About this trial

The Phase IIIb NIAGARA-2 study aims to expand on the data from the Phase III NIAGARA study by investigating perioperative durvalumab in combination with investigator-selected cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (either ddMVAC or gemcitabine/cisplatin) in a clinical practice setting.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participants with clinical tumour stage T2-T4aN0/1M0 or T1N1M0 with transitional or mixed transitional cell histology

Patients must be planning to undergo radical cystectomy

Patients who have not received prior systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy for treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer

ECOG performance status of 0 or 1

Disqualifiers

Evidence of lymph node (N2-N3) or metastatic (M1) disease

Inoperable tumour(s) with fixation to the pelvic wall on clinical examination

Prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy including, but not limited to, other anti CTLA-4, anti-PD 1, anti-PD L1 and anti-PD-L2 antibodies, excluding Bacillus Calmette-Guérin

Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of durvalumab

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The safety of neoadjuvant durvalumab combined with ddMVAC or gem/cis prior to radical cystectomy (RC).

Incidence of Grade 3 or 4 \[possibly treatment-related adverse events (PRAEs)\] as observed prior to RC.

Time frame
Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

The safety and tolerability of perioperative durvalumab combined with ddMVAC or gem/cis.

Incidence, severity, nature, seriousness, intervention/treatment, outcome, and causality of treatment-emergent adverse events, including PRAEs, adverse events of special interest, immune-mediated adverse events, adverse events (AEs), and serious adverse events; AEs resulting in study treatment interruption and discontinuation; laboratory findings.

Time frame
Up to 2 years
2

The efficacy of perioperative durvalumab combined with ddMVAC or gem/cis in terms of event-free survival (EFS).

EFS is defined as the time from first neoadjuvant durvalumab + chemotherapy treatment until the earliest occurrence of any of the following events: * First recurrence of disease after RC * First documented progression in participants who were medically precluded from RC * Time of expected surgery in participants who refuse to undergo RC or failure to undergo RC in participants with residual disease * Death due to any cause.

Time frame
Up to 3 years
3

The efficacy of perioperative durvalumab combined with ddMVAC or gem/cis in terms of disease-free survival (DFS).

DFS is defined as the time from the date of RC to the earliest of the first recurrence of disease post RC or death due to any cause.

Time frame
Up to 3 years
4

The efficacy of perioperative durvalumab combined with ddMVAC or gem/cis in terms of OS.

OS is defined as the time from first neoadjuvant durvalumab + chemotherapy until death due to any cause.

Time frame
Up to 3 years
