Brief summary

The goal of the study is to learn about the safety of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan and if people can tolerate it when given in the bladder and find the highest dose that people can take without having certain problems. Researchers will then choose a dose level of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan to use in future studies to learn how well the drug works.

Interventions

DRUGSacituzumab tirumotecan

Intravesical administration

DRUGRescue medication

Participants are allowed to take rescue medication for stomatitis or oral mucositis. At the discretion of the investigator, participants are provided with a prescription for rescue medications. Recommended rescue medications are antihistamine, histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonist, acetaminophen or equivalent, dexamethasone or equivalent infusion or steroid mouthwash (dexamethasone or equivalent), antiemetic medications, oral nystatin suspension or antifungal medications, antidiarrheal agents, antiemetic agents, opiate and non-opiate analgesic agents, appetite stimulants, and granulocyte and erythroid growth factors.

Participants are allowed to take supportive care measures for the management of adverse events associated with study intervention at the discretion of the investigator. Artificial tear drops or gel may be given as a supportive care for Ocular Surface Toxicity.

Inclusion criteria

The key inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following: * Has recurrent low-grade (Ta) Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) in the bladder * Must have visible tumor by cystoscopy within 12 weeks prior to first dose * Has intermediate-risk NMIBC defined as 1 or more of the following risk factors: * Multiple tumors * \>1 occurrence of low-grade NMIBC within 1 year of the current diagnosis at Screening * Early recurrence (\<1 year) of the initial diagnosis of low-grade disease * Solitary tumor \>3 cm * Failure of prior intravesical treatment * An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2 assessed within 14 days prior to first dose

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)Up to approximately 7 weeksDLT will be defined as any drug-related adverse event (AE) observed during the DLT evaluation period (7 weeks). All toxicities will be graded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0.
Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 10 weeksAn AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study treatment which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of study treatment, is also an AE. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.
Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment due to an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 6 weeksAn AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study treatment which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of study treatment, is also an AE. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be reported.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC)Up to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC of sac-TIMT ADC
Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax) of sac-TMT ADCUp to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of sac-TMT ADC
Minimum Serum Concentration (Cmin) of sac-TMT ADCUp to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the Cmin of sac-TMT ADC
Serum Apparent terminal half-life (t½) of sac-TMT ADCUp to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of sac-TMT ADC
Serum AUC of sac-TMT Total Antibody (TAb)Up to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC of sac-TMT Tab
Serum Cmax of sac-TMT TabUp to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of sac-TMT Tab
Serum Cmin of sac-TMT TabUp to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the Cmin of sac-TMT Tab
Serum t½ of sac-TMT TabUp to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of sac-TMT Tab
Plasma AUC of sac-TMT payloadUp to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC of sac-TMT payload
Plasma Cmax of sac-TMT payloadUp to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of sac-TMT payload
Plasma Cmin of sac-TMT payloadUp to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the Cmin of sac-TMT payload
Plasma t½ of sac-TMT payloadUp to approximately 6 weeksBlood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of sac-TMT payload
Complete Response Rate (CRR)Up to approximately 6 monthsCRR is defined as the percentage of participants who will be absent of residual tumor in the bladder assessed locally by cystoscopy evaluation and negative urine cytology and/or biopsy and imaging if applicable.
Duration of Complete Response (DCR)Up to approximately 24 monthsDuration of CR for participants who demonstrate CR is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR (absence of residual tumor in the bladder assessed locally by cystoscopy evaluation and negative urine cytology and/or biopsy and imaging if applicable) until the occurrence of histologically confirmed nonmuscle invasive urothelial carcinoma (UC) by local pathology review or locally advanced or metastatic UC, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
