About This Trial

A single-arm, prospective, exploratory clinical trial to explore the pathological complete response (pCR) rate of immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with antibody conjugate drugs as the perioperative treatment of platinum-intolerant bladder cancer patients. Fifty-five patients with clinically or pathologically confirmed muscle-invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma (MIBC) who were ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy or refused cisplatin-based chemotherapy were enrolled. Each subject will receive RC48-ADC and toripalimab intravenously every 2 weeks for a total of 4 cycles before surgery, 8 cycles after surgery. The efficacy was evaluated and followed up after 4 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy, 3 months postoperative, and every 3-6 months thereafter. The primary endpoint of this study was pathological complete response rate (pCR). The secondary endpoints were to explore the safety, disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) of RC48 combined with toripalimab neoadjuvant therapy followed by radical cystectomy.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Bladder Cancer, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 55 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Bladder Cancer subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
