Abstract

Summary Background There are few effective treatments for advanced urothelial carcinoma after progression following platinum-based chemotherapy. We assessed the activity and safety of nivolumab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who progressed after prior platinum-based therapy. Methods This phase 1/2 multicentre open-label study enrolled patients aged ≥18 years with urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, or urethra unselected by programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1). Tumour PD-L1 membrane expression was assessed. Patients received nivolumab 3 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks until disease progression or study treatment discontinuation, whichever occurred later. The primary endpoint was objective response rate by investigator assessment. All patients who received at least one dose of any study medication were analysed. Here we report an interim analysis of this ongoing trial. CheckMate 032 is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01928394. Findings Between June 2014 and April 2015, 86 patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma were enrolled and 78 were treated with nivolumab monotherapy. At data cutoff (March 24, 2016), minimum follow-up was 9 months. A confirmed investigator-assessed objective response was achieved in 19 (24·4%) of 78 patients (95% CI 15·3–35·4). Grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 17 (21·8%) of 78 patients, the most common being laboratory abnormalities: asymptomatic elevated lipase in four (5·1%) and asymptomatic elevated amylase three (3·8%) patients. Serious adverse events were reported in 36 (46·2%) of 78 patients. Two (2·6%) of 78 patients discontinued due to treatment-related adverse events (pneumonitis and thrombocytopenia) and subsequently died. Interpretation Nivolumab monotherapy was associated with significant and durable clinical responses and a manageable safety profile in previously treated patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. These data indicate a favourable benefit:risk profile for nivolumab and support further investigation of nivolumab monotherapy in advanced urothelial carcinoma.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
