EFFORT-MIBC: Evaluating the Impact of FDG-PET-CT on Risk Stratification and Treatment Adaptation for Patients With Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To evaluate the impact of 18F-FDG-PET-CT on the staging of patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Based on the results of 2 18F-FDG-PET-CT's patients are stratified in non-metastatic, oligometastatic and polymetastatic bladder cancer patients and the treatment is adapted accordingly to improve overall survival.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Only patients presenting with non-metastatic MIBC on conventional CT scan are eligible for the trial.
Additionally, 2 18F FDG-PET-CT scans per patient will be performed, prior and after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. All patients will have a radical treatment to the bladder either by radical cystectomy or trimodality therapy.
In case of diagnosis of oligometastatic disease on 1 of both FDG-PET-CT's, a metastasis directed therapy to the oligometastatic sites will be added.
In case of polymetastatic disease on FDG-PET-CT, additional immunotherapy will be administered (this is standard of care after chemotherapy failure)
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: non-metastatic MIBC on PET-CT patients receive classical treatment with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy (RC) or trimodality therapy (TMT) and regular follow up |
|
Experimental: oligo-metastatic MIBC on PET-CT patients receive classical treatment with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by RC or trimodality therapy TMT and metastasis-directed therapy followed by regular follow up |
Radiation: metastasis directed therapy (MDT)
MDT in case of oligometastases
|
Experimental: poly-metastatic MIBC on PET-CT patients receive classical treatment with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by RC or trimodality therapy TMT and start of immunotherapy followed by regular follow up |
Drug: Immunotherapy
immunotherapy in the setting of polymetastatic disease
