignancy from which the patient has been disease-free for less than 5
years, with the exception of adequately treated and cured basal or squamous cell skin
cancer, superficial bladder cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix;
3. Autoimmune/auto inflammatory disease: Patients with a history of inflammatory bowel
disease are excluded from this study as are patients with a history of symptomatic
disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic progressive sclerosis [scleroderma],
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, autoimmune vasculitis [e.g., Wegener's Granulomatosis];
4. Any underlying medical or psychiatric condition, which in the opinion of the
Investigator, will make the administration of study drug hazardous or obscure the
interpretation of adverse events (AEs), such as a condition associated with frequent
diarrhea;
5. Any non-oncology vaccine therapy used for prevention of infectious diseases (for up to
one month prior to or after any dose of PD-1/PDL-1 blocking antibody).
6. A history of prior treatment with PD-1/PDL-1blocking antibody;
7. Patients who have had immunotherapy within 4 weeks prior to entering the study.
8. Concomitant therapy with any of the following: interleukin -2 (IL-2), interferon or
other non-study immunotherapy regimens; cytotoxic chemotherapy; immunosuppressive
agents; other investigation therapies; or chronic use of systemic corticosteroids;
9. Patients undergoing therapy with other investigational agents or other chemotherapy
agents;
10. Women who:
1. are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method to avoid pregnancy for the
entire study period and for at least 8 weeks after cessation of study drug, or
2. have a positive pregnancy test at baseline, or
3. are pregnant or breastfeeding
11. Prisoners or subjects who are compulsorily detained (involuntarily incarcerated) for
treatment of either a psychiatric or physical (e.g., infectious) illness
