Background:

This single-arm phase II trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvent disitamab vedotin (DV, a HER2-targetted monoclonal antibody conjugated with monomethyl auristatin E) plus perioperative toripalimab (an anti-PD-1 inhibitor) in MIBC patients (pts) with HER2 expression. The preliminary results showed promising efficacy and acceptable safety with neoadjuvant treatment with DV plus toripalimab in pts with HER2-expressing MIBC (Sheng, et al. ASCO Annual meeting 2024).

Methods:

Key eligibility criteria included previously untreated MIBC (cT2-4aN0-1M0) with HER2 expression (immunohistochemistry [IHC] ≥1+ by local test), and eligible for curative-intent radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection (RC+PLND). Pts received DV (2 mg/kg) plus toripalimab (3 mg/kg) every 2 weeks for 6 cycles at neoadjuvant phase. After RC+PLND, pts received adjuvant toripalimab (3 mg/kg every 2 weeks) for up to 20 cycles. The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR, ypT0N0) rate assessed by the investigators; secondary endpoints included pathological response rate (≤ypT1N0M0), overall survival, safety, etc. Here we present the updated efficacy and safety results and post-hoc event-free survival (EFS) analysis with data cutoff date (DCO) of September, 2024.

Results:

As of DCO, patient enrollment was completed with 47 pts enrolled and treated (including 10.6% pts with HER2 IHC 1+, 57.4% IHC 2+, and 31.9% IHC 3+; 83.0% pts at baseline…
