Sasanlimab in combination with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in BCG-naive in BCG-naive, high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC): Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from CREST.

4610 Background: Sasanlimab with BCG (induction [IND] + maintenance [MNT]) significantly improved investigator-assessed EFS vs BCG (IND + MNT) and had a manageable safety profile in patients (pts) with BCG-naive, high-risk NMIBC in the phase 3 CREST study primary analysis. We report PRO data not previously presented from CREST for Arms A and C assessing the impact of sasanlimab with BCG on QOL. Methods: Eligible pts were randomized 1:1:1 to receive sasanlimab with BCG (IND + MNT; Arm A), sasanlimab with BCG (IND; Arm B), or BCG (IND + MNT; Arm C). PROs were secondary endpoints and not included in the testing hierarchy. PROs were assessed prior to first dose (baseline [BL]), and at scheduled visits until an event or end of treatment (every 4 wk until Wk 28, every 12 wk until Wk 100) and at disease follow-up using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-NMIBC24. Longitudinal mixed effect-model analyses were used to assess change from BL in the EORTC QLQ-C30 and NMIBC24 items. Results: At data cutoff (Dec 2, 2024), 695/703 pts randomized to Arms A (n = 348) and C (n = 347) had a BL score and ≥1 post-BL score. Completion rates were > 84% for all visits through the end-of-treatment visit (Cycle 25). QLQ-C30 Global Health Score QOL scores were numerically similar between arms (mean difference: −2.345; 95% CI: −4.058, −0.632; P = 0.007). No clinically meaningful differences (≥10-point change; Osoba et al. JCO 1998) were observed across urinary symptoms (NMIBC24; mean difference: 0.851; 95% CI: −1.030 , 2.731; P = 0.375), intravesical treatment issues (NMIBC24; mean difference: 1.271; 95% CI: −0.587, 3.130; P = 0.180), and EORTC QLQ-C30 items (Table) between arms, except in a small sample for female sexual problems (NMIBC24; mean difference: 18.502; 95% CI: 6.228, 30.775; P = 0.007). Results were statistically significant but not clinically meaningful. Conclusions: PROs from CREST showed QOL was maintained when combining sasanlimab with BCG vs BCG (both IND + MNT). These results can help inform the benefit-risk assessment of CREST. Clinical trial information: NCT04165317 .
