Background: Patients with predominant variant histology (VH) of bladder tumors, defined as involving >50 % of the tumor specimens, are typically excluded from clinical trials, and for these patients, the efficacy of standard chemotherapy is limited.Objective: To evaluate the activity of preoperative pembrolizumab in patients with muscleinvasive bladder carcinoma (MIBC) and VH, enrolled in PURE-01 study (NCT02736266).Design, setting, and participants: In the open-label, single-arm, phase 2 PURE-01 study, three courses of 200 mg pembrolizumab preceding radical cystectomy (RC) were administered in T2-4aN0M0 MIBC patients. The amended study design included patients with predominant VH.Intervention: Neoadjuvant pembrolizumab and RC.Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: Pathological complete response (pT0) in intention-to-treat population was the primary endpoint. Biomarker analyses included programmed cell-death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression using the combined positive score (CPS; Dako 22C3 antibody) and comprehensive genomic profiling (FoundationOne assay). Multivariable logistic regression analyses (MVAs) evaluated the histological category (predominant VH vs nonpredominant VH vs pure urothelial carcinoma), tumor mutational burden (TMB) and CPS in association with the pathological response.Results and limitations: From February 2017 to June 2019, 114 patients were enrolled; 34 (30%) of them presented with VH, including 19 (17%) with predominant VH. In total, the pTO rate was 37% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 28-46) and the pT
