Background: Although multiple single-arm clinical trials have shown promising pathologic complete response (pCR) rates with neoadjuvant ICIs combined with gemcitabine plus cisplatin in MIBC, lymph node‐positive bladder cancer is generally excluded. Our specific aim was to compare the efficacy and prognosis of neoadjuvant tislelizumab combined with gemcitabine plus cisplatin in patients with lymph node‐positive bladder cancer. Methods: In this single arm phase II study, eligible patients had cT2-T4a N+ M0 MIBC, cisplatin-eligible, and to be planned radical cystectomy (RC). Patients received tislelizumab 200 mg in day D8, cisplatin 70 mg/m² D2, and gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² D1 and D8 every 21 days for 3 or 4 cycles. RC was performed within 6 weeks after last dose treatment. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR, ypT0). Secondary endpoints included pathologic downstaging ( < ypT2), EFS, OS and safety. Results: By Jan 2023, 17 eligible pts (2cT2, 10 cT3, 5 cT4) were enrolled. 14 pts have completed neoadjuvant therapy, with median age of 67 (60-81) years, among whom 10 pts underwent RC and two declined RC. According to RECIST 1.1, 6 pts achieved a clinical complete response (cCR)(6/14,42.8%). Pathological results revealed 5 pCR (ypT0N0, 50%), 3 ypT1N0, and 2 ypT2/T3N0. A complete nodal response (pN0) occurred in 10 (100%) pts post- tislelizumab +chemotherapy and 8 ( < ypT2N0,80%) pts achieved pathologic downstaging. Most common neoadjuvant therapy related AEs of any grade were hematologic toxicities (11/14,78.5%), nausea (9/14,64.2%), vomiting (8/14,57.1%), decreased appetite (6/14,42.8%), fatigue (4/14,28.5%), pruritus (3/14,21.4%) and ALT/AST increased (4/14,28.5%). Grade ≥3 neoadjuvant therapy related AEs were neutropenia (n = 3), thrombocytopenia (n = 2), anemia (n = 2). One patient discontinued GC plus tislelizumab due to AEs. Conclusions: Patients with clinically lymph node‐positive bladder cancer have significant pN0 after neoadjuvant therapy. Neoadjuvant tislelizumab plus gemcitabine/cisplatin was feasible and provided meaningful pathologic responses in lymph node‐positive bladder cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT04570410.
