IMvigor211

Atezolizumab versus chemotherapy in patients with platinum-treated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (IMvigor211)

Phase 3N = 931NCT02302807

Population
Metastatic urothelial carcinoma that progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy
Design
Multicentre, open-label phase 3 randomised trial; 1:1 to atezolizumab 1200 mg or physician's choice of vinflunine, paclitaxel or docetaxel every 3 weeks, stratified by PD-L1 expression on immune cells, chemotherapy type, liver metastases and number of prognostic factors. Primary endpoint overall survival, tested hierarchically in the IC2/3 population, then IC1/2/3, then the intention-to-treat population.

Arms
  • Atezolizumab (experimental, n = 467): Atezolizumab 1200 mg every 3 weeks
  • Chemotherapy (control, n = 464): Vinflunine 320 mg/m2, paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 or docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks
