Brief summary
The goal of this exploratory study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nimotuzumab combined with chemoradiotherapy in bladder - preserving treatment for MIBC patients who are ineligible for or decline radical cystectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does nimotuzumab combined with radiotherapy reduce adverse events in elderly bladder cancer patients? Does this combination improve objective response rate (ORR), progression - free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and bladder preservation rate in these patients? Participants will be MIBC patients treated with nimotuzumab and chemoradiotherapy, with a planned 5 - year follow - up to assess treatment efficacy and safety.
Interventions
1. nimotuzumab: 200mg, iv, qw, used for 5 weeks. 2. radiotherapy: radiotherapy is performed according to clinical routine;

Inclusion criteria
Signed informed consent. Aged ≥18. Histologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, staged T2a-T4a, anyN, M0, or recurrent T1 high - grade tumors (7th - edition AJCC staging). Unsuitable or intolerant to cystectomy, or with comorbidities making systemic chemotherapy intolerable, or chemotherapy - averse, or recurrent after prior TURBT and unsuitable for further TURBT or cystectomy. ECOG performance status 0-2. No severe hematopoietic or major organ dysfunction, or immunodeficiency. Pre - enrollment lab values: white blood cell count ≥3.5×10⁹/L, absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5×10⁹/L, platelets ≥50×10⁹/L, hemoglobin ≥90 g/L; renal: serum creatinine ≤1.2 mg/dL or creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min; hepatic: total bilirubin ≤3.0×ULN, AST/ALT ≤2.0×ULN; coagulation: INR ≤2.0. Agreed contraception during the trial for fertile individuals; females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days before initial dosing. No prior chemotherapy, targeted, or immunotherapy for cancer.
Exclusion criteria
Metastatic cancer. Previous pelvic/abdominal radiotherapy. Uncontrolled infection, intractable epilepsy, high intracranial pressure, hypertension, hyperglycemia, angina (Grade 1/symptomatic/≥Grade 2), peripheral neuropathy, or a history of myocardial infarction/heart failure within 6 months, or jaundice due to hepatic insufficiency. HIV, active hepatitis B (HBsAg and HBV - DNA positive), or active hepatitis C (HCV - RNA positive). Major surgery within 4 weeks before enrollment. Participation in another clinical trial within 4 weeks before enrollment. Other uncontrolled malignancies within the past 5 years (except cervical in - situ carcinoma, squamous cell skin cancer, or localized basal cell carcinoma). Any other researcher - identified reason making participation unsuitable.
