Abstract

This phase 2 trial randomised 120 patients with localised muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) to test if addition of nintedanib to neoadjuvant cisplatin-gemcitabine chemotherapy improved the pathological complete response (pCR) in comparison to chemotherapy plus placebo [1]. There was an a priori option to transform the trial to a phase 3 design if the primary outcome was met. After 33.5 mo of follow-up, the pCR rate did not significantly differ between the two treatment groups (odds ratio [OR] 1.25, 70% confidence interval [CI] 0.84–1.87; p = 0.28). However, a post hoc analysis revealed that overall survival (OS) was better in the nintedanib arm (hazard ratio 0.45, 95% CI 0.21–0.98; p = 0.038).
