Résumé
Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is often locally advanced at initial diagnosis and is associated with high recurrence and mortality rates after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy has shown a recurrence-free survival benefit in a randomised phase III trial, while neoadjuvant treatment seems promising in retrospective series. On the contrary, little is known about the role of perioperative immunotherapy and its combination with chemotherapy for UTUC patients, although initial positive results have been published for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Against this backdrop, we are running a multi-centre single-arm phase 2 trial of neoadjuvant Durvalumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death ligand 1, combined with Gemcitabine and Cisplatin or Carboplatin for high-risk UTUC patients. The primary outcome is pathological complete response rate at RNU. Secondary endpoints include the partial pathological response rate, safety, as well as disease-free and overall survival. A biomarker analysis is also planned. Included patients must have a good performance status and harbour a non-metastatic UTUC, considered at high risk of progression, defined as either biopsy-proven high-grade disease or invasive features at imaging with or, more recently, without high-grade cytology at the multidisciplinary team discretion, as specified in the latest amendment. Enrolled patients receive 3 cycles of neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy before RNU, and the standard of care thereafter. The trial is registered as NCT04617756 and is supervised by an independent data monitoring committee.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is often locally advanced at initial diagnosis and is associated with high recurrence and mortality rates after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy has shown a recurrence-free survival benefit in a randomised phase III trial, while neoadjuvant treatment seems promising in retrospective series. On the contrary, little is known about the role of perioperative immunotherapy and its combination with chemotherapy for UTUC patients, although initial positive results have been published for muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
STUDY DESIGN AND ENDPOINTS
UNASSIGNED
Against this backdrop, we are running a multi-centre single-arm phase 2 trial of neoadjuvant Durvalumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death ligand 1, combined with Gemcitabine and Cisplatin or Carboplatin for high-risk UTUC patients. The primary outcome is pathological complete response rate at RNU. Secondary endpoints include the partial pathological response rate, safety, as well as disease-free and overall survival. A biomarker analysis is also planned.
PATIENTS AND INTERVENTIONS
METHODS
Included patients must have a good performance status and harbour a non-metastatic UTUC, considered at high risk of progression, defined as either biopsy-proven high-grade disease or invasive features at imaging with or, more recently, without high-grade cytology at the multidisciplinary team discretion, as specified in the latest amendment. Enrolled patients receive 3 cycles of neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy before RNU, and the standard of care thereafter. The trial is registered as NCT04617756 and is supervised by an independent data monitoring committee.
