Overview

This study will test a drug called enfortumab vedotin in participants with a type of bladder cancer called non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

This study will also evaluate what the side effects are and if the drug works to treat NMIBC. A side effect is anything a drug does to your body besides treating your disease.

In this study enfortumab vedotin will be put into the bladder using a catheter. A catheter is a thin tube that can be put into your bladder.

Description

The study will be comprised of 2 parts. The first part (dose escalation) will find the highest dose of enfortumab vedotin that does not cause unacceptable side effects in participants. The second part (dose expansion) will use the dose found in the first part to test how well the drug works.

All participants will receive enfortumab vedotin. Treatment on the study will occur during the induction and maintenance phases, and participants will enter a follow-up period after completion of the maintenance phase.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically confirmed, non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma with carcinoma in situ (CIS) (with or without papillary disease)
  • Predominant histologic component (>50 percent) must be urothelial (transitional cell) carcinoma
  • Participants must have high-risk Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) - unresponsive disease, defined as (where adequate BCG therapy is defined as one of the following: 5 of 6 doses of an initial induction course + at least 2 of 3 doses maintenance therapy or 5 of 6 doses of an initial induction course + at least 2 of 6 doses of a second induction course):
    • Persistent or recurrent CIS alone or with recurrent Ta/T1 (noninvasive papillary disease/tumor invades the subepithelial connective tissue) disease within 12 months of completion of adequate BCG therapy.
    • Recurrent high-grade Ta/T1 disease within 6 months of completion of adequate BCG therapy, or
    • T1 high-grade disease at the first evaluation following an induction BCG course (at least 5 or 6 doses)
  • Participant must be ineligible for or refusing a radical cystectomy
  • All visible papillary Ta/T1 tumors must be completely resected within 60 days prior to enrollment.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status score of 0, 1, or 2.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Current or prior history of muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma or metastatic disease.
  • Nodal or metastatic disease as noted on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 3 months prior to study treatment
  • Concomitant upper tract urothelial carcinoma as noted on CT or MRI urogram performed within 3 months prior to study treatment
  • Prior or concomitant urothelial carcinoma of the prostatic urethra within 6 months prior to study treatment
  • Participants with tumor-related hydronephrosis
  • Participant has received other systemic anticancer therapy including chemotherapy, biologic therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, endocrine therapy, and/or investigational agent within 4 weeks or intravesical therapy within 6 weeks of first dose of study treatment
  • Participant has had any prior radiation to the bladder for urothelial cancer

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
