TPS531 Background: Pembrolizumab leads to responses in ~20% of metastatic bladder cancer patients. Irradiation of bladder cancer cells in-vitro and in-vivo leads to upregulation of PD-L1, and in immunocompetent mouse models blockade of PD-L1 leads to delayed tumour growth following irradiation. Randomised data from PACIFIC trial in NSCLC shows the addition of PD-L1 inhibition to chemoradiation significantly prolongs PFS. A trial of chemoradiotherapy with pembrolizumab will assess safety and synergy of the combination in localised bladder cancer. Methods: This pilot study enrols patients with maximally resected non-metastatic muscle invasive bladder cancer, who either wish for bladder preservation or are ineligible for cystectomy. This study will assess the safety and feasibility of combining pembrolizumab with chemoradiotherapy in ECOG 0-1 patients without contraindications to pembrolizumab. The study has enrolled 4 of a planned 30 patients. All patients treated with 64Gy of radiation therapy in 32 fractions over 6 weeks, 2 days. Cisplatin 35mg/m2 IV concurrently weekly for 6 doses with radiation. Pembrolizumab commences concurrently with radiation and is given 200mg IV q21 days for 7 doses. Surveillance cystoscopy is performed 12 & 24 weeks after the commencement of chemoradiotherapy to assess response to therapy. Patients will enter follow up with clinical assessment, cystoscopy and CT staging performed at intervals until close of study. The primary endpoint assessed will be safety, as defined by a satisfactorily low rate of unacceptable toxicity (G3-4 adverse events or failure of completion of planned chemotherapy and radiotherapy according to defined parameters). The secondary endpoint will be efficacy, as assessed by the proportion of patients achieving a best response of complete response based on the first two 12 and 24 week post chemoradiotherapy cystoscopic assessments. Exploratory analysis will include assessment of tumour histopathological, molecular, genetic and immunological parameters. It is expected that it will take two years to accrue the 30 patients across 5 Australian centres. NCT02662062. Clinical trial information: NCT02662062.

Purpose Patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer recurrence after 2 induction courses of BCG are eligible for radical cystectomy. So, in the last years research to discover new drugs for the management of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer recurrence after failure of first and second line therapy is ongoing. In accordance to the results obtained with BCG, whose mechanism depends on the induction of the T helper 1 (TH1) immune response, we investigated the activity of a Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 ligand, named Helicobacter Pylori Neutrophil Activating Protein (HP-NAP), that we recently demonstrated being able of enhancing the differentiation of Th1 cells, both in vitro and in vivo, because of its ability to create an IL-12 enriched milieu. Materials and Methods We show here, in a mouse model of bladder neoplasm implants, that local administration of HP-NAP decreases tumor growth by inducing tumor necrosis. Results The result is joined up with a massive cluster of both CD4+ and CD8+ IFN-γ+ cells, within neoplasm and regional lymph nodes. It is of note that HP-NAP-treated tumors show also a reduced vascularization due to the anti-angiogenic activity of IFN-γ induced by HP-NAP. Conclusions The present study suggests that the activity of HP-NAP against urothelial tumor burden warrants subsequent in vivo studies.

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a fast-growing and aggressive malignant tumor in urinary system. Since chemotherapy and immunotherapy are only useable with a few MIBC patients, the clinical treatment of MIBC still faces challenges. Here, we examined the feasibility of plasma-activated saline (PAS) as a fledgling therapeutic strategy for MIBC treatment. Our data showed that plasma irradiation could generate a variety of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in saline. In vivo tests revealed that pericarcinomatous tissue injection with PAS was effective at preventing subcutaneous bladder tumor growth, with no side effects to the visceral organs after long-term administration, as well as having no obvious influence on the various biochemistry indices of the blood in mice. The in vitro studies indicated that adding 30% PAS in cell culture media causes oxidative damage to the bladder transitional cells T24 and J82 through enhancing the intracellular ROS level, and eventually induces cancer cells’ apoptosis by activating the ROS-mediated Fas/CD95 pathway. Therefore, for an intracavity tumor, these initial observations suggest that the soaking of the tumor tissue with PAS by intravesical perfusion may be a novel treatment option for bladder cancer.

According to estimates, there were 17,670 bladder cancer-associated deaths in the USA by 2019. Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) instillation is used to treat non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). However, more than 40% of BCG administration cases fail to avoid NMIBC relapse and progression. Our aim is to use synthesized GO derivatives to enable the transport of doxorubicin (DOX), a conventional cancer drug, and siRNA to reduce VEGF. Several platforms were tested, and their effects on NMIBC progression were assessed in vivo based on histo- and immune analyses. siRNA and GO were covalently bonds to polyethyleneimine (PEI) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) (GO-PEG-PEI/siRNA). DOX bond to oxidized GO was also synthesized. Hybrids were administered in vivo (rats) against NMIBC. Histopathology results have shown that hybrids have reduced bladder cancer. The GO-COOH-DOX/GO-PEG-PEI/siRNA potentiated tumor aggressiveness (60%) reduction in animals that did not show signs of lesions. Immunohistochemistry results have shown that the GO hybrid reduced VEGF expression, increased endostatin levels, and low p53 levels were observed. Data analyzed in the current study have shown that hybrid graphene oxides were capable of reducing VEGF expression and have great potential to treat NMIBC.
