Erdafitinib Monotherapy or in Combination With Cetrelimab in Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer Patients With Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR ) Gene Alterations

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06511648
Lead Sponsor
Spanish Oncology Genito-Urinary Group
Brief Summary

Erdafitinib (ERDA) alone or in combination with cetrelimab (CET) as neoadjuvant treatment (prior to surgery) in subjects with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) whose tumours express Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR )gene alterations and are ineligible for or refuse cisplatin based neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

The aim of the study is to assess the antitumor activity measured as ypT0 rate, defined as no evidence of residual disease based on pathological review of the surgical specimen (pCR) and tumour downstaging (\<ypT2). Patients must have a MIBC (cT2-T4a N0/N1 M0) who harbour selected FGFR alterations stated in the protocol and are either ineligible for or refuse cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy, as defined by consensus criteria (see 6.1 Inclusion criteria).

Once it is confirmed that the subjects fulfil the eligibility criteria and have signed the informed consent form, they will receive erdafitinib alone (cohort 1) or erdafitinib in combination with cetrelimab (cohort 2).

Patients will receive neoadjuvant treatment with erdafitinib alone (cohort 1) or erdafitinib plus cetrelimab (cohort 2) before proceeding to Radical Cystectomy (RC) (to be performed within 2 - 6 weeks after the last study drug treatment)

Cohort 1: patients will receive erdafitinib Cohort 2: patients will receive erdafitinib in combination with cetrelimab intravenously (IV)

Radiological assessment: A Computed Tomography /Magnetic Resonance Imaging and/or Positron Emission Tomography (per standard local imaging practices) will be scheduled as follow:

* Basal assessment: during screening period (no more than 28 days before Cycle1, Day 1(C1D1)

* Response assessment: At the end of treatment period allowing time for imaging review in advance of Radical cystectomy (RC).

* Follow-up assessment: an image evaluation must be done at first follow-up visit and thereafter, it will be schedule according to local standards and as clinically indicated.

A local pathological assessment will be done on specimens obtained during RC (for co-primary endpoints). Thereafter, during the follow-up period, pathological assessments will be scheduled according to local standards and as clinically indicated.

Patients with disease progression during the treatment phase will be discontinued from the study and will receive their treatment according to the investigator's judgment and monitored to evaluate Overal Survival .

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pathological complete response (pCR)After a maximum of 30 weeks from the start of treatment (First Followup visit ) on specimens obtained during radical cystectomy.

Defined as no evidence of residual disease based on pathological review of the surgical specimen.It is defined as the proportion of patients whose pathological staging was ypT0N0M0 as assessed using specimens obtained post radical cystectomy following the study intervention.

Pathological downstaging response <ypT2After a maximum of 30 weeks from the start of treatment (First Followup visit ) on specimens obtained during radical cystectomy.

Defined as no microscopic evidence of residual disease in the bladder (ypT0) or evidence of non-muscle invasive residual disease including ypTa, ypTis, ypT1, based on histological evaluation of the resected bladder specimen collected during cystectomy (post-treatment)."

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of delay of surgeryDuring treatment (27 months) and follow-up period (36 months)

classed as a delay event if performed \> 6 weeks after last dose of treatment

Rate of pathological downstaging (pDS)During treatment (27 months)

Defined as pathological TNM less than clinical TNM.

Overall SurvivalDuring follow-up period (36 months)

Defined from the date of study entry until death of any cause.

Adverse events.During treatment (27 months) and follow-up period (36 months)

Occurring in the period from the time the patient enters the study (from the signature of consent) until 30 days after the last dose of the investigational treatment erdafitinib and until 100 days after the last dose of the investigational treatment cetrelimab

Event-free Survival rate.During follow-up period (36 months)

Radiographically confirmed disease progression of their cancer, death or any event that prevents the performance of RC, including initiation of any additional therapy prior to RC. Progression will be assessed using computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or Positron Emission Tomography (PET)-CT (per standard local imaging practices).

Overall Response RateDuring treatment (27 months)

Defined as the percentage of patients with partial or complete response according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria.
