A Study of Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy Compared to Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy Plus MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) Immunotherapy for Bladder Cancer Which Has Spread to the Lymph Nodes (The INSPIRE Study)

NCT04216290

Description:

This phase II trial studies the benefit of adding an immunotherapy drug called MEDI4736 (durvalumab) to standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating bladder cancer which has spread to the lymph nodes. Drugs used in standard chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with durvalumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy with the addition of durvalumab may work better in helping tumors respond to treatment compared to chemotherapy and radiation therapy alone. Patients with limited regional lymph node involvement may benefit from attempt at bladder preservation, and use of immunotherapy and systemic chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To compare the clinical complete response rate (cCR) after chemoradiotherapy (chemoRT)
      with or without MEDI4736 (durvalumab) in node-positive bladder cancer patients.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To compare the toxicity profile in both arms using the Common Terminology Criteria for
      Adverse Events (CTCAE).

      II. To estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) in both arms. III. To estimate overall
      survival (OS) post randomization in both arms. IV. To estimate the bladder intact event free
      survival (BIEFS) in both arms. V. To estimate the metastasis free survival (MFS) in both
      arms. VI. To estimate bladder cancer specific survival in both arms. VII. To estimate the
      complete clinical response duration in both arms. VIII. To estimate salvage cystectomy rates
      in both arms.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

      I. Planned subgroup analyses for clinical outcome (clinical complete response [CR] rate post
      chemoRT+/- MEDI4736 [durvalumab], MFS, OS, PFS) based on stratification factors.

      TRANSLATIONAL OBJECTIVE:

      I. To collect and bank tumor tissue and blood specimens at pre-and post-treatment with
      chemoRT +/- MEDI4736 to determine predictive or prognostic markers.

      OUTLINE:

      STEP 1 - REGISTRATION: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

      ARM A: Patients registered after completion of >= 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy proceed
      to Step 2 - Randomization.

      ARM B: Chemotherapy naive patients receive 1 of 4 chemotherapy regimens: gemcitabine
      hydrochloride intravenously (IV) over 30-60 minutes on days 1 and 8 every 21 days for 3
      cycles; carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over
      30-60 minutes on days 1 and 8 every 21 days for 3 cycles; gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over
      30-60 minutes on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin IV 30-60 minutes on day 1 every 21 days for 3
      cycles; or methotrexate IV over 3 minutes, vinblastine sulfate IV over 3 minutes, doxorubicin
      hydrochloride IV over 5 minutes, and cisplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 every 14 days
      for 3 cycles. Cycles repeat in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      STEP 2 - RANDOMIZATION: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

      ARM C: Patients undergo radiation therapy for 6.5-8 weeks. Beginning 4 days before or after
      starting radiation therapy, patients receive durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Cycles
      repeat every 21 days for 3 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
      toxicity. Beginning 4 days before or after starting radiation therapy, patients also receive
      gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30-60 minutes twice weekly for 6 weeks; cisplatin IV over
      30-60 minutes for 6 weeks; or mitomycin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of radiation and
      fluorouracil IV on days 1-5 and 16-20 of radiation in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM D: Patients undergo radiation therapy for 6.5-8 weeks. Beginning 4 days before or after
      starting radiation therapy, patients also receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30-60
      minutes twice weekly for 6 weeks; cisplatin IV over 30-60 minutes for 6 weeks; or mitomycin
      IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of radiation and fluorouracil IV on days 1-5 and 16-20 of
      radiation in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      STEP 3 - REGISTRATION (POST CONCURRENT CHEMORT +/- DURVALUMAB): Patients are assigned to 1 of
      2 arms.

      ARM E: Patients previously randomized to Arm C (chemoradiation and durvalumab) who achieve
      clinical CR or clinical benefit receive durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat
      every 28 days for 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM F: Patients previously randomized to Arm D who achieve clinical CR or clinical benefit,
      or patients previously randomized to Arm C with no clinical CR or clinical benefit undergo
      observation.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 12 weeks for 1 year,
      every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually for 1 year.

                -  Patient must undergo selection of concurrent chemotherapy regimen
      
                -  Patient must agree to undergo CT simulation and treatment planning within two days of
                   randomization. If this is the first case registered at the site, then a pre-treatment
                   radiation therapy (RT) review will be required and will take up to 3 business days.
                   The patient cannot start radiation treatment prior to successful completion of this
                   pre-treatment review. Therefore, careful planning is necessary to meet the deadline of
                   starting radiation within 15 business days of randomization and within 12 weeks of the
                   end of induction chemotherapy

                     -  All patients of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study
                        within 14 days prior to registration to rule out pregnancy
      
                     -  A patient of childbearing potential is defined as any patient, regardless of
                        sexual orientation or whether they have undergone tubal ligation, who meets the

                        a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 3) has not been naturally

                   days prior to randomization. Actual body weight, not ideal body weight, must be used
                   in the calculation

                   ensure recovery to at least grade 2 or lower prior to starting adjuvant therapy.
                   However patients with MEDI4736 (durvalumab) related AEs that require permanent
