Requirements for the patient
From 18 Years
All Gender
Medical requirements
Histologically confirmed MIUC (also termed TCC) of the bladder
TNM classification (based on AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 8th Edition; Amin et al. 2016) at pathological examination of surgical resection specimen as follows: For patients treated with prior NAC: tumor stage of ypT2-4a or ypN+ and M0. For patients who have not received prior NAC: tumor stage of pT2-4a or pN+ and M0
Surgical resection of MIUC of the bladder
Patients who have received prior platinum-based NAC.
Patients who have not received prior platinum-based NAC, have refused, or are ineligible ("unfit") for cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy.
ctDNA assay developed based on tumor tissue specimen and matched normal DNA from blood.
Tumor PD-L1 expression per IHC that is evaluable by central testing of a representative tumor tissue specimen.
Absence of residual disease and absence of metastasis, as confirmed by a negative baseline computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the pelvis, abdomen, and chest no more than 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
Full recovery from cystectomy and enrollment within 24 weeks following cystectomy. Minimum of 6 weeks must have elapsed from surgery.
Blood for plasma ctDNA sample evaluated to be ctDNA positive, defined as the presence of two or more mutations out of the 16 mutations identified based on patient's WES evaluable (ctDNA assay designability) report
Absence of residual disease and absence of metastasis, as confirmed by a negative baseline CT or MRI scan of the pelvis, abdomen, and chest no more than 28 days prior to randomization, as assessed by the investigator
ECOG Performance Status of <= 2
Life expectancy >=12 weeks
Adequate hematologic and end-organ function, investigator decision
For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception and agreement to refrain from donating eggs
Known PD-L1 IHC result for adjuvant therapy. The decision for the adjuvant therapy should not be based on the PD-L1 IHC result. If a cap is in effect limiting enrollment of PD-L1 negative patients, this exclusion criterion will not apply.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Positive test for HIV, with the following exception: Patients with a positive HIV test at screening are eligible provided they are stable on antiretroviral therapy, have a CD4 count >= 200/µL, and have an undetectable viral load
Patients with active hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C. Patients with past HBV infection or resolved HBV infection are eligible. A negative HBV DNA test must be obtained in these patients prior to enrollment.
Patients positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA.
Active tuberculosis confirmed by a test performed within 3 months prior to treatment initiation.
History of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins
Known hypersensitivity to biopharmaceuticals produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells or any component of the atezolizumab formulation
History of autoimmune disease. Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid replacement hormone may be eligible for this study. Patients with controlled Type I diabetes mellitus on a stable dose of insulin regimen may be eligible for this study.
History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest CT scan. History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted.
Significant cardiovascular disease, such as New York Heart Association cardiac disease (Class II or greater), myocardial infarction within the previous 3 months, unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina
Any approved anti-cancer therapy, including chemotherapy, or hormonal therapy within 3 weeks prior to study enrollment
Adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy for UC following cystectomy
Treatment with any other investigational agent or participation in another clinical trial with therapeutic intent within 28 days or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is longer, prior to enrollment
Malignancies other than UC within 5 years prior to study enrollment
Any approved anti-cancer therapy, including chemotherapy, or hormonal therapy within 3 weeks prior to randomization to the treatment phase Hormone-replacement therapy or oral contraceptives are allowed.
Treatment with any other investigational agent or participation in another clinical trial with therapeutic intent within 28 days or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is longer, prior to randomization to the treatment phase
Patients with active hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C
Active tuberculosis confirmed by a test performed within 3 months prior to treatment initiation
