Clinical Complete Response (CCR) Rate Primary · 24 months

Clinical complete response rate will be defined as the percentage of patients who achieved cT0 or cTa disease after gemcitabine, cisplatin, plus nivolumab.

Predict Benefit From Treatment Primary · 24 months

Determine the ability of clinical complete response (cT0 or cTa) to predict benefit from treatment.Benefit will be defined as a pathologic complete response (\<pT1) in patients undergoing cystectomy and 2 year metastasis-free in patients pursuing surveillance. The positive predictive value of CCR with 95% confidence interval are presented in Outcome Measure Data Table. Positive predictive value is the ratio of patients truly diagnosed as positive to all those who had positive test results.

Sponsor's own description

This is a phase 2 trial seeking to define the safety and activity of gemcitabine, cisplatin, plus nivolumab as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer and to define the role of clinical complete response in predicting benefit in patients opting to avoid cystectomy.
