Eligibility criteria included high-risk UTUC (defined as high-grade UTUC confirmed by endoscopic biopsy or urinary cytology, radiographic evidence of invasion [cT2-T4N0-2M0], and/or hydronephrosis), an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2, no previous systemic therapy, and cisplatin ineligibility. Patients received neoadjuvant tislelizumab before radical surgery. Contrast-enhanced MRI was performed before the third dose and again before surgery. The primary end point was pathological complete response rate (ypT0N0).

RAZOR enrolled across 15 academic medical centers in the United States between 2011 and 2014. The median follow-up was 2 years.
