Phase 1
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Urothelial Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03473743
Lead Sponsor
Janssen Research & Development, LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to: (a) characterize the safety and tolerability of and to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule for erdafitinib in combination with cetrelimab, and for erdafitinib in combination with cetrelimab and platinum (cisplatin and carboplatin) chemotherapy and; (b) to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of erdafitinib alone and in combination with cetrelimab in cisplatin-ineligible participants with metastatic or locally advanced urothelial cancer (UC) with select fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) gene alterations and no prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease.

Detailed Description

This open-label (all people know identity of intervention) and multicenter (when more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study) study to establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for erdafitinib and cetrelimab and/or platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) chemotherapy, and to evaluate the safety of erdafitinib in combination with cetrelimab and platinum chemotherapy in Phase 1b and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the RP2D of erdafitinib plus cetrelimab versus erdafitinib in Phase 2 in participants with advanced urothelial cancer with select fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) gene alterations. Participants enrolled in Phase 1b erdafitinib + cetrelimab cohort may have received any number of lines of prior therapy, and participants enrolled in Phase 1b erdafitinib + cetrelimab + platinum chemotherapy cohort will have had no prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease and participants enrolled in Phase 2 will have had no prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease and will be cis-ineligible. Part 1 (Phase 1b: Dose Escalation) will identify safety and RP2Ds of erdafitinib + cetrelimab and erdafitinib + cetrelimab + platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) chemotherapy, and Part 2 (Phase 2: Dose Expansion) will evaluate erdafitinib monotherapy and the RP2D regimen of the erdafitinib + cetrelimab combination to further characterize safety and clinical activity. The study will be conducted in 3 phases: screening phase, treatment phase, and follow-up phase. Study evaluations include efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, biomarkers, and safety.

  • Phase 1b erdafitinib + cetrelimab cohort: Chemotherapy within 3 weeks of Cycle 1 Day 1; Phase 1b erdafitinib + cetrelimab + platinum chemotherapy cohort and Phase 2: Prior neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy is allowed if the last dose was given >12 months prior to recurrent disease progression and did not result in drug-related toxicity leading to treatment discontinuation
  • Prior anti-programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1), anti-programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), or anti-programmed death ligand-2 (PD-L2) therapy. Prior neoadjuvant/adjuvant checkpoint inhibitor therapy is allowed if the last dose was given more than (>)12 months prior to recurrent disease progression and did not result in drug-related toxicity leading to treatment discontinuation. PD-1 for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is also allowed
  • Active malignancies requiring concurrent therapy other than urothelial cancer
  • Symptomatic central nervous system metastases

GroupInterventionDescription
Phase 1b: Dose EscalationErdafitinibTwo dosing cohorts (erdafitinib and cetrelimab; and erdafitinib, cetrelimab and cisplatin/carboplatin) are explored in Phase 1b of the study. Participants will receive erdafitinib orally followed by cetrelimab intravenously (IV) and carboplatin/cisplatin IV as a part of platinum chemotherapy. The dose levels will be escalated sequentially based on the decisions of the Study Evaluation Team (SET) until the recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) has been identified.
Phase 2: Dose ExpansionCetrelimabThe participants will be randomized in a 1:1 manner to receive either erdafitinib alone (orally) or the identified RP2D of Phase 1b for erdafitinib (orally) in combination with cetrelimab (IV).
Phase 1b: Dose EscalationCisplatinTwo dosing cohorts (erdafitinib and cetrelimab; and erdafitinib, cetrelimab and cisplatin/carboplatin) are explored in Phase 1b of the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Phase 2: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAEs)From Day 1 up to 36 months

Number of participants with TEAEs were reported. An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product. TEAEs were defined as adverse events with onset or worsening on or after date of first dose of study treatment.

Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLTs)Up to 8 weeks

Number of participants with DLTs were reported. The DLTs as per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0 (NCI-CTCAE version 5.0) are specific adverse events defined as grade 3 (severe), grade 4 (life-threatening), and grade 5 (death) non-hematological toxicity or hematological toxicity.

Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 by Investigator AssessmentFrom Day 1 up to 36 months

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who achieved confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR), according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version1.1. As per RECIST version 1.1, CR: disappearance of all lesions; all lymph nodes were non-pathological in size and normalization of tumor marker level; PR: greater than or equal to (\>=) 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of the diameters of all target lesions compared with baseline, in absence of new lesions or unequivocal progression of nontarget lesions.
