Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab vs. Chemotherapy Alone in Untreated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Cancer

NCT04223856

Description:

This study is being done to see how well two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) work together to treat patients with urothelial cancer. The study will compare these drugs to other drugs that are usually used to treat this cancer (standard of care). The patients in this study will have cancer that has spread from their urinary system to other parts of their body.

Purpose

This study is being done to see how well two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) work together to treat patients with urothelial cancer. The study will compare these drugs to other drugs that are usually used to treat this cancer (standard of care). The patients in this study will have cancer that has spread from their urinary system to other parts of their body.

Detailed Description

      This study is being conducted to evaluate the combination of enfortumab vedotin +
      pembrolizumab versus standard of care gemcitabine + platinum-containing chemotherapy, in
      subjects with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer.

      Enfortumab vedotin may be administered for an unlimited number of cycles until a protocol
      defined reason for study discontinuation occurs. Pembrolizumab may be administered for a
      maximum of 35 cycles or a protocol-defined reason for study discontinuation occurs, whichever
      is first. Cisplatin or carboplatin plus gemcitabine may be administered for a maximum of 6
      cycles or a protocol-defined reason for study discontinuation occurs, whichever is first.

Description:Defined as the time from first documented response of CR or PR (that is subsequently confirmed) to the first documented disease progression per RECIST v1.1, or to death due to any cause, whichever comes first
Measure:DOR per RECIST v1.1 by investigator assessment (Arms A and B only)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Defined as the time from first documented response of CR or PR (that is subsequently confirmed) to the first documented disease progression per RECIST v1.1, or to death due to any cause, whichever comes first

Measure:Change from baseline in patient reported outcome assessment measured by the EuroQOL Five Dimensions Questionnaire 5L (EQ-5D-5L)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument developed by the EuroQol Group for use as a generic, preference-based measure of health outcomes. The EQ-5D-5L is a 5-item self-reported measure of functioning and wellbeing, which assesses 5 dimensions of health, including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension comprises 5 levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, extreme problems). A unique EQ-5D-5L health state is defined by combining 1 level from each of the 5 dimensions. This questionnaire also records the respondent's self-rated health status on a vertical graduated (0 = the worst health a participant can imagine to 100 = the best health a participant can imagine) visual analogue scale.
Measure:Change from baseline in patient reported outcome assessment measured by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific 30-item questionnaire. Participants rate items on a four-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much." A change of 5 - 10 points is considered a small change. A change of 10 - 20 points is considered a moderate change.
Measure:Change from baseline in patient reported outcome assessment measured by Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-SF)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The Short Form is a single assessment of overall pain where 0 equals no pain and 10 equals extreme pain. Low pain scores are considered a better outcome than a high pain score.
Measure:Incidence of adverse events (AEs)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize results
Measure:Incidence of laboratory abnormalities
Time Frame:Up to approximately 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize results
Measure:Treatment discontinuation rate due to AEs
Time Frame:Up to approximately 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize results
