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.

Detailed description

This study is being conducted to evaluate the combination of enfortumab vedotin + pembrolizumab versus standard of care concurrent chemoradiotherapy, in subjects with previously untreated muscle invasive bladder cancer. Enfortumab vedotin may be administered for up to 9 cycles or a protocol defined reason for study discontinuation occurs, whichever is first. Pembrolizumab may be administered for a maximum of 17 cycles (3-week cycles) or a protocol-defined reason for study discontinuation occurs, whichever is first. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy may be administered for a maximum of 6.5 weeks.

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.

DRUGMitomycin C

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

DRUGGemcitabine

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

DRUGPembrolizumab

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

Masking description

Open-label

Intervention model description

A randomized, controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, open-label study of EV in combination with pembrolizumab versus an active comparator-cCRT in adult participants with MIBC who are ineligible for or have elected not to undergo cystectomy. The study is open-label, and the investigators, participants, and sponsor will be aware of the study intervention assignment. The study intervention assignment is by randomization (1:1).

MeasureTime frameDescription
Bladder-intact Event Free Survival (BI-EFS) by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)Up to approximately 45.5 monthsBI-EFS is defined as the time from randomization to any of the following events: histologically confirmed persistent or residual MIBC post-treatment confirmed by BICR, histologically confirmed recurrent MIBC by BICR, disease progression by BICR, cystectomy, or death from any cause.
Overall Survival (OS)Up to approximately 60 monthsTime from randomization to death due to any cause.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription

Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)From start of study treatment up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (approximately up to 1.1 years)An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who receives a study treatment without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Treatment-emergent are events between the first dose of study treatment and up to 30 days after the last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.
Number of Participants with Serious TEAEsFrom start of treatment up to 90 days after the last dose of study treatment (approximately up to 1.3 years)An SAE is any AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/ incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 90 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.
