Randomized phase 2 umbrella study of various neoadjuvant therapies for patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (MIBC) who are cisplatin-ineligible or refuse cisplatin therapy and undergoing radical cystectomy (Optimus).
Abstract:TPS599 Background: A growing body of data support that the key to generating anti-tumor immune responses triggered by administration of immuno-oncology (IO) agents, is the activation and invasion of T lymphocytes. Checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) are being actively explored in the neoadjuvant setting of MIBC. CPIs documented 30-40% pathologic complete response-rates (ypT0N0) in previous trials. Increasingly, novel IO agents are being developed in combinations with anti PD(L)-1 therapies. Understanding the changes… Show more
