Enfortumab Vedotin in Combination With Pembrolizumab vs. Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) in People With Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer ( EV-309 )
A PHASE 3, OPEN-LABEL, RANDOMIZED STUDY TO EVALUATE ENFORTUMAB VEDOTIN IN COMBINATION WITH PEMBROLIZUMAB IN ADULT PARTICIPANTS WITH MUSCLE-INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER WHO ARE INELIGIBLE FOR OR HAVE ELECTED NOT TO UNDERGO CYSTECTOMY

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.

Interventions
Enfortumab vedotin administered as an IV infusion on Days 1 and 8 of every 3-week cycle up to cycle 9.
64 Gy in 32 fractions over 6.5 weeks administered to the participant's bladder only or the bladder and prophylactically to pelvic nodes.
55 Gy in 20 fractions over 4 weeks administered to the participant's bladder only.
40 mg of cisplatin per meter squared of body surface area, administered once weekly via IV infusion during radiation OR 20 mg of cisplatin per meter squared of body surface area per day on Days 1 and 2 weekly via IV infusion during radiation.
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.
12 mg per meter squared of body surface area administered as an IV bolus on Day 1 during radiation in combination with fluorouracil.
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
IV infusion on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle up to cycle 17.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Has histologically confirmed initial diagnosis of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) with predominant urothelial histology staged cT2-T4aN0M0
- Tissue comprising muscle-invasive urothelial cancer must be submitted for clinical staging at baseline
- Eligible for and agree to receive chemoradiotherapy and one of the protocol-specified radiosensitizing chemotherapy regimens
- Fit for systemic therapy and elect bladder preservation, including participants who are ineligible for or have elected not to undergo cystectomy
- Has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2
You may not qualify if:
- Advanced or metastatic disease (N+, M1), non-urothelial carcinoma, diffuse or multifocal CIS, urothelial carcinoma or histological variant at any site outside the urinary bladder within previous 24 months prior to randomization except Ta/T1/CIS of the upper urinary tract including renal pelvis and ureter if the participant had undergone complete nephrectomy

- Previously treated with a PD(L)-1 inhibitor, defined as a PD-1 inhibitor or PD-L1 inhibitor
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Currently receiving systemic antimicrobial treatment for active infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal) at the time of randomization. Routine antimicrobial prophylaxis is permitted
- Known active hepatitis B, active hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
- Received major surgery (defined as requiring general anesthesia and \>24 hour inpatient hospitalization) within 4 weeks prior to randomization
- Known severe (≥ Grade 3) hypersensitivity to any enfortumab vedotin excipient contained in the drug formulation of enfortumab vedotin
