Run by AstraZeneca · NCT07720284 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether Dato-DXd plus rilvegostomig can improve outcomes after high-risk bladder/upper tract urothelial cancer surgery compared with standard care.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (>18) with histologically confirmed high-risk MIUC who recently had R0 radical resection and meet specific pathologic and health criteria, including ECOG 0–1 and adequate organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients with residual disease, contraindications to either study drug, or poor prognosis may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This phase 3, open-label trial compares a combination therapy (Dato-DXd with rilvegostomig) to standard-of-care in adults with high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma who have completed radical resection with no detectable disease. Participants are randomized to receive the investigational regimen or standard therapies, with treatment cycles every 2–3 weeks in the experimental arms and tailored intervals in the control arm, for up to about 12 months. The study emphasizes safety and efficacy outcomes, with central testing on archival tumor tissue and eligibility defined by resection status and performance status. Conduct sites are in Arkansas, led by AstraZeneca with Daiichi Sankyo collaboration.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience longer disease-free periods and potentially better overall outcomes after high-risk MIUC.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in urothelial cancer have explored antibody-drug conjugates and ICIs in adjuvant settings, but this exact combination is being studied anew.

8. An archival surgical tumour sample must be available pre-randomisation for central testing.
9. Adequate organ and bone marrow function within 28 days before randomisation.

Exclusion criteria:

17. Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days prior to treatment assignment/randomisation.
18. Known history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to any study drug
19. Not eligible to receive at least one of SoC according to local regulations/approvals.
20. Currently pregnant (confirmed with positive pregnancy test), breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant.
