Alliance A032103 (MODERN) will utilize Signatera, Natera's personalized and tumor-informed molecular residual disease (MRD) test, to help guide personalized treatment based on molecular status in patients diagnosed with muscle-invasive urothelial cancer (MIUC) after radical cystectomy.
Urothelial cancer is the most common urinary cancer diagnosed in
In the Alliance A032103 (MODERN) trial, approximately 1,000 patients will be enrolled at more than 300 sites in
This trial was made possible by results of the pivotal CheckMate 274 trial,4 which established the safety and efficacy of adjuvant nivolumab in MIUC, and is now the only FDA-approved therapy in this disease setting.5 Additionally, data published in the journal Nature in 2021 from the IMvigor010 trial showed that 63% of patients with MIUC tested Signatera MRD-negative after surgery, and those patients received no significant benefit from adjuvant immunotherapy (atezolizumab) versus observation.6
'The MODERN trial represents a step towards precision medicine in bladder cancer treatment,' said
'MODERN, like the CIRCULATE clinical trials in colorectal cancer, is a pivotal study that examines how Signatera-guided escalation and de-escalation pathways can potentially improve patient outcomes,' said
About Signatera
Signatera is a personalized, tumor-informed, molecular residual disease test for patients previously diagnosed with cancer. Custom-built for each individual, Signatera uses circulating tumor DNA to detect and quantify cancer left in the body, identify recurrence earlier than standard of care tools, and help optimize treatment decisions. The test is available for clinical and research use and is covered by Medicare for patients with colorectal cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and muscle invasive bladder cancer, as well as for immunotherapy monitoring of any solid tumor. Signatera has been clinically validated across multiple cancer types and indications, with published evidence in more than 50 peer-reviewed papers.
