About this study

Official title: Trials of Primary Excision Combined With Preoperative Neoadjuvant Therapy and Adjuvant Therapy Was Used as a First-line Comprehensive Therapy for Oligometastasis of Urothelial Carcinoma(UC).

treatment of primary focal resection plus lymph node dissection combined with chemotherapy and anti-programmed cell death 1(PD-1) for Oligometastasis of urothelial carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed to demonstrate that Whether the perioperative comprehensive treatment of primary focal resection plus lymph node dissection combined with chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 can prolong the overall survival of patients, narrow the range of metastatic lesions and improve the quality of life of patients.

Compared with patients with extensive metastasis, 2-year tumor-specific survival and overall survival of patients with oligometastatic bladder cancer were significantly increased (53.3% vs 16.1%);(51.9% vs. 15.4%).Gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) regimen has been shown to bring clinical benefits in neoadjuvant therapy of metastatic UC(urothelial carcinoma).

PD-1 inhibitors have been widely used in urothelial carcinoma in recent years, and positive data have been obtained in both advanced patients and neoadjuvant patients.

If successful in this trial, it will serve to provide a therapeutic alternative for this patient who have oligometastasis of urothelial carcinoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing primary focal resection plus lymph node dissection, Tislelizumab and Gemcitabine plus cisplatin in people with Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma, run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 (ypT0N0) (time frame: From treatment to surgery). 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 NCT04570410, which also lists 8 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 5 Aug 2025.
