- Registration Number
- NCT03914794
- Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well Pemigatinib (an orally administered inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptors 1, 2, and 3) works in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients with recurrent tumors and a prior history of low- or intermediate-risk NMIBC tumors. Participants will receive pemigatinib for 4-6 weeks prior to standard of care transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).
- Detailed Description
It is a single-arm phase 2 window of opportunity study to assess the antineoplastic activity of pemigatinib in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients with recurrent tumors and a prior history of low- or intermediate-risk NMIBC tumors. Enrolled patients will receive pemigatinib for 4-6 weeks prior to standard of care transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). The primary endpoint will be complete response rate as determined at TURBT. Secondary endpoints will include safety profile, associations between complete response rate and tumor mutation/fusion status (e.g. FGFR3 specifically, others will also be examined) and NMIBC risk group (low- vs. intermediate-risk), and assessment of pemigatinib post-treatment urothelial tissue concentrations. The study will be conducted at 4-5 high volume bladder cancer institutions within the US and managed through the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center clinical research office.

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 K/mm3
- Platelets ≥ 100 K/mm3
- Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL

-
Patients who give a written informed consent obtained according to local guidelines
- Patients with concurrent upper urinary tract (i.e. ureter, renal pelvis) non-invasive urothelial carcinoma.
- Patients with high grade urothelial carcinoma on their most recent urine cytology.
- Patients with another active second malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancers and biochemical relapsed prostate cancer. (Patients that have completed all necessary therapy and are considered to be at less than 30% risk of relapse are not considered to have an active second malignancy and are eligible for enrollment.)
- Patients who have received the last administration of an anti-cancer therapy including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and monoclonal antibodies ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from the side effects of such therapy
- Patients who have received prior selective fibroblast growth factor receptor targeting agents (i.e. pemigatinib, dovitinib, BGJ398, AZD4547, JNJ-42756493, etc.).
- Patients who have had radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from radiotherapy toxicities
- Patients who have undergone major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy or significant traumatic injury ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or patients who have had minor procedures (i.e. TURBT), percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device ≤ 1 week prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from side effects of such procedure or injury

Group Intervention Description Treatment: Pemigatinib Pemigatinib Patients will receive pemigatinib for 4 to 6 weeks prior to standard of care transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Complete response rate of pemigatinib therapy 6 weeks The number of participants with a complete response to pemigatinib therapy. Tumor complete response is defined as the complete absence of any stage bladder tumor on post-treatment Transurethral Resection of a Bladder Tumor (TURBT) and no evidence of recurrent urothelial carcinoma on post-treatment urine cytology.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Characterize the safety profile of pemigatinib therapy 4 years Number of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≥ 3 toxicities
Number of Participants with Complete Response and FGFR3 Mutational Status Up to 4 weeks Relapse Free Survival (RFS) at 6 months 6 months Number of months from achieving a complete response at initial post-treatment TURBT until relapse.
Maximal concentration (Cmax, nmol/L) of pemigatinib in urothelial tissue at post-treatment TURBT Up to 4 weeks Relapse Free Survival (RFS) at 12 months 12 months Number of months from achieving a complete response at initial post-treatment TURBT until relapse.
Number of Participants with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) and Complete Response Up to 4 years Number of participants with complete response rate and baseline NMIBC risk group (low- vs. intermediate-risk)
Relapse Free Survival (RFS) at 24 months 24 months Number of months from achieving a complete response at initial post-treatment TURBT until relapse.
