About this study

Official title: A Single-Arm, Open-Label, Multicenter Pilot Study:Rutin Combined With Tislelizumab and GC (Gemcitabine and Cisplatin) for Platinum-refractory Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

This trial aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and biological mechanisms of rutin combined with tislelizumab and GC(Gemcitabine and Cisplatin) in platinum-refractory muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients. Key research questions include:

  1. Whether rutin regulates epigenetic mechanisms in tumor cells from platinum-refractory bladder cancer patients and modulates the tumor immune microenvironment.
  2. Evaluating the safety and adverse events of the combination treatment in platinum-refractory bladder cancer patients.
  3. Assessing the disease control rate in platinum-refractory bladder cancer patients receiving this therapy.

Patients with MIBC who exhibit no response (stable disease or progressive disease) after two cycles of neoadjuvant GC chemotherapy will receive two cycles of rutin combined with tislelizumab and GC. Safety and adverse events will be assessed after each cycle of combinational treatment. Therapeutic response will be evaluated by contrast-enhanced MRI, and surgical decisions (transurethral resection, partial cystectomy, or radical cystectomy) will be made by two senior urologists. Epigenetic alterations and the changes in immune microenvironment will be analyzed post-treatment.

Being tested
Rutin, Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, Tislelizumab

Receives: Drug: Rutin; Drug: Gemcitabine, Cisplatin; Drug: Tislelizumab

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor microenvironment

    Immune microenvironment and epigenetic alterations in bladder tumors, including immune cell components.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Safety and adverse events

    The description of adverse events will be coded according to MedDRA terminology and graded according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks

  2. Objective remission rate

    The proportion of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) after treatment was calculated according to established response evaluation criteria (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST], version 1.1).

    Definitions:

    CR (Complete Response): Disappearance of all target lesions with no new lesions.

    PR (Partial Response): ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions. SD (Stable Disease): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD.

    PD (Progressive Disease): ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and/or appearance of new lesions

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rutin, Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and Tislelizumab in people with Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing 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 5 inclusion and 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Contact Xin Gou, Professor (0086+13650518875, cymnk@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tumor microenvironment (time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks). 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 10 Apr 2025.
