Measure
Durvalumab + Tremelimumab
The treatment consisted of initial TUR of the tumor, with multiple random biopsies of normal-appearing bladder urothelium, followed by durvalumab 1500 mg i.v. plus tremelimumab 75 mg i.v., every 4 weeks for a total of 3 doses. Durvalumab: All patients will receive durvalumab (MEDI4736) (1500mg Q4W) in combination with tremelimumab (75 mg IV Q4W) for up to 3 doses/cycles each, unless there is unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or another discontinuation criterion is met. If a patient's weight falls to 30kg or below the patient should receive weight-based dosing equivalent to 20 mg/kg of durvalumab Q4W and 1mg/kg tremelimumab Q4W until the weight improves to \>30 kg, at which point the patient should start receiving the fixed dosing of durvalumab 1500mg plus tremelimumab 75 mg Q4W. Tremelimumab: All patients will receive durvalumab (MEDI4736) (1500mg Q4W) in combination with tremelimumab (75 mg IV Q4W) for up to 3 doses/cycles each, unless there is unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or another discontinuation criterion is met. If a patient's weight falls to 30kg or below the patient should receive weight-based dosing equivalent to 20 mg/kg of durvalumab Q4W and 1mg/kg tremelimumab Q4W until the weight improves to \>30 kg, at which point the patient should start receiving the fixed dosing of durvalumab 1500mg plus tremelimumab 75 mg Q4W. Radiotherapy 46 Gy to the minor pelvis and 64-66 Gy to the bladder.
