Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Existence of archival or fresh biopsy for FGFR testing. FGFR testing of patients will be performed at the investigators’ discretion up to a max. of 90 days prior to start of screening (signing of informed consent for study treatment eligibility). Investigators should ensure all patients will be eligible in terms of disease status and lines of treatment within this timeframe. If the patient is positive for FGFR 1 and/or 3 and is unable start screening by 90 days after FGFR testing, the patient may still be considered for screening after discussion with the sponsor’s designated medical representative and approval by the sponsor Male or female patients = 18 years of age (at least age of legal maturity).

Patients being treated with anticoagulant, e.g. warfarin or heparin, will be allowed to participate provided no prior evidence of an underlying abnormality in these parameters exists.

The investigator or a designated associate is requested to advise the patient how to achieve highly effective birth contro

Palliative radiotherapy for bone metastases or soft tissue lesions is allowed and should be completed >7 days prior to baseline tumor scan. Lesions at the site of previous radiotherapy should have evidence of progressive disease if this is the only site of disease. Anti-cancer therapy is defined as any agent or combination of agents with clinically proven anti-tumor activity administered by any route with the purpose of affecting the malignancy, either directly or indirectly, including palliative and therapeutic endpoints.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate the superiority of rogaratinib over chemotherapy in terms of prolonging overall survival of urothelial carcinoma patients with FGFR positive tumors. The objective for the Phase 2 part of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of rogaratinib over chemotherapy in terms of objective response rate of urothelial carcinoma patients with FGFR positive tumors.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objective of this trial is to evaluate additional efficacy including the following variables: Progression-free survival (PFS) Objective response rate (ORR) Disease control rate (DCR) Duration of response (DOR) and to evaluate the safety of rogaratinib (adverse events) Tertiary objectives are: Patient-reported outcome (PRO) Evaluate biomarkers to investigate the drug (i.e. mode-of-action-related) Pharmacokinetics effect and/or safety) and/or the pathomechanism of the disease. Pharmacokinetics;Primary end point(s): Overall survival is the primary efficacy variable. The primary efficacy variable is overall survival (OS). OS data will be considered mature and the final OS analysis (i.e. primary completion) will be performed when approximately a total of 232 PIK3CA and RAS WT patients have died, in accordance with the power calculations specified for the full analysis set (FAS). For the primary efficacy variable of overall survival, a hierarchical fixed-sequence procedure based on stratified log-rank test controlling type I error at a level of 0.025 (one-sided) will be conducted for the WT population first (step 1). A full alpha of 0.025 (one-sided) will be passed on to OS in all study population and some selected secondary endpoints (step 2), if and only if the null hypothesis of OS for WT population is rejected.in the following sequence: step 1) WT population; step 2) all study population. Step 2 will be tested if and only if the null hypothesis of step 1) is rejected. Details on controlling family-wise type I error with

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary efficacy variables include PFS, ORR, DCR and DOR based on independent central review assessments. Secondary efficacy variables including progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and duration of response (DOR) (see Section 9.4 for definitions) will be analyzed based on final database when approximately a total of 232 PIK3CA and RAS WT patients have died. The formal testing procedure controlling family-wise type I error of 0.025 as one-sided for PFS and ORR in WT and all study population will be specified in a separate Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) document. Further analysis details with respect to PFS, ORR, DCR and DOR are summarized below. For analyses of PFS, in both populations, the two treatment arms will be compared using a log-rank test stratified by the same stratification factors as used in the analyses of the primary variable, based on independent central review assessments. The hazard ratio (rogaratinib / chemotherapy) and 95% confidence interval will be provided. KM estimates and KM curves will also be presented for each treatment arm. The KM estimates at time points such as 2 months, 4 months etc. together with corresponding 95% confidence intervals as well as the differences of these estimates between the rogaratinib arm and the chemotherapy arm will also be calculated. ORR as well as DCR will be compared between treatment arms using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test adjusting for the same stratification factors as used in the analyses of the primary variable, based on independent central review assessments for both populations. Estimates and 95% confidence intervals will be computed for each treatment arm. The differences in ORR and DCR between the rogaratinib and chemotherapy arms and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals will also be calculated. For both populations, summary statistics will be displayed for all best response categories: CR, PR, SD, N
