Study summary

A study of the efficacy and safety of probiotics in immunotherapy of urothelial carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the progression free survival of intestinal probiotics in immunotherapy for urothelial carcinoma. Changes in fecal flora abundance before and after treatment were assessed to identify subjects most likely to benefit from enteric probiotics treatment.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time from randomness to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause.

    Time frame: up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration of Response (DOR)

    The time from the first judgment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to the discovery of progressive disease (PD).

    Time frame: up to 3 years

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Defined as the number of days from study entry to death. Individuals who are alive at last contact will be censored on the date of last contact.

    Time frame: up to 3 years

  3. Serious Adverse Event (SAE)

    The adverse events that occurred in the study were difficult to manage.

    Time frame: up to 3 years

  4. Overall response rate (ORR)

    defined as the proportion of patients who have a partial or complete response to therapy.

    Time frame: up to 3 years

  5. Disease control rate (DCR)

    The percentage of cases with remission and lesion stability after treatment in the number of evaluable cases.

    Time frame: up to 3 years

Other outcomes

  1. 16s rDNA sequencing

    Identify the subgroups that are most likely to benefit from intestinal probiotic therapy.

    Time frame: up to 3 years
