This study showed that most cases with geometric changes caused by atelectasis could be captured by ITPD, however for other causes ITPD is not sensitive enough to detect the clinically relevant changes and no predictive power of ITPD was found.
4531 Background: Neoadjuvant nivolumab (nivo) + ipilimumab (ipi) prior to radical cystectomy showed efficacy in localized MIBC. The safety of PD-1 and PDL-1+CTLA4 inhibition concurrent with CRT in localized MIBC has not been assessed. We present the first clinical trial data on concurrent 3 doses of q4w nivo 480mg (cohort1) and concurrent 4 doses of q3w nivo 3mg/kg + ipi 1kg/mg (nivo3+ipi1, cohort2) in combination with Mitomycin C/Capecitabin (MMC/Cape) CRT. Methods: We report the first 2 cohorts of a phase 1b, EC approved, study with nivo only or nivo3+ipi1 added to MMC/Cape CRT. CRT consists of MMC i.v. on day 1 with Cape 750mg/m2 on days of radiotherapy. Radiotherapy schedule comprises a 20x2Gy whole bladder irradiation with a simultaneous tumorboost of 20x0.75Gy. Patients with MIBC, T2-4N0-1, ECOG performance status <2 were included. A dose escalation scheme, with a staggered enrollment is used. The first 10 patients received nivo 480mg on week 1, 5, 9. Cohort2 of 10 patients received nivo3+ ipi1 at week 1, 4, 7 and 10. Relevant severe Adverse Events (AEs) were registered as Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) when they occurred within 6 weeks after start of treatment. Clinical efficacy is evaluated by cystoscopy and CT at week 12 and 24. Results: Both cohorts enrolled 10 patients. Median age was 68 [IQR 61-75] and 70 [IQR 66-75] years in cohort1 and 2, respectively. In cohort1 no patients experienced DLT. No dose reductions were applied. In cohort2, 2 patients experienced DLT, 1 trombocytopenia (grade 4) and 1 asystole (grade 5). 50% of patients did not receive all 4 q3w nivo3+ipi1 infusions, due to AEs. Table 1 reports an overview of AEs. In cohort2 6 SAE’s occurred in 3 patients. Median follow up is 71 [IQR 59-86] and 30 weeks [IQR 12-45] in cohort1 and 2, respectively. 1year OS and DFS is 100% in cohort1. Conclusions: Concurrent 3 doses nivo 480mg q4w added to MMC/Cape based CRT is feasible with a favorable toxicity profile and shows promising efficacy in MIBC patients. An escalated regimen with 4 doses nivo 3mg/kg + ipi 1mg/kg q3w concurrent to CRT shows acceptable toxicity. Cohort3 with ipi 3mg/kg and nivo 1mg/kg is enrolling. Clinical trial information: NCT03844256. [Table: see text]
