Read the detailed description
STUDY DESIGN:
Open, multicentre, phase II trial of atezolizumab with concurrent normofractionated radiotherapy in patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.
The bladder preserving therapy include combined modality therapy with:
STUDY TREATMENTS:
Investigational product (atezolizumab/Tecentriq ®):
- Route of administration: intravenous infusion.
- Duration of treatment: 16 weeks.
- Dosage: 1.200 mg intravenous every 3 weeks for a total of 6 doses. Atezolizumab is supplied as atezolizumab 1200 mg/20 mL vials (60 mg/mL) solution for intravenous infusion. After dilution, one mL of solution should contain approximately 4.4 mg of atezolizumab (1,200 mg/270 mL).
External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): radiation
- Duration of treatment: 6 weeks
- Dosage: 60 Gy of radiotherapy in 30 fractions overs 6 weeks at 2Gy/day
STUDY POPULATION:
Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with histologically confirmed diagnosis of muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, in clinical stages T2-T4a who are not candidates for radical cystectomy by medical reasons, refusal or patient´s choice.
A total of 39 patients are estimated to be included in the study.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary objective:
The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of atezolizumab concurrent with radiotherapy in terms of pathological complete response defined as a response of grade 5 according to Miller and Payne criteria in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated with bladder preservation intent.
Secondary objectives:
- To evaluate overall survival (OS).
- To evaluate disease specific survival (DSS).
- To evaluate disease free survival (DFS).
- To evaluate bladder intact disease-free survival (BIDFS).
- To calculate the number of patients with muscle invasive and non-muscle invasive local failure (LF).
- To determine the rate of distance metastases defined as the percentage of patients who develop metastases.
- To determine to the rate of patients with bladder preserved.
- To determine to the rate of immediate or late salvage cystectomy.
- The safety profile and tolerability of the combination of atezolizumab with concurrent radiotherapy.
Exploratory objectives:
- To determine the predictive role of the expression of PD-1 / PD-L1 and CD8 in terms of pCR, OS and DFS in bladder cancer patients treated with atezolizumab plus radiotherapy.
- The correlation between the levels of IFN-γ, interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 18 (IL-18), or ITAC (also called CXCL11 or IP-9) and the efficacy parameters (pCR, OS and DFS) of the treatment with atezolizumab plus radiotherapy.
STUDY VISITS AND PROCEDURES:
The study includes the following visits:
- Screening: within the 28 days prior to starting the study treatment.
- Baseline visit: the first day of cycle 1
- Visits over the treatment period (16 weeks ± 7 days): from administration of the first dose of the study treatment to the administration of the last dose of atezolizumab or withdrawal from the treatment. Treatment will consist of the administration of atezolizumab at 1,200 mg intravenous every 3 weeks for 6 cycles
- Post-treatment follow-up: includes the biopsy and safety visit 1-2 months after the last dose of atezolizumab and a subsequent 5 years follow-up period after.
- End of study visit/ Early termination: In patients who end the study follow-up or prematurely withdraw from the study

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Atezolizumab Injection [Tecentriq] and External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) in people with Bladder Cancer, run by Spanish Oncology Genito-Urinary Group at 10 sites in Spain.
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 13 inclusion and 22 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 10 sites in Spain. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Pathological complete response (time frame: After the end of the treatment (16 weeks)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04186013, which also lists 52 linked publications.
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 26 Oct 2022.
