About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Check Point Inhibitor, Durvalumab (Medi4736) for Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) Refractory Urothelial Carcinoma in Situ (CIS) of the Bladder

The purpose of this study is to test if an experimental drug called Durvalumab (Medi4736) given by intravenous (IV) infusion is effective in treating carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the bladder that no longer responds to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and to collect information on the safety of these drugs and whether they cause any side effects.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DurvalumabDrug

    Also called Medi4736

    Durvalumab will be given every 4 weeks at 1500 mg/kg IV for total of 12 months/13 doses.

  • Cystoscopy with BiopsyProcedure or surgery

    Cystoscopy with biopsy and transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT) (if indicated) will be performed at baseline, month 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24. The month 6 and 24 cystoscopy will be done in the operating room with mapping biopsy. Rest of the cystoscopic exam with biopsy will be performed in the out-patient office setting and if clinically indicated will be repeated in the operating room. Participants will be off study if any of the biopsies document muscle invasive (T2 or above) urothelial carcinoma. Participants will also be off study if their month 6, 9, 12, 18 biopsies show persistent (month 6) or recurrent CIS or invasive (T1 or above) urothelial carcinoma. Otherwise, participants will remain on study until after the month 24 mapping biopsy.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Durvalumab Plus CystoscopyExperimentalDurvalumab: Fixed dose level IV infusion every 4 weeks for 13 study treatment cycles/infusions over 12 months/1 year. Cystoscopy with biopsy will be performed every 3 months to monitor the treatment response during this one year of treatment phase. It will be performed every 6 months during year 2 of the surveillance phase.
Receives: Drug: Durvalumab; Procedure: Cystoscopy with Biopsy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Complete Response Rate at 6 Months

    Complete Response Rate at month six based on the week 26 mapping biopsy in BCG refractory CIS urothelial bladder cancer. The absence of CIS of bladder on the mapping biopsies after pathological review would be considered complete response to treatment.

    Measured: 6 Months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Complete Response Rate at 24 Months

    Complete Response Rate at month 24 based on the week 104 mapping biopsy in BCG refractory CIS urothelial bladder cancer. The absence of CIS of bladder on the mapping biopsies after pathological review would be considered complete response to treatment.

    Measured: 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Durvalumab and Cystoscopy with Biopsy in people with Carcinoma in Situ of Bladder and Bladder Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 23 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jun 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete Response Rate at 6 Months (time frame: 6 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jul 2022.
