IMvigor011: a study of adjuvant atezolizumab in patients with high-risk MIBC who are ctDNA+ post-surgery.

Abstract

The standard-of-care for muscle-invasive bladder cancer is radical surgery with neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Despite curative intent from these interventions, relapse rates post-surgery remain high, with approximately 50% of patients developing local or distant recurrence within 2years of surgery and a 5-year survival of only50-60%. Identifying patients who are high risk for relapse post-surgery is a priority. Monitoring patients for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a minimally invasive approach that appears attractive for selecting patients potentially suitable for adjuvant treatment with checkpoint inhibitors. IMvigor011 (NCT04660344) is a global, double-blind, randomized phase III study assessing the efficacy of atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) versus placebo in patients with high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are ctDNA positive post-cystectomy. The primary end point is disease-free survival in participants who are ctDNA positive within 20weeks of cystectomy.
