TerminatedPhase 3

A Study of Atezolizumab Versus Observation as Adjuvant Therapy in Participants With High-Risk Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma (UC) After Surgical Resection

Stopped: Sponsor decided to terminate the study early because the study did not meet its primary endpoint and because the study had met its goals of providing safety and additional exploratory efficacy information for atezolizumab monotherapy in MIBC.

Plain-language summary

This Phase III, open-label, randomized, multicenter study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant treatment with atezolizumab compared with observation in participants with muscle-invasive UC who are at high risk for recurrence following resection. Eligible participants were randomized by a 1:1 ratio into atezolizumab group or control group.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed muscle-invasive UC (also termed transitional cell carcinoma) of the bladder or upper urinary tract (i.e., renal pelvis or ureters) * For participants treated with prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy: tumor stage of ypT2-4a or ypN+ (ypT2-4 or ypN+ for participants with upper urinary tract UC) and M0 * For participants who have not received prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy: tumor stage of pT3-4a or pN+ (pT3-4 or pN+ for participants with upper urinary tract UC) and M0 * Representative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor specimens from surgical resection (i.e., radical cystectomy, nephroureterectomy, or lymph node dissection) in paraffin blocks (blocks preferred) or at least 15 unstained slides, with an associated pathology report, for central testing and determined to be evaluable for tumor programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression prior to study enrollment * Absence of residual disease and absence of metastasis, as confirmed by a negative baseline computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging scan of the pelvis, abdomen, and chest no more than 4 weeks prior to randomization * Full recovery from cystectomy or nephroureterectomy within 14 weeks following surgery * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of less than or equal to (\</=) 2 * Life expectancy greater than or equal to (\>/=) 12 weeks * Adequate hematologic and end-organ function * For women who are not postmenopausal or surgically sterile: agreement…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
