Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects durvalumab has on bladder cancer, combined with treatment after completion of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Bladder Cancer | Drug: Durvalumab | Phase 2 |
This study is looking at whether a type of immunotherapy drug called durvalumab can be safely administered after initial treatment received by a patient. Durvalumab has been tested in many different types of cancers. Durvalumab works by allowing the immune system to detect cancer and reactivate the immune response. This may help to slow down the growth of cancer or may cause cancer cells to die. It is unclear if the addition of durvalumab is beneficial in patients with bladder cancer who have completed surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Disease-free survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]defined as the time from the randomization to the time of the first event that is either recurrent (local or distant) bladder cancer, a new primary bladder cancer or death from any cause
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer recurrence rate [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Loco-regional control rate between study arms at the 12 week visit [ Time Frame: 5 years ]defined as proportion of patients with a confirmed locoregional complete response at 3 months post randomization
- Patterns of disease recurrence between study arms [ Time Frame: 5 years ]The two treatment arms will be compared using the log-rank test stratified by ECOG Performance Status (0, 1 vs. 2+), Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Yes/No), whole bladder versus partial bladder versus bladder plus regional lymph nodes RT field, and disease stage (T2 vs T3/4). A table will be presented summarizing the patterns of disease recurrence by treatment arms
- Compare overall and bladder intact disease-free survival between study arms [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Metastasis-free survival between study arms [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Number and severity of adverse events between study arms [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Quality of Life between treatment arms using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bladder Cancer (FACT-BL) questionnaire [ Time Frame: 5 years ]It consists of 39 questions, of which 12 are specific to bladder cancer. The questionnaire consists of 5 subscales: physical well-being (PWB), social/family well-being (SWB), emotional well-being (EWB), functional well-being (FWB), and a final subscale focusing specifically on bladder cancer.
- Cost-effectiveness between study arms [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Estimate an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio reported as a difference in cost per Disease free survival-year gained of durvalumab vs. surveillance. analyses will focus on the incremental cost-effectiveness of durvalumab from a government payer perspective, over a disease-free survival time horizon by prospectively collecting economic and resource utilization information during the clinical trial.
- Cost-utility between study arms [ Time Frame: 5 years ]A partitioned-survival model (Markov model) will be developed using data obtained from the trial. Different parametric models will be evaluated to fit data from the trial in order to evaluate the incremental cost-utility over a 3-, 5- and 10-y horizon.

- All patients must have a tumour block from their primary tumour available and consent to release the block/cores/cut slides for correlative analyses ( and the centre/pathologist must have agreed to the submission of the specimen(s).
- Patients have completed prior trimodality therapy (TMT) consisting of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatment prior to enrollment. Patient should start treatment within 42 days after completion of TMT.
- Patients must have undergone a transurethral resection prior to study enrollment.
- Patient may have completed up to 4 cycles of cisplatin-based neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy is not permitted. Patients will have received cisplatin, given intravenously during the radiation therapy. OR Patients may have received fluorouracil and mitomycin given intravenously once weekly or gemcitabine as an alternative to cisplatin during radiotherapy.

The following are radiotherapy guidelines for patients treated on study. Patients will be treated to radical treatment doses using IMRT, VMAT or 4 field conformal techniques. Planning will be based on CT planning. IGRT is recommended during the radiotherapy treatment. Recognizing differences in usual radiotherapy doses used in the various participating countries and centres the following would be acceptable doses in this study. The bladder CTV will include the whole empty bladder and any extravesical extension. PTV expansion will be a minimum of 0.75 cm right, left and inferiorly, 1.5 cm Anteriorly and superiorly and 1 cm posteriorly. These minimum expansions are with Cone beam verification. For patients undergoing RT without image-guided verification 1.5 cm expansion in all directions is recommended. Acceptable doses for this study include:
- Bladder only: 64-66 Gy in 32-33 fractions over 6.5 weeks; 50-55 Gy in 20 fractions over 4 weeks
- Pelvis and bladder: 45-46 Gy to pelvic nodes + 17-20 Gy bladder boost in 33-35 fractions over 6.5-7 wks [Note: minimal nodal dose (if used) is 44 Gy in 32f or 40 Gy in 20f]
- Patients receiving concurrent bladder boost: pelvis dose 40 Gy and bladder dose 50 Gy given in 20 fractions over 4 weeks. Adaptive radiotherapy techniques would be acceptable.
- Patient is able (i.e. sufficiently fluent) and willing to complete the quality of life questionnaires in either English, French or Spanish.
- Patient consent must be appropriately obtained in accordance with applicable local and regulatory requirements. Each patient must sign a consent form prior to enrollment in the trial to document their willingness to participate.
- Patients must be accessible for treatment and follow up. Patients registered on this trial must be treated and followed at the participating centre. This implies there must be reasonable geographical limits placed on patients being considered for this trial.
- In accordance with CCTG policy, protocol treatment is to begin within 2 working days of patient enrollment.
- Women/men of childbearing potential must have agreed to use a highly effective contraceptive method during and for 3 months following treatment.
