Prognosis of Patients With Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma Receiving Kidney-sparing Therapy

January 10, 2024 updated by: RenJi Hospital

A Multicenter, Prospective, Observational Clinical Study to Evaluate the Prognosis of Patients With Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma Receiving Kidney-sparing Therapy

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare malignant disease which accounts for 5-10% of urothelial carcinoma in the western world and 9%-30% in China. About two thirds of patients have muscle invasive disease at diagnosis. Those patients usually have poor prognosis. The 5 year cancer specific survival is <50% for pT2/T3 and <10% for pT4. Radical nephroureterectomy is the standardized treatment for non-metastatic high risk UTUC. However, about half patients may suffer from impaired renal function after nephroureterectomy. On the other hand, kidney sparing surgery can avoid renal function impairment, but the therapy is only recommended for few patients with low-risk disease. The treatment for urothelial carcinoma has changed rapidly in the past few years. Immune checkpoint inhibitors and novel agents such as ADCs have shown promising therapeutic effect and were approved for patients with metastatic UTUC. Meanwhile, a recent study shows that patients with high-risk disease can also receive kidney sparing surgery without compromising cancer specific survival and overall survival. This prospective, observational study aims to evaluate the prognosis of contemporary kidney sparing surgery in patients with UTUC with or without perioperative therapy in the real world.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The patients that meet the Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria will enroll into this observational trial. The therapeutic schedule is purposed to spare the kidney of non-metastatic primary UTUC patients.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Patients with non-metastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma receiving kidney-sparing therapy
The enrolled patients were patients with limited-stage or locally advanced UTUC, who were classified into the following four categories according to the 2022 EAU guidelines as low-risk and high-risk: 1) low-risk patients who were willing to undergo kidney-sparing surgery directly; 2) High-risk patients, with solitary kidney, functional single kidney, bilateral tumors, and absolute kidney-sparing indications; 3) High-risk patients with renal insufficiency, or diseases that lead to renal insufficiency, have relative indications for kidney protection; 4) High-risk patients with good renal function, but a particularly strong willingness to preserve the kidney, willing to accept clinical studies and participate in kidney preservation.
Other: Observational
This is a prospective observational study with observation only and no intervention

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Two-year events-free survival rate
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
events-free survival defined as time from initiation of first protocol therapy until the first time to develop any local recurrence (local/bladder), distant metastases or any cause-related death.
Up to 2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
defined as time from initiation for protocol therapy to death.
Up to 2 years
Metastasis free surviva
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
metastasis free survival defined as time from initiation of protocol therapy until the development of distal metastasis or death
Up to 2 years

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
