About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of durvalumab (1500 mg iv for 13 cycles every four weeks (q4w) + BCG (induction and maintenance) combination therapy by assessment of Grade 3/4 PRAEs in high-risk NMIBC participants.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 18 years at the time of screening.

Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply:
    • Women < 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy);
    • Women ≥ 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses > 1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses > 1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of muscle-invasive, locally advanced, metastatic, and/or extra-vesical bladder cancer (i.e., T2, T3, T4, and / or Stage IV).
  • Predominantly variant histology such as micropapillary, plasmacytoid, nested, sarcomatoid, microcystic, squamous and adeno variants of UC representing > 50% of tumor tissue or other than urothelial tumors as assessed by pathology.
  • Evidence of lymphovascular invasion of bladder tumor, except if treatment with BCG is deemed to be the only clinically viable treatment (ie, clinical candidates of cystectomy and/or chemotherapy, etc are excluded).
  • Immediate cystectomy is indicated.
  • Known or documented absolute and/or relative contraindication of adjuvant intravesical BCG treatment.
  • Concurrent extravesical (ie, urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis), non-muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium.
  • Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff and/or staff at the study site).
  • Previous treatment in the present study.
  • Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an interventional study.
  • Participation in another clinical study with a study intervention during the last 28 days or 5 half-lives of the respective study intervention, whichever is longer, prior to study enrollment.
  • Any concurrent chemotherapy, study intervention, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for noncancer-related conditions (eg, hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable. Chemotherapy for previous instances of NMIBC is acceptable:
    • Participants who have received a single instillation of mitomycin C or equivalent chemotherapy agent immediately after TURBT can be enrolled in the study.
  • Previous or concurrent treatment with potent systemic immunostimulatory agents (ie, systemic use of interleukins, interferons, glatiramer or similar agents).
  • Major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator) within 28 days prior to enrollment or major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator) anticipated to be needed during the course of the study. These cases should be discussed with AstraZeneca physician prior to excluding participants.

Participants with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody and absence of HBsAg) are eligible. Participants positive for hepatitis C antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA. Participants co-infected with HBV and HCV, or co-infected with HBV and HDV, namely: HBV positive (presence of HBsAg and/or anti-hepatitis B core antibody with detectable HBV DNA); AND
    • HCV positive (presence of anti-HCV antibodies); OR

  • Prior enrollment or treatment in a previous durvalumab clinical study regardless of treatment group assignment.
  • Signs or symptoms of localized bladder infection or urinary tract infection within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention. This includes all active bacterial infections until documented as clear of infection by urinalysis after an adequate course of antibiotic therapy.
  • Treatment with therapeutic oral or iv antibiotics within 1 week prior to the start of treatment with BCG.
  • Judgement by the Investigator that the participant is unsuitable to participate in the study and the participant is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria may apply.
