Official title
A Randomized, Prospective, Multicenter, Phase II Study of Disitamab Vedotin Plus Radiotherapy as Adjuvant Treatment for HER2-Expressing Cisplatin-Ineligible Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma
Overview
This randomized, open-label, multicenter phase II study is designed to compare disitamab vedotin plus radiotherapy with gemcitabine plus carboplatin as adjuvant treatment in patients with HER2-expressing upper tract urothelial carcinoma after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Eligible patients must have postoperative pathologic stage pT3-pT4N0M0 or pTanyN+M0, HER2 expression defined as immunohistochemistry (IHC) 1+, 2+, or 3+, and be cisplatin-ineligible. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive disitamab vedotin plus radiotherapy or gemcitabine plus carboplatin. The primary endpoint is 3-year disease-free survival. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, metastasis-free survival, local recurrence-free survival, bladder recurrence-free survival, incidence of adverse events, and patient-reported quality of life.
Interventions
- Drug Disitamab Vedotin (RC48)
Disitamab vedotin 2.0 mg/kg (maximum 120 mg) will be administered intravenously every 2 weeks for 12 cycles as adjuvant treatment after radical surgery. - Radiation radiotherapy
Adjuvant radiotherapy will be delivered to the regional lymphatic drainage area at 45-50 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks. Suspicious lymph nodes will receive 62.5 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks. - Drug Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2)
Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² will be administered on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for 4 to 6 cycles as adjuvant treatment after radical surgery. - Drug carboplatin
Carboplatin will be administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle at a target AUC of 4.5 to 5 for 4 to 6 cycles as adjuvant treatment after radical surgery.
Primary outcome measures
- 3-Year Disease-Free Survival [Time frame: From randomization up to 3 years]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
- Overall Survival [Time frame: From randomization up to 3 years]
- Metastasis-Free Survival [Time frame: From randomization up to 3 years]
- Local Recurrence-Free Survival [Time frame: From randomization up to 3 years]
- Bladder Recurrence-Free Survival [Time frame: From randomization up to 3 years]
- Incidence of Adverse Events [Time frame: From first dose through 30 days after completion of study treatment and up to 3 years for follow-up]
- Patient-Reported Quality of Life [Time frame: Baseline through 3 years]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Aged 18 years or older.
- Histologically confirmed upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU).
- Postoperative pathologic stage pT3-pT4N0M0 or pTanyN+M0.
- HER2 expression confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC 1+, 2+, or 3+).
- Cisplatin-ineligible, defined as meeting at least one of the following criteria: ECOG performance status 2; creatinine clearance <60 mL/min; CTCAE grade 2 or higher hearing loss; CTCAE grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy; or New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III heart failure.
- Adequate organ function.
- Expected survival of at least 6 months.
Exclusion criteria
- History of other active malignancies, except for adequately treated malignancies with low risk of recurrence.
- Prior systemic antitumor therapy before study treatment, or unresolved toxicities from prior therapy.
- Known hypersensitivity to disitamab vedotin, related agents, or any component of the study treatment.
- Severe active infection.
- Not adequately recovered from surgery.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.
