This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant trastuzumab rezetecan combined with adebrelimab for the treatment of HER2-positive muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Bladder cancer is an aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis, ranking 13th globally in cancer incidence and first among urological tumors in China, with an increasing trend observed in urban cancer surveillance. Traditional treatments, including radical cystectomy and platinum-based chemotherapy, have limitations such as chemotherapy resistance and reduced postoperative quality of life. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have become research hotspots. This prospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical study aims to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab Rezetecan combined with Adebrelimab as neoadjuvant therapy for HER2-expressing muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). A total of 58 eligible patients will be enrolled. The study includes screening, neoadjuvant treatment, and follow-up periods. During screening, untreated HER2-expressing MIBC patients eligible for radical surgery will be enrolled, with the period from informed consent to first dose not exceeding 28 days. The neoadjuvant treatment consists of Trastuzumab Rezetecan 3.2 mg/kg Q3W and Adebrelimab 1200 mg Q3W for three cycles. Patients will undergo imaging and surgical assessment 3-4 weeks after the last neoadjuvant treatment; those meeting surgical criteria will receive either transurethral resection or radical cystectomy. In the follow-up period, patients who proceed to surgery after neoadjuvant treatment will undergo postoperative safety monitoring and long-term survival follow-up.

Trastuzumab Rezetecan 3.2 mg/kg, Q3W, in combination with Adebrelimab 1200 mg, Q3W, for a total of 3 cycles. Subjects will undergo preoperative imaging and surgical eligibility assessment at 3-4 weeks after the last dose of neoadjuvant therapy. Those who meet the surgical criteria will receive either transurethral resection or radical resection.
Pathological Complete Response
Assessed by pathological evaluation of resected bladder cancer specimens after neoadjuvant therapy, defined as the proportion of patients with no residual tumor (pT0N0).
Time frame: Assessed post-surgery (radical cystectomy or TURBT) on resected tumor specimens after neoadjuvant therapy. Measured postoperatively, up to approximately 4 months after treatment start.
Clinical Complete Response Rate
Assessed by preoperative imaging (CT/MRI) and urine cytology after neoadjuvant therapy, defined as the proportion of patients with no residual tumor on imaging, negative urine cytology, and no evidence of nodal or distant metastasis.
Time frame: Assessed by preoperative imaging and surgical evaluation at 3-4 weeks after the last neoadjuvant dose. Up to approximately 4 months after treatment start.
Pathological Downstaging Rate
Assessed by postoperative pathological staging, defined as the proportion of patients with ypT \< T2 and ypN = N0 after neoadjuvant therapy.
Time frame: Assessed simultaneously with pCR on postoperative pathological staging. Up to approximately 4 months after treatment start.
Event-Free Survival
Time from first dose to first occurrence of disease progression, recurrence, second primary tumor, or death from any cause.
Time frame: Time from treatment start to first occurrence of disease progression, recurrence, second primary tumor, or death. Continuously assessed during follow-up, maximum follow-up of 36 months.
Overall Survival
Time from first dose to death from any cause.
Time frame: Time from treatment start to death from any cause. Continuously assessed, maximum follow-up of 36 months.

QoL Score
Assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 V3.0 patient-reported questionnaire at screening, each treatment cycle, end of treatment, and follow-up visits.
Time frame: Assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 V3.0 at screening, Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (3 cycles), pre-surgery, post-surgery q30d ×3, then q3m (Year 1) and q6m (Years 2-3), up to 36 months.
Adverse event incidence
AEs and laboratory abnormalities graded by NCI CTCAE v6.0; SAEs recorded separately; surgical endpoints (feasibility, delay/cancellation rate, procedure change, operation duration) collected from postoperative clinical records and surgical logs.
Time frame: AEs/SAEs/lab abnormalities collected from informed consent to 30 days post-last dose (safety follow-up). Surgical endpoints assessed postoperatively. Only treatment-related SAEs collected during survival follow-up, up to 36 months.
Exploratory Biomarkers
Blood and tumor tissue samples collected at baseline, during treatment, and at end of treatment to assess PD-L1, HER2, and other markers for correlation with efficacy (e.g., pCR, EFS).
Time frame: Blood and tumor samples at baseline, C2D1, C3D1 (21-day cycles), at progression, and at EOT (after 3 cycles/pre-surgery). Max collection ~4 months; no routine survival follow-up sampling.
