There is one clinical trial.
This phase III trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with bladder cancer that has spread into the deep muscle of the bladder wall (muscle-invasive) or urothelial cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Monoclonal antibodies recognizing and blocking checkpoint molecules can enhance the patient's immune response and therefore help fight cancer. Pembrolizumab is one of the monoclonal antibodies that block the PD-1 axis and can interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow.
PHARMACOGENOMIC STUDY OBJECTIVES: I. To investigate the effect of PDCD1 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs11568821 on severe (grade 3 or higher) immune-related toxicity in the pembrolizumab-treated cohort.
Description: The stratified proportional hazards model will be the primary analysis. The hazard ratio and its 95% confidence interval from the stratified Cox model with a single treatment covariate will be reported. The unstratified hazard ratio will also be presented.
Measure: Overall survival Time: From randomization to the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 yearsDescription: The stratified proportional hazards model will be the primary analysis. The hazard ratio and its 95% confidence interval from the stratified Cox model with a single treatment covariate will be reported. The unstratified hazard ratio will also be presented.
Measure: Disease-free survival Time: From randomization to the first metastatic recurrence (presence of any recurrent disease), or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 yearsDescription: The stratified proportional hazards model will be the primary analysis. The hazard ratio and its 95% confidence interval from the stratified Cox model with a single treatment covariate will be reported. The unstratified hazard ratio will also be presented.
Measure: Overall survival in PD-L1 positive and negative patients Time: From randomization to the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 yearsDescription: The stratified proportional hazards model will be the primary analysis. The hazard ratio and its 95% confidence interval from the stratified Cox model with a single treatment covariate will be reported. The unstratified hazard ratio will also be presented.
