A Phase 2, Randomized, Open-label Study of Gemcitabine/Cisplatin Plus Cemiplimab (REGN2810, Anti-PD-1) With or Without Fianlimab (REGN3767, Anti-LAG-3) for Organ Preservation in Patients With Localized Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer (NeoSTOP-IT)
Columbia University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if gemcitabine/cisplatin plus cemiplimab with or without fianlimab works to treat bladder cancer in adults. The main question it aims to answer is: Can gemcitabine, cisplatin, and cemiplimab with or without fianlimab treat bladder cancer? Participants will be randomly selected (like the loss of a coin) to treatment with gemcitabine, cisplatin, cemiplimab, and fianlimab or gemcitabine, cisplatin, and cemiplimab. Participants will: * Undergo transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) followed by the start of treatment, receive 4 cycles of treatment (21 day cycles) * After 4 cycles of treatment, patients will undergo repeat maximal TURBT with imaging * Participants with a complete response will continue maintenance cemiplimab or cemiplimab/fianlimab for 13 more cycles with imaging every 3 months * Participants without a complete clinical response will undergo cystectomy (bladder surgery).
Description
This is a phase 2, open-label, randomized trial with continuous toxicity monitoring to ensure safety using Bayesian toxicity monitoring, which will evaluate treatment with doublet platinum-based chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) plus cemiplimab (REGN2810) with or without fianlimab (REGN3767) for localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Participants will be randomized to 4 cycles of 3 weeks each (12 weeks total) with gemcitabine, cisplatin, and cemiplimab with or without fianlimab. Participants achieving a clinical complete response will continue 13 more cycles of immunotherapy (…
