Condition: UTUC

Study Type: Interventional

Clinical Trials Identifier NCT 8-digits: NCT07741448

Sponsor: Zhiquan Hu

Phase: Phase 2

Eligibility:

  • Age: minimum 18 Years maximum 75 Years
  • Gender: All

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 1. The subject voluntarily participates in the study, provides written informed consent, and is able to comply with study procedures and follow-up visits. 2. Aged between 18 and 75 years. 3.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Received live attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or plan to receive such vaccines during the study.
  2. Received systemic chemotherapy, anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agents, or HER2-targeted therapy within the previous 6 months.
  3. Known hypersensitivity to gemcitabine, Trastuzumab Rezetecan, or any of their excipients.
  4. Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease.
  5. Known history of primary immunodeficiency.
  6. Known history of solid organ allotransplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
  7. Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  8. Untreated acute or chronically active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection. Patients receiving antiviral therapy may be considered eligible at the investigator's discretion with ongoing viral load monitoring.
  9. Uncontrolled concurrent illnesses, including but not limited to:
  10. HIV infection (positive HIV antibody).
  11. Severe active infection with inadequate clinical control.
  12. Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease (e.g., severe psychiatric or neurological disorders, epilepsy or dementia; unstable or decompensated respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal disease; uncontrolled hypertension defined as CTCAE Grade ≥2 hypertension despite medical treatment).
  13. Active bleeding, newly diagnosed thromboembolic disease requiring therapeutic anticoagulation, or bleeding diathesis.
  14. Diagnosis of another malignant tumor within the past 5 years.
