Abstract

An investigation of alternatives to immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced urothelial cancer (aUC), with biologic information, is urgently needed. Clinical data for 53 patients who received gemcitabine–paclitaxel therapy (GP) as 2nd-line chemotherapy for aUC refractory to platinum-based chemotherapy were retrospectively reviewed. The efficacy and tolerability of GP were evaluated, and the predictive value of phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) immunostained in surgical specimens was investigated for treatment outcomes in 1st- and 2nd-line chemotherapy. GP was associated with an objective response rate of 35.8% and a median overall survival duration of 12.3 months. Multivariate analysis showed that PS2 and 1st- and 2nd-line non-response are independent predictors of worse progression-free survival and that PS2 and 1st-line non-response are independent predictors of worse overall survival. Adverse events were manageable, and no therapy-related deaths occurred. Non-response rates to 1st-line chemotherapy were significantly higher in patients with a high expression of PGK1 in the nucleus than in those with low expression (p = 0.006). Our study demonstrates the efficacy and tolerability of 2nd-line GP for patients with aUC who are refractory to platinum-based chemotherapy. Moreover, PGK1 in the nucleus was predictive values for resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy in aUC.
