RC48 Combined With Toripalimab and Radiotherapy for Bladder Sparing Treatment in MIBC

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a prospective, open, single-center clinical study of RC48 combined with PD-1 and radiotherapy as bladder-preserving therapy in patients with muscular invasive bladder uroepithelial carcinoma with high HER-2 expression (IHC 2+ or 3+). The study was conducted in accordance with the Good Practice for Clinical Trials of Pharmaceutical Products (GCP). Six patients were enrolled in this study. Each patient received RC48 injection [2.0 mg/kg, Q2W, iv] and Toripalimab injection [3mg/kg, Q2W, iv] for 1 2 cycles, and radiotherapy at the second or third cycle. The total dose of bladder irradiation field was greater than 50Gy (about 30 times), and the safety monitoring of the subjects was conducted within 28 days after receiving the study drug treatment for the first time. Adverse events were graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Standard for the Assessment of Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0 guidelines, and the occurrence of DLT in patients was observed. If the subject does not complete the safety assessment for the tolerance observation period for non-dose tolerance reasons, a new subject will be replaced.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This is a prospective, open, single-center clinical study of RC48 in combination with PD-1 and radiotherapy as bladder-preserving therapy in patients with muscular invasive bladder uroepithelial carcinoma with high HER-2 expression (IHC 2+ or 3+). The study was conducted in accordance with the Good Practice for Clinical Trials of Pharmaceutical Products (GCP). Subjects undergo maximum transurethral electrocystotomy (TURBT) or partial cystectomy, imaging diagnosis, and pre-treatment biological samples of blood, urine, and biopsy tissue. The researchers determined that localized invasive bladder cancer with high HER-2 expression could be treated with bladder conserving therapy with maximum TURBT. Patients will receive RC48 combined with PD-1 and radiotherapy after TURBT surgery. Subjects should receive RC48 combined with PD-1 every two weeks for 12 treatment cycles and radiotherapy (bladder irradiation field greater than 50Gy). After completion of the above treatment, tumor site pathology, imaging, and exfoliation cytology are obtained with diagnostic TURBT for tumor evaluation to determine complete remission, and the first tumor efficacy evaluation is performed after completion of radiotherapy (12 weeks after treatment) and every 12 weeks after completion of radiotherapy. Patients with radiotherapy intolerance (as assessed by the investigator) were discontinued directly. Adverse events will be monitored during the study period and graded using the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Standards for the Assessment of Adverse Events in General Terminology (CTCAE) Version 5.0 guidelines. The safety assessment was carried out after 28 days. Subjects who discontinue medication for reasons other than disease progression will be followed for post-treatment disease status until subjects begin other antitumor therapy, develop disease progression, withdraw informed consent, die, or end of the study, whichever occurs first. All subjects will be followed up via outpatient cystoscopy (every 3 months within 1 year of withdrawal and every 6 months after 1 year) until subject's death, withdrawal of informed consent, or the end of the study, whichever occurs first. Participation in this study will require participants to submit a TURBT tumor tissue specimen or a newly obtained tumor lesion biopsy from prior untreated radiation therapy for biomarker and efficacy correlation evaluation. Blood and urine samples from patients will be collected during the treatment to explore potential biomarkers correlated to the treatment efficacy and patient response.

Upper limit of normal values (ULN) ≤2.5 times of alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) Note: ≤1.5× ULN (This criterion only applies to patients who have not received anticoagulant therapy; Patients receiving anticoagulant therapy should keep anticoagulants within therapeutic limits); Kidney function: The Cockcroft-Gault formula was used to determine the creatinine clearance (CrCl) > 30 mL/min. Subjects (or their legal representatives) must sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that they understand the purpose and procedures of the study and are willing to participate in the study; Fertile women must have a negative pregnancy test result (beta-hCG) (urine or serum) within 7 days before the study drug is first administered. Exclusion criteria: Previously received anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2 therapy, including adjuvant therapy stage；Known allergy to recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody drugs and their components；Those who had received other antitumor therapy (including corticosteroid therapy, immunotherapy) or participated in other clinical studies within 4 weeks prior to study therapy, or had not recovered from previous toxicity (except for 2 degree hair loss and 1 degree neurotoxicity)；Pregnant or lactating woman；HIV positive；People with active hepatitis B or C；A history of definite active tuberculosis；Have active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic treatment within the past 2 years (e.g., use of disease-regulating drugs, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs) that allow for relevant replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for renal or pituitary insufficiency)；Other serious, uncontrolled concomitant diseases that may affect protocol adherence or interfere with interpretation of results, These include active opportunistic or progressive (severe) infections, uncontrolled diabetes, cardiovascular disease (heart failure of Grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ as defined by the New York Heart Association scale, heart block of degree Ⅱ or higher, myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, unstable arrhythmia or unstable angina, cerebral infarction within 3 months, etc.), or pulmonary disease (interstitial pneumonia, History of obstructive pulmonary disease and symptomatic bronchospasm)；Those who received the live vaccine within 4 weeks before treatment began；Previously received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or solid organ transplantation；Major surgical procedures (excluding diagnostic surgery) within 4 weeks prior to the start of treatment；Those who have a history of psychotropic substance abuse and cannot abstain or have a history of mental disorders；A large amount of pleural fluid or ascites with clinical symptoms or symptomatic management；Have had other unhealed malignancies in the past 5 years, excluding those that are apparently cured or curable, such as basal or squamous cell skin cancer, localized low-risk prostate cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or carcinoma in situ of the breast; Remarks: Patients with localized low-risk prostate cancer (defined as stage ≤T2b, Gleason score ≤7, and PSA≤20ng/mL at the time of prostate cancer diagnosis (as measured) who had received radical therapy and had no biochemical recurrence of prostate specific antigen (PSA) were eligible to participate in this study)；Urothelial carcinoma associated with upper urinary tract (renal pelvis and ureteral urothelial carcinoma)；Other severe, acute, or chronic medical or psychiatric conditions or laboratory abnormalities that, according to the investigator, may increase the risks associated with study participation or may interfere with the interpretation of the study results
