Brief Summary:
This open-label, randomised, multicentre, phase 2 study (OHAI-NMIBC-01) compares toripalimab plus sequential intravesical gemcitabine followed by mitomycin C (GEM→MMC) with toripalimab alone in adults with BCG-unresponsive or BCG-intolerant high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC). Two prespecified cohorts are analysed: (1) CIS cohort (CIS with/without Ta/T1) and (2) non-CIS cohort (high-risk Ta/T1 without CIS). In the combination arm, intravesical GEM→MMC is given weekly for 6 weeks (induction) and, for patients without recurrence at the first tumour assessment (\~month 3), monthly maintenance continues up to 24 months or until progression/unacceptable toxicity; toripalimab IV every 3 weeks starts during the first intravesical cycle and continues up to 24 months or until progression/unacceptable toxicity. The monotherapy arm receives toripalimab IV every 3 weeks up to 24 months or until progression/unacceptable toxicity. Cystoscopy and urine cytology are performed every 3 months; imaging every 24 weeks. Primary endpoints are 3-month complete response (CR) rate in the CIS cohort and median recurrence-free survival (RFS) in the non-CIS cohort. Secondary endpoints include landmark CR, PFS and OS, RFS/HG-RFS landmarks in the non-CIS cohort, and safety (CTCAE v5.0). Exploratory analyses will assess outcomes by protocol-defined PD-L1 status. Approximately 106 participants will be enrolled at multiple sites in China.
Detailed Description:
Rationale and Objectives. A substantial proportion of HR-NMIBC patients are BCG-unresponsive or BCG-intolerant and face early high-grade recurrence and consideration of cystectomy. This trial evaluates whether adding sequential intravesical chemotherapy (gemcitabine followed by mitomycin C in the same visit) to systemic PD-1 blockade (toripalimab) improves outcomes versus toripalimab alone.
Design. Prospective, open-label, randomised (1:1), parallel-group, phase 2 study at multiple centres in China. Treatment continues until recurrence/progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal, or completion of 24 months.
Interventions.
Arm A (Combination): Toripalimab 240 mg IV every 3 weeks (Q3W) up to 24 months plus intravesical GEM→MMC: gemcitabine 1,000 mg retained \~60 min and drained, then mitomycin C 40 mg retained \~60 min; administered weekly for 6 weeks (induction) and then maintenance every 4 weeks (Q4W) up to month 24 if no high-grade recurrence.
Arm B (Monotherapy): Toripalimab 240 mg IV Q3W up to 24 months.
Assessments. Cystoscopy and urine cytology at months 3, 6, 9, 12 and every 3 months thereafter; abdominopelvic/upper-tract CT or MRI every 24 weeks; routine laboratory tests prior to dosing/instillation. (Exploratory tissue/urine/blood sampling may be performed per protocol.)
Primary Endpoints.
CIS cohort: CR rate at month 3 (proportion). CR is met by any of the following protocol-specified scenarios indicating no high-grade bladder disease: (a) negative urine cytology and negative cystoscopy; (b) negative cytology with cystoscopic lesions that are benign or low-grade Ta on biopsy; or (c) negative cystoscopy with positive cytology attributed to tumour in the upper tract or prostatic urethra and random bladder biopsies negative.
Non-CIS cohort: Median RFS, defined as time from start of treatment to high-grade Ta recurrence, any T1, or new CIS. Recurrence requires cystoscopic suspicion confirmed by histopathology; if cytology becomes positive prior to histologic confirmation, the recurrence date is set at the first positive cytology once recurrence is subsequently confirmed.
Secondary Endpoints.
CIS cohort: CR rates at months 6, 12, 18, and 24; PFS rates at the same landmarks (progression defined as lamina propria invasion from Ta/CIS to T1, progression to ≥T2, or new nodal/distant metastasis); OS at month 24, EOT+6 months, and EOT+12 months; incidence of adverse events (AEs).
Non-CIS cohort: RFS rates at months 6, 12, 18, and 24; high-grade RFS (HG-RFS) rates at the same landmarks (high-grade recurrence defined as Tis or Ta/T1 high-grade, or muscle-invasive disease at TURBT or cystectomy); PFS rates at months 6/12/18/24; OS at month 24, EOT+6 months, and EOT+12 months; AE incidence.
Exploratory Endpoints.
CIS cohort: 3-month CR rate in PD-L1-positive and PD-L1-negative subgroups (per protocol-specified assay and criteria; no prespecified CPS threshold).
Non-CIS cohort: Median RFS in PD-L1-positive and PD-L1-negative subgroups (recurrence definitions as above).
Sample Size and Oversight. Approximately 106 participants will be randomised 1:1. Safety will be monitored throughout; a Data Monitoring Committee oversees participant protection and study conduct.

Non-CIS cohort: RFS rates at months 6, 12, 18, and 24; high-grade RFS (HG-RFS) rates at the same landmarks (high-grade recurrence defined as Tis or Ta/T1 high-grade, or muscle-invasive disease at TURBT or cystectomy); PFS rates at months 6/12/18/24; OS at month 24, EOT+6 months, and EOT+12 months; AE incidence.
