Study Details

Brief summary:

This study is being done to see how well two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) work together as a bladder preservation approach to treat patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. The study will compare these drugs to concurrent chemoradiotherapy that is usually used to treat this cancer (standard of care). The study will enroll patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who have cancer that has not spread outside the bladder.

Age: 18+

Healthy Volunteers: Not accepted

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Advanced or metastatic disease (N+, M1), non-urothelial carcinoma, diffuse or multifocal CIS, urothelial carcinoma or histological variant at any site outside the urinary bladder within previous 24 months prior to randomization except Ta/T1/CIS of the upper urinary tract including renal pelvis and ureter if the participant had undergone complete nephrectomy

  • Known active hepatitis B, active hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Received major surgery (defined as requiring general anesthesia and >24 hour inpatient hospitalization) within 4 weeks prior to randomization
  • Known severe (≥ Grade 3) hypersensitivity to any enfortumab vedotin excipient contained in the drug formulation of enfortumab vedotin
  • Known genetic disorders associated with radiosensitivity (eg, ataxia telangiectasia, Nijmegen breakage syndrome, Fanconi syndrome)
  • Active keratitis or corneal ulcerations
  • History of autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years
  • History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan

Enfortumab vedotin administered as an IV infusion on Days 1 and 8 of every 3-week cycle up to cycle 9.

Conventional Radiotherapy

64 Gy in 32 fractions over 6.5 weeks administered to the participant's bladder only or the bladder and prophylactically to pelvic nodes.

Hypofractionated Radiotherapy

Cisplatin

40 mg of cisplatin per meter squared of body surface area, administered once weekly via IV infusion during radiation OR 20 mg of cisplatin per meter squared of body surface area per day on Days 1 and 2 weekly via IV infusion during radiation.

Fluorouracil

500 mg per meter squared of body surface area per day on Days 1-5 (week 1) and Days 22 26 (week 3) administered as continuous IV infusion during radiation in combination with mitomycin C.

Mitomycin C

12 mg per meter squared of body surface area administered as an IV bolus on Day 1 during radiation in combination with fluorouracil.

Gemcitabine

100 mg per meter squared of body surface area administered once weekly via IV infusion during radiation OR 27 mg per meter squared of body surface area administered twice weekly via IV infusion during radiation

Pembrolizumab

IV infusion on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle up to cycle 17.
