A Study of Erdafitinib Versus Investigator Choice of Intravesical Chemotherapy in Participants Who Received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and Recurred With High Risk Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC)

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Urinary Bladder Neoplasms
Interventions
Drug: Investigator Choice (Gemcitabine)
Drug: Investigator Choice (Mitomycin C)
Registration Number
NCT04172675
Lead Sponsor
Janssen Research & Development, LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate recurrence-free survival (RFS) in participants treated with erdafitinib vs Investigator's Choice, for participants with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who harbor fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) mutations or fusions, and who recurred after bacillus calmette-guerin (BCG) therapy.

Detailed Description

This study enrolls participants with high risk NMIBC and FGFR mutations or fusions. Erdafitinib is an oral pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1-4 inhibitor with demonstrated clinical activity in participants with solid tumors, including urothelial carcinoma, with alterations in the FGFR pathway. In Cohort 1, participants will be randomized to erdafitinib or to Investigators Choice (intravesical gemcitabine or intravesical mitomycin C \[MMC\] or hyperthermic MMC). The study consists of screening period, treatment phase, follow-up phase, and long-term extension phase.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior treatment with an FGFR inhibitor
  • Active malignancies other than the disease being treated under study. The only allowed exceptions are: (a) skin cancer treated within the last 24 months that is considered completely cured (b) adequately treated lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) and ductal CIS (c) history of localized breast cancer and receiving antihormonal agents, or history of localized prostate cancer (N0M0) and receiving androgen deprivation therapy

Cohort 1: Investigators ChoiceInvestigator Choice (Gemcitabine)Participants with high-risk NMIBC presenting as papillary tumor only (CIS, absent), with disease recurrence after BCG therapy will receive the investigator's choice of either intravesical gemcitabine or intravesical mitomycin C (MMC) or hyperthermic MMC. Participants who are randomized to gemcitabine or MMC or hyperthermic MMC in Cohort 1 and demonstrate a recurrence via investigator disease assessment will have the opportunity to cross over to treatment with erdafitinib.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cohort 1: Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS)From randomization (Cycle 1 Day 1, pre-dose) up to 48.2 months

RFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of the reappearance of high-risk disease (high-grade Ta, T1 or carcinoma in situ \[CIS\]), or death, whichever was reported first. Recurrence was assessed using cystoscopy, bladder mapping, urine cytology, and computed tomography (CT)/ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) urogram. Participants who were recurrence-free and alive or had unknown status were censored at the last tumor assessment. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the distribution of overall RFS for each treatment group.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Plasma Concentrations of ErdafitinibAll cohorts: Pre-dose on Cycle 1 Day 14, pre-dose and 3 hours post-dose on Cycle 2 Day 1 (each cycle was of 28 days)

Plasma concentrations of erdafitinib were reported. Plasma samples were analyzed using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry method.

Cohort 1: Recurrence-Free Survival Rate at 6 Months and 12 MonthsAt Month 6 and Month 12

RFS rate was the proportion of participants who were recurrence-free and alive based on Kaplan-Meier estimates. RFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of the reappearance of high-risk disease (high-grade Ta, T1 or CIS), or death, whichever was reported first. Recurrence was assessed using cystoscopy, bladder mapping, urine cytology, and CT/ MRI urogram. Participants who were recurrence-free and alive or had unknown status were censored at the last tumor assessment.

Cohort 1: Overall SurvivalFrom randomization (Cycle 1 Day 1, pre-dose) up to 48.2 months

Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the participant's death due to any cause.

Cohort 1: Time to ProgressionFrom randomization (Cycle 1 Day 1, pre-dose) up to 48.2 months

Time to progression (TTP) was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of first documented evidence of any of the following: disease progression (PD) or death. PD included development of or increase in stage to lamina propria invasion (for example- increase from Ta to T1), development of or increase in stage to muscle-invasive disease (stage greater than or equal to \[\>=\] T2), development of or increase in stage to lymph node (N+) or distant metastasis (M1) disease (participants must have previously been diagnosed with N0 and/or M0 disease), increase in tumor grade from low to high (including CIS).

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)From start of treatment (Day 1) up to 25.2 months

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAEs were the events between first dose of study drug and up to 30 (+7 days) days after last dose or before start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first. All TEAEs including serious and non-serious events were reported in this outcome measure (OM).
