This single arm, phase II study investigated two cycles of atezolizumab (1200mg given every 3 weeks) prior to RC in MIBC(T2-4aN0M0) (NCT02662309)….The pCR rate was 31% (27/88) [95%CI:21%-41%] in the treated population, meeting the primary endpoint of the study, and was 37% (13/35) [95%CI: 21-55%] in the PD-L1 positive population....Neoadjuvant atezolizumab in patient with MIBC who were ineligible or refused neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy confers meaningful clinical responses and is associated with high rates of relapse-free and overall survival.
