Neoadjuvant Durvalumab Alone Versus Durvalumab With Olaparib in Patients Ineligible for Cisplatin With Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder Followed by Radical Cystectomy

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study is a phase II, randomized, open-label, clinical trial including patients with muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder candidates for radical cystectomy. The study will include patients ineligible for cisplatin. Patients will be centrally randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive durvalumab plus olaparib (Arm A) or durvalumab alone (Arm B). The clinical study´s hypothesis is that for patients with muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder who are not fit for cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy, Durvalumab monotherapy will have a similar efficacy to historical chemotherapy controls and Durvalumab in combination with olaparib will be associated with an even improved efficacy results in terms of pathologic complete response (pCR).

Available primary tumor tissue (formalin-fixed paraffin embedded FFPE or slides) from transurethral biopsy/resection for biorepository. 7. Residual disease post transurethral resection prior to protocol inclusion and initiation. 8. Patient must be planning to undergo a radical cystectomy at the time of randomization. 9. Unfit for cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy defined as the presence of at least one of the characteristics below: Creatinine clearance less than 60 mL/min; Grade 2 or worse hearing loss; Grade 2 or worse neuropathy; New York Heart Association class III heart failure. 10. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1. 11. Body weight >30kg 12. Adequate normal organ and marrow function as defined below: Haemoglobin ≥10.0 g/dL with no blood transfusion in the past 28 days Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1.5 x 109/L Platelet count ≥100 x 109/L Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be ≤5x ULN 13. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test prior to ICF signature for female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply: Women <50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy). Women ≥50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy). 14. Female patients of childbearing potential who are not abstinent and intend to be sexually active with a non sterilized male partner must be in use of at least 1 highly effective method of contraception (see table in Section 7.1) before ICF signature/screening throughout the total duration of the drug treatment and the drug washout period (90 days after the last dose of durvalumab monotherapy). The study will not provide any method of contraception; this is responsibility of the patient in case of intention to participate in the study. 15. Male patients must use a condom during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of study drug when having sexual intercourse with a pregnant woman or with a woman of childbearing potential. Female partners of male patients should also use a highly effective form of contraception. The study will not provide any method of contraception; this is responsibility of the patient in case of intention to participate in the study. 16. Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study, including undergoing treatment, scheduled visits, examinations and follow up. Exclusion Criteria: Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 3 weeks. Concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an interventional study Any concurrent or within 3 weeks prior to study treatment systemic chemotherapy, IP, biologic, hormonal therapy or radiotherapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer-related conditions (e.g., hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.

Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA. Screening for tuberculosis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and/or HIV infections is not required, unless there is clinical suspicion of these infections. Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of durvalumab. The following are exceptions to this criterion: Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intra articular injection) Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed <<10 mg/day>> of prednisone or its equivalent Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication) Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of IP.
