RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The standard of care for patients with intermediate-to-high risk renal cell carcinoma is partial or radical nephrectomy followed by surveillance. We aimed to investigate use of nivolumab before nephrectomy followed by adjuvant nivolumab in patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma to determine recurrence-free survival compared with surgery only. METHODS: In this open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial (PROSPER EA8143), patients were recruited from 183 community and academic sites across the USA and Canada. Eligible patients were aged 18 years or older with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1, with previously untreated clinical stage T2 or greater or Tany N+ renal cell carcinoma of clear cell or non-clear cell histology planned for partial or radical nephrectomy. Selected patients with oligometastatic disease, who were disease free at other disease sites within 12 weeks of surgery, were eligible for inclusion. We randomly assigned (1:1) patients using permuted blocks (block size of 4) within stratum (clinical TNM stage) to either nivolumab plus surgery, or surgery only followed by surveillance. In the nivolumab group, nivolumab 480 mg was administered before surgery, followed by nine adjuvant doses. The primary endpoint was investigator-reviewed recurrence-free survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma assessed in all randomly assigned patients regardless of histology. Safety was assessed in all randomly assigned patients who started the assigned protocol treatment. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03055013, and is closed to accrual. FINDINGS: Between Feb 2, 2017, and June 2, 2021, 819 patients were randomly assigned to nivolumab plus surgery (404 [49%]) or surgery only (415 [51%]). 366 (91%) of 404 patients assigned to nivolumab plus surgery and 387 (93%) of 415 patients assigned to surgery only group started treatment. Median age was 61 years (IQR 53-69), 248 (30%) of 819 patients were female, 571 (70%) were male, 672 (88%) were White, and 77 (10%) were Hispanic or Latino. The Data and Safety Monitoring Committee stopped the trial at a planned interim analysis (March 25, 2022) because of futility. Median follow-up was 30·4 months (IQR 21·5-42·4) in the nivolumab group and 30·1 months (21·9-41·8) in the surgery only group. 381 (94%) of 404 patients in the nivolumab plus surgery group and 399 (96%) of 415 in the surgery only group had renal cell carcinoma and were included in the recurrence-free survival analysis. As of data cutoff (May 24, 2023), recurrence-free survival was not significantly different between nivolumab (125 [33%] of 381 had recurrence-free survival events) versus surgery only (133 [33%] of 399; hazard ratio 0·94 [95% CI 0·74-1·21]; one-sided p=0·32). The most common treatment-related grade 3-4 adverse events were elevated lipase (17 [5%] of 366 patients in the nivolumab plus surgery group vs none in the surgery only group), anaemia (seven [2%] vs nine [2%]), increased alanine aminotransferase (ten [3%] vs one [<1%]), abdominal pain (four [1%] vs six [2%]), and increased serum amylase (nine [2%] vs none). 177 (48%) patients in the nivolumab plus surgery group and 93 (24%) in the surgery only group had grade 3-5 adverse events due to any cause, the most common of which were anaemia (23 [6%] vs 19 [5%]), hypertension (27 [7%] vs nine [2%]), and elevated lipase (18 [5%] vs six [2%]). 48 (12%) of 404 patients in the nivolumab group and 40 (10%) of 415 in the surgery only group died, of which eight (2%) and three (1%), respectively, were determined to be treatment-related. INTERPRETATION: Perioperative nivolumab before nephrectomy followed by adjuvant nivolumab did not improve recurrence-free survival versus surgery only followed by surveillance in patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma.

Bladder cancer, the sixth most common cancer in the United States, is most commonly of the urothelial carcinoma histologic subtype. The clinical spectrum of bladder cancer is divided into 3 categories that differ in prognosis, management, and therapeutic aims: (1) non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC); (2) muscle invasive, nonmetastatic disease; and (3) metastatic bladder cancer. These NCCN Guidelines Insights detail recent updates to the NCCN Guidelines for Bladder Cancer, including changes in the fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Tumours: Urinary and Male Genital Tumours and how the NCCN Guidelines aligned with these updates; new and emerging treatment options for bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive NMIBC; and updates to systemic therapy recommendations for advanced or metastatic disease.

The use of blue light cystoscopy (BLC) has been shown to improve bladder tumor detection. However, data demonstrating the efficacy of BLC across different races are limited. Herein, we aim to evaluate heterogeneity in the characteristics of BLC for the detection of malignant lesions among various races. Clinicopathologic information was collected from patients enrolled in the multi-institutional Cysview® registry (2014-2021) who underwent transurethral resection or biopsy of bladder tumors. Outcome variables included sensitivity and negative and positive predictive values of BLC and white light cystoscopy (WLC) for the detection of malignant lesions among various races. Overall, 2379 separate lesions/tumors were identified from 1292 patients, of whom 1095 (85%) were Caucasian, 96 (7%) were African American, 51 (4%) were Asian, and 50 (4%) were Hispanic. The sensitivity of BLC was higher than that of WLC in the total cohort, as well as in the Caucasian and Asian subgroups. The addition of BLC to WLC increased the detection rate by 10% for any malignant lesion in the total cohort, with the greatest increase in Asian patients (18%). Additionally, the positive predictive value of BLC was highest in Asian patients (94%), while Hispanic patients had the highest negative predictive value (86%). Our study showed that regardless of race, BLC increases the detection of bladder cancer when combined with WLC.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: UGN-101 has been approved for the chemoablation of low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) involving the renal pelvis and calyces. Herein is the first reported cohort of patients with ureteral tumors treated with UGN-101. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of patients treated with UGN-101 for UTUC at 15 high-volume academic and community centers focusing on outcomes of patients treated for ureteral disease. Patients received UGN-101 with either adjuvant or chemo-ablative intent. Response rates are reported for patients receiving chemo-ablative intent. Adverse outcomes were characterized with a focus on the rate of ureteral stenosis. RESULTS: In a cohort of 132 patients and 136 renal units, 47 cases had tumor involvement of the ureter, with 12 cases of ureteral tumor only (8.8%) and 35 cases of ureteral plus renal pelvic tumors (25.7%). Of the 23 patients with ureteral involvement who received UGN-101 induction with chemo-ablative intent, the complete response was 47.8%, which did not differ significantly from outcomes in patients without ureteral involvement. Fourteen patients (37.8%) with ureteral tumors had significant ureteral stenosis at first post-treatment evaluation, however, when excluding those with pre-existing hydronephrosis or ureteral stenosis, only 5.4% of patients developed new clinically significant stenosis. CONCLUSIONS: UGN-101 appears to be safe and may have similar efficacy in treating low-grade urothelial carcinoma of the ureter as compared to renal pelvic tumors.

Extracellular vesicle (EV) proteomics emerges as an effective tool for discovering potential biomarkers for disease diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutics. However, the current workflow of mass spectrometry-based EV proteome analysis is not fully compatible in a clinical setting due to inefficient EV isolation methods and a tedious sample preparation process. To streamline and improve the efficiency of EV proteome analysis, here we introduce a one-pot analytical pipeline integrating a robust EV isolation approach, EV total recovery and purification (EVtrap), with in situ protein sample preparation, to detect urinary EV proteome. By incorporating solvent-driven protein capture and fast on-bead digestion, the one-pot pipeline enabled the whole EV proteome analysis to be completed within one day. In comparison with the existing workflow, the one-pot pipeline was able to obtain better peptide yield and identify the equivalent number of unique EV proteins from 1 mL of urine. Finally, we applied the one-pot pipeline to profile proteomes in urinary EVs of bladder cancer patients. A total of 2774 unique proteins were identified in 53 urine samples using a 15 min gradient library-free data-independent acquisition method. Taken altogether, our novel one-pot analytical pipeline demonstrated its potential for routine and robust EV proteomics in biomedical applications.

BACKGROUND: UGN-101 can be used for chemoablation of low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). The gel can be administered via a retrograde route through a ureteral catheter or an antegrade route via a nephrostomy tube. OBJECTIVE: To report outcomes of UGN-101 by route of administration. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We performed a retrospective review of 132 patients from 15 institutions who were treated with UGN-101 for low-grade UTUC via retrograde versus antegrade administration. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Survival outcomes are reported per patient. Treatment, complications, and recurrence outcomes are reported per renal unit. Statistical analysis was performed for primary endpoints of oncological response and ureteral stricture occurrence. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: A total of 136 renal units were evaluated, comprising 78 retrograde and 58 antegrade instillations. Median follow-up was 7.4 mo. There were 120 cases (91%) of biopsy-proven low-grade UTUC. Tumors were in the renal pelvis alone in 89 cases (65%), in the ureter alone in 12 cases (9%), and in both in 35 cases (26%). Seventy-six patients (56%) had residual disease before UGN-101 treatment. Chemoablation with UGN-101 was used in 50/78 (64%) retrograde cases and 26/58 (45%) antegrade cases. A complete response according to inspection and cytology was achieved in 31 (48%) retrograde and 30 (60%) antegrade renal units (p = 0.1). Clavien grade 3 ureteral stricture occurred in 21 retrograde cases (32%) and only six (12%) antegrade cases (p < 0.01). Limitations include treatment bias, as patients in the antegrade group were more likely to undergo endoscopic mechanical ablation before UGN-101 instillation. CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary results show a significantly lower rate of stricture occurrence with antegrade administration of UGN-101, with no apparent impact on oncological efficacy. PATIENT SUMMARY: We compared results for two different delivery routes for the drug UGN-101 for treatment of cancer in the upper urinary tract. For the antegrade route, a tube is inserted through the skin into the kidney. For the retrograde route, a catheter is inserted past the bladder into the upper urinary tract. Our results show a lower rate of narrowing of the ureter (the tube draining urine from the kidney into the bladder) using the antegrade route, with no difference in cancer control.

PURPOSE: Assess the real-world ablative effect of mitomycin reverse thermal gel for low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in patients who undergo biopsy only or partial ablation and evaluate utility of complete ablation prior to UGN-101. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed low-grade UTUC patients treated with UGN-101 from 15 high-volume centers. Patients were categorized based on initial endoscopic ablation (biopsy only, partial ablation, or complete ablation) and by size of remaining tumor (complete ablation, <1cm, 1-3cm, or >3cm) prior to UGN-101. The primary outcome was rendered disease free (RDF) rate at first post-UGN-101 ureteroscopy (URS), defined as complete response or partial response with minimal mechanical ablation to endoscopically clear the upper tract of visible disease. RESULTS: One hundred and sixteen patients were included for analysis after excluding those with high-grade disease. At first post-UGN-101 URS, there were no differences in RDF rates between those who at initial URS (pre-UGN-101) had complete ablation (RDF 77.0%), partial ablation (RDF 55.9%) or biopsy only (RDF 66.7%) (P = 0.14). Similarly, a complimentary analysis focusing on tumor size (completely ablated, <1cm, 1-3cm or >3cm) prior to UGN-101 induction did not demonstrate significant differences in RDF rates (P = 0.17). CONCLUSION: The results of the early real-world experience suggest that UGN-101 may play a role in initial chemo-ablative cytoreduction of larger volume low-grade tumors that may not initially appear to be amenable to renal preservation. Further studies will help to better quantify the chemo-ablative effect and to identify clinical factors for patient selection.

BACKGROUND: Intracavitary UGN-101 is approved for the treatment of low-grade noninvasive upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Post-commercialization studies underscore the benefit of UGN-101 administration for patients with imperative indications for whom radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) is not a viable option. OBJECTIVE: To describe the use, efficacy, and safety of UGN-101 in patients with UTUC with imperative indications for renal preservation, including high-grade disease. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Patients receiving UGN-101 with imperative indications were retrospectively analyzed using a multicenter centralized registry from 15 high-volume academic and community centers. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: We defined imperative indications as patients with a solitary kidney, the presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with a glomerular filtration rate <30 ml/min, bilateral UTUC, and patients unfit for or unwilling to undergo surgical extirpation. Tumor characteristics, disease progression/recurrence, and adverse events were recorded on a per-renal-unit basis. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: UGN-101 was instilled into 52 renal units (38%) in 48 patients for imperative indications, including 29 patients (56%) with a solitary kidney, 11 kidneys (21%) in the setting of bilateral UTUC, six patients (12%) with CKD, and six patients (12%) who were unfit for or unwilling to undergo RNU. Twelve renal units had biopsy-proven high-grade papillary disease. Tumors were completely ablated before induction therapy in 34% of cases, while 66% had tumor present. Following induction therapy, 17 patients (40%) had no evidence of disease (NED) on ureteroscopy, 88% of whom maintained this status at median follow-up of 10.8 mo. In the cohort with high-grade disease, five patients (45%) had NED at initial post-induction primary disease evaluation. Adverse events included pyelonephritis (8%), ureteral stenosis (8%), anemia (6%), and acute renal failure (4%). Limitations include the retrospective study design, the lack of long-term follow up, and patient selection bias. CONCLUSIONS: Intracavitary therapy with UGN-101 in patients with UTUC and imperative indications shows promise as a kidney-sparing treatment modality. While long-term follow-up is needed, this intracavitary treatment may help in prolonging time to RNU and delaying the morbidity of hemodialysis in this comorbid population. PATIENT SUMMARY: We reviewed results for patients with cancer in the upper urinary tract and an additional condition that would not allow kidney removal who received treatment with a gel called UGN-101. Our results suggest that UGN-101 shows promise as a kidney-sparing treatment. It may delay the time until kidney removal is needed in these patients and avoid the negative effects associated with dialysis.

BACKGROUND: Novel treatments and trial designs remain a high priority for bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of anti-PD-L1 directed therapy with durvalumab (D), durvalumab plus BCG (D + BCG), and durvalumab plus external beam radiation therapy (D + EBRT). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A multicenter phase 1 trial was conducted at community and academic sites. INTERVENTION: Patients received 1120 mg of D intravenously every 3 wk for eight cycles. D + BCG patients also received full-dose intravesical BCG weekly for 6 wk with BCG maintenance recommended. D + EBRT patients received concurrent EBRT (6 Gy × 3 in cycle 1 only). OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Post-treatment cystoscopy and urine cytology were performed at 3 and 6 -mo, with bladder biopsies required at the 6-mo evaluation. The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for each regimen was the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included toxicity profiles and complete response (CR) rates. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Twenty-eight patients were treated in the D (n = 3), D + BCG (n = 13), and D + EBRT (n = 12) cohorts. Full-dose D, full-dose BCG, and 6 Gy fractions × 3 were determined as the RP2Ds. One patient (4%) experienced a grade 3 dose limiting toxicity event of autoimmune hepatitis. The 3-mo CR occurred in 64% of all patients and in 33%, 85%, and 50% within the D, D + BCG, and D + EBRT cohorts, respectively. Twelve-month CRs were achieved in 46% of all patients and in 73% of D + BCG and 33% of D + EBRT patients. CONCLUSIONS: D combined with intravesical BCG or EBRT proved feasible and safe in BCG-unresponsive NMIBC patients. Encouraging preliminary efficacy justifies further study of combination therapy approaches. PATIENT SUMMARY: Durvalumab combination therapy can be safely administered to non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients with the goal of increasing durable response rates.

BACKGROUND: UGN-101 is a novel delivery system for intracavitary treatment of upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC). UGN-101 was approved based on a pivotal trial for small volume residual low-grade UTUC. Our aim was to report our experience with UGN-101 in a more heterogenous and real-world setting. METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of all UGN-101 cases from 15 institutions with a focus on practice patterns, efficacy, and adverse effects. We include UGN-101 utilization in both the chemoablative and adjuvant setting. RESULTS: There were a total 136 renal units treated from 132 patients. The majority of cases were biopsy proven low-grade UTUC. Practice patterns varied considerably - the most common administration technique was antegrade instillation via a percutaneous nephrostomy. When utilized in the adjuvant setting, 69% of patients were disease free at the time of their first endoscopic evaluation, while in the chemoablative setting, 37% were endoscopically clear on the first evaluation (P < 0.001). Complete response was higher in patients with smaller tumor size prior to UGN-101 induction; low volume (<1 cm) residual disease was associated with a 70% complete response, similar to disease free rate at first endoscopic evaluation when UGN-101 was used in the adjuvant setting. The use of maintenance doses of UGN-101 was reported in 27% of cases. The overall incidence of new onset, clinically significant ureteral stenosis was 23%. CONCLUSIONS: This study represents the largest review of patients treated with UGN-101 and can serve as a basis of ongoing hypotheses regarding treatment with UGN-101 for UTUC.

BACKGROUND: Biodynamic signatures (temporal patterns of microscopic motion within a 3-dimensional tumor explant) offer phenomic biomarkers that are highly predictive for therapeutic response. OBJECTIVE: By utilizing motility contrast tomography, which provides a simple, fast assessment of motion patterns in living tissue, we evaluated the predictive accuracy of a biodynamic drug response classifier in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: One hundred five consecutive bladder cancer patients suspected of having MIBC were screened in a multi-institutional prospective observational study (NCT03739177) from July 2018 to June 2020, of whom, 30 completed NAC and radical cystectomy. INTERVENTION(S): Biodynamic signatures from treatment-naïve fresh bladder tumor specimens obtained after transurethral resection were measured in living tumor fragments challenged by standard-of-care cytotoxins. Patients received gemcitabine and cisplatin or dose-dense methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin per institutional guidelines and were followed through radical cystectomy. OUTCOMES MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: A 4-level classifier was developed to predict pathologic complete response (pCR) vs. incomplete response utilizing a one-left-out cross-validation protocol to minimize over-fitting. Area under the curve evaluated predictive utility. RESULTS: Thirty percent (9 of 30) achieved pCR. Utilizing the 4-level classifier, biodynamically "favored" (scoring ≥ 3) and "strongly favored" (scoring 4) regimens accurately predicted pCR at rates of 66.7% (4 of 6 patients) and 100% (4 of 4 patients), respectively. Biodynamically "favored" scores predicted pCR with 88% sensitivity and 95% negative predictive value, P < 0.0001. Only 5.0% (1 of 20 patients) achieved pCR from regimens scoring 1 or 2, indicating poor to no response from NAC. Area under the receiver operating curve was 96% (95% Confidence Interval: 79%-99%, P < 0.0001). Future direction involves validating this model prospectively. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS: Biodynamic scoring accurately predicts response in MIBC patients receiving NAC and holds promise to substantially improve the scope of appropriate management intervention.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether a restaging transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is necessary in high-risk nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) if the initial TURBT was performed using blue light (BL) technology. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Using the multi-institutional Cysview registry between 2014 and 2021, all consecutive adult patients with known NMIBC (Ta and T1 disease) who underwent TURBT followed by a restaging TURBT within 8 weeks were reviewed. Patients were stratified according to their initial TURBT, BL vs. white light (WL), and compared to determine rates of residual disease and upstaging. Univariate analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney U and chi-square tests, with P < 0.05 considered significant. RESULTS: Overall, 115 patients had TURBT for NMIBC followed by a restaging TURBT within 8 weeks and were included in the analysis. Patients who underwent BL compared to WL for their initial TURBT had higher rates of benign pathology on restaging TURBT, although this was not statistically significant (47% vs. 30%; Pâ¯=â¯0.08). Of patients with residual tumors on restaging TURBT, there were no differences in rates of Ta (22% vs. 26.5%; Pâ¯=â¯0.62), T1 (22% vs. 26.5%; Pâ¯=â¯0.62), or CIS (5.5% vs. 13%; Pâ¯=â¯0.49) when the initial TURBT was done using BL compared to WL. Rates of upstaging to muscle invasive disease were also not different when initial TURBT was performed using BL compared to WL (3% vs. 4%; Pâ¯=â¯0.78). CONCLUSIONS: TURBT using BL does not reduce rates of residual disease or risk of upstaging on restaging TURBT in Ta or T1 disease. Thus, a restaging TURBT is still necessary even if initial TURBT was performed using BL.

Cystoscopic visualization of bladder cancer is an essential method for initial bladder cancer detection and diagnosis, transurethral resection, and monitoring for recurrence. We sought to develop a new intravesical imaging agent that is more specific and sensitive using a polypeptide based NIR (near-infrared) probe designed to detect cells bearing epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) that are overexpressed in 80% of urothelial carcinoma (UC) cases. The NIR imaging agent consisted of an elastin like polypeptide (ELP) fused with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and conjugated to Cy5.5 to give Cy5.5-N24-EGF as a NIR contrast agent. In addition to evaluation in human cells and tissues, the agent was tested in canine cell lines and tissue samples with naturally occurring invasive UC. Flow cytometry and confocal microscopy were used to test cell-associated fluorescence of the probe in T24 human UC cells, and in K9TCC-SH (high EGFR expression) and K9TCC-Original (low EGF expression) canine cell lines. The probe specifically engages these cells through EGFR within 15 min of incubation and reached saturation within a clinically relevant 1 h timeframe. Furthermore, ex vivo studies with resected canine and human bladder tissues showed minimal signal from normal adjacent tissue and significant NIR fluorescence labeling of tumor tissue, in good agreement with our in vitro findings. Differential expression of EGFR ex vivo was revealed by our probe and confirmed by anti-EGFR immunohistochemical staining. Taken together, our data suggests Cy5.5-ELP-EGF is a NIR probe with improved sensitivity and selectivity towards BC that shows excellent potential for clinical translation.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the most recent 7 year experience with 137 Indiana pouch patients at a single institution and provide data on complications with this type of urinary diversion during the first postoperative year. METHODS: We queried our bladder cancer database to identify all patients who underwent cystectomy with continent catheterizable urinary reservoir between 2012 and 2018. Pre-, intra-, and postoperative data were collected. Complications were stratified into early (within 90 days) and midterm (90-365 days). The primary outcomes were postoperative complications, and overall and cancer-specific mortality. RESULTS: A total of 137 patients underwent open cystectomy with Indiana pouch creation. Of these, 93% were radical cystectomies. On average, the operation took 422 minutes. There were 53 (39%) patients who experienced any type of complication during the first postoperative year (Clavien II-V). Twenty-five patients (18.2%) readmitted in the early postoperative period vs 18 (13.1%) patients midterm. There were 10 (7.3%) patients that required early reoperation and 11 (8%) in the midterm period. The overall mortality rate was 1.5% early and 3.7% midterm, with the majority of the mortality rate attributed to cancer progression (85.7%). CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing continent catheterizable reservoir urinary diversion appear to have comparable complication rates to other urinary diversions published in the literature. At high-volume urologic institutions, Indiana Pouch creation is a suitable option for select patients desiring a continent diversion.

Multiple novel modalities tasking artificial intelligence based computational pathology applications and integrating other variables, such as risk factors, tumor microenvironment, genomic testing data, laboratory findings, clinical history, and radiology findings, will improve diagnostic consistency and generate a synergistic diagnostic workflow. In this article, we present the concise and contemporary review on the utilization of artificial intelligence in prostate cancer and identify areas for possible future applications.

PURPOSE: Our goal was to evaluate long-term safety and durability of response to UGN-101, a mitomycin-containing reverse thermal gel, as primary chemoablative treatment for low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase 3 trial (NCT02793128), patients ≥18 years of age with primary or recurrent biopsy-proven low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma received 6 once-weekly instillations of UGN-101 via retrograde catheter to the renal pelvis and calyces. Those with complete response (defined as negative ureteroscopic evaluation, negative cytology and negative for-cause biopsy) 4-6 weeks after the last instillation were eligible for up to 11 monthly maintenance instillations and were followed for ≥12 months with quarterly evaluation of response durability. Durability of complete response was determined by ureteroscopic evaluation; duration of response was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were monitored. RESULTS: Of 71 patients who initiated treatment, 41 (58%) had complete response to induction therapy and consented to long-term followup; 23/41 patients (56%) remained in complete response after 12 months (95% CI 40, 72), comprising 6/12 (50%) who did not receive any maintenance instillations and 17/29 (59%) who received ≥1 maintenance instillation. Kaplan-Meier analysis of durability was estimated as 82% (95% CI 66, 91) at 12 months. Ureteric stenosis was the most frequently reported TEAE (31/71, 44%); an increasing number of instillations appeared to be associated with increased incidence of urinary TEAEs. CONCLUSIONS: Durability of response to UGN-101 with or without maintenance treatment is clinically meaningful, offering a kidney-sparing therapeutic alternative for patients with low-grade disease.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the role of blue-light cystoscopy (BLC) in detecting invasive tumours that were not visible on white-light cystoscopy (WLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using the multi-institutional Cysview registry database, patients who had at least one white-light negative (WL-)/blue-light positive (BL+) lesion with invasive pathology (≥T1) as highest stage tumour were identified. All WL-/BL+ lesions and all invasive tumours in the database were used as denominators. Relevant baseline and outcome data were collected. RESULTS: Of the 3514 lesions (1257 unique patients), 818 (23.2%) lesions were WL-/BL+, of those, 55 (7%) lesions were invasive (48 T1, seven T2; 47 unique patients) including 28/55 (51%) de novo invasive lesions (26 unique patients). In all, 21/47 (45%) patients had WL-/BL+ concommitant carcinoma in situ and/or another T1 lesions. Of 22 patients with a WL-/BL+ lesion who underwent radical cystectomy (RC), high-risk pathological features leading to RC was only visible on BLC in 18 (82%) patients. At time of RC, 11/22 (50%) patients had pathological upstaging including four (18%) with node-positive disease. CONCLUSIONS: A considerable proportion of invasive lesions are only detectable by BLC and the rate of pathological upstaging is significant. Our present findings suggest an additional benefit of BLC in the detection of invasive bladder tumours that has implications for treatment approach.

PURPOSE: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) prior to radical cystectomy (RC) in patients with nonmetastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) confers an absolute survival benefit of 5%-10%. There is evidence that molecular differences between tumors may impact response to therapy, highlighting a need for clinically validated biomarkers to predict response to NAC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four bladder cancer cohorts were included. Inverse probability weighting was used to make baseline characteristics (age, sex and clinical tumor stage) between NAC-treated and untreated groups more comparable. Molecular subtypes were determined using a commercial genomic subtyping classifier. Survival rates were estimated using weighted Kaplan-Meier curves. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the primary and secondary study end points of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival, respectively. RESULTS: A total of 601 patients with MIBC were included, of whom 247 had been treated with NAC and RC, and 354 underwent RC without NAC. With NAC, the overall net benefit to OS and cancer-specific survival at 3 years was 7% and 5%, respectively. After controlling for clinicopathological variables, nonluminal tumors had greatest benefit from NAC, with 10% greater OS at 3 years (71% vs 61%), while luminal tumors had minimal benefit (63% vs 65%) for NAC vs non-NAC. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with MIBC, a commercially available molecular subtyping assay revealed nonluminal tumors received the greatest benefit from NAC, while patients with luminal tumors experienced a minimal survival benefit. A genomic classifier may help identify patients with MIBC who would benefit most from NAC.
