- Presence of either an FGFR3 mutation or FGFR3 over-expression within bladder tumor tissue.
- Documented BCG-refractory disease defined as failure to achieve a tumor free state after at least 2 prior induction courses of intravesical BCG therapy.
- Medically unfit to undergo cystectomy or electively choosing to forego cystectomy
- Patients who give a written informed consent obtained according to local guidelines
- Patients with muscle-invasive (i.e. T2, T3, T4), locally advanced non-resectable, or metastatic urothelial carcinoma as assessed on baseline radiographic imaging obtained within 28 days prior to study registration.
- Patients with concurrent upper urinary tract (i.e. ureter, renal pelvis) non-invasive urothelial carcinoma.
- Patients with another primary malignancy within 3 years prior to starting study drug, with the exception of adequately treated in-situ carcinoma of the uterine cervix, clinically localized prostate cancer, biochemically relapsed non-metastatic prostate cancer (i.e., PSA only disease), or skin cancer (such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or non-melanomatous skin cancer)
- 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 VEGFR-targeted or FGFR-targeted agents (i.e., sunitinib, pazopanib, sorafenib, bevacizumab, axitinib, 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
- Uncontrolled hypertension defined by a systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 160 mm Hg and/or d iastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 100 mm Hg, with or without anti-hypertensive medication(s)
- Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of dovitinib (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection)
- Cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis or chronic persistent hepatitis
- Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (HIV testing is not mandatory)
- Patients who are currently receiving anti-coagulation treatment with therapeutic doses of warfarin. Full-dose anti-coagulation with low molecular weight heparin is permitted.
- Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concomitant medical conditions (e.g., active or uncontrolled infection, uncontrolled diabetes) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women
- Women of child-bearing potential, who are biologically able to conceive, not employing two forms of highly effective contraception. Highly effective contraception must be used throughout the trial and up to 8 weeks after the last dose of study drug (e.g. male condom with spermicidal; diaphragm with spermicide; intra-uterine device). Oral, implantable, or injectable contraceptives that may be affected by cytochrome P450 interactions are not considered effective for this study. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as sexually mature women who have not undergone a hysterectomy or who have not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., who has had menses any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months), must have a negative serum pregnancy test ≤ 14 days prior to starting study drug.
- Fertile males not willing to use contraception, as stated above
- Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol

Group Intervention Description Dovitinib Dovitinib Dovitinib will be administered 500mg orally in a 5 days on, 2 days off dosing schedule.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Determine 6-Month Complete Response Rate 6 months The 6-month complete response rate is defined as the proportion of patients treated with dovitinib with no evidence of any remaining urothelial carcinoma tumors of any T-stage (including Tis) present within the bladder as assessed by standard of care cystoscopic examination with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and urine cytology performed at 6 months after initiation of study therapy.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Determine 1-Year Relapse-Free Survival Rate 12 months The 1-year relapse free survival rate is defined as the proportion of patients treated with dovitinib with no evidence of any remaining urothelial carcinoma tumors at 12 months of follow-up.
Determine Rate of Progression to Muscle-Invasive Stage 12 months The rate of progression to muscle-invasive stage for dovitinib is defined as the proportion of patients with clinical or pathologic progression to muscle-invasive stages (i.e., T2-T4) at any time point on study.
Determine 3-Month and 6-Month Partial Response Rates 6 months The 3- and 6-month partial response rates are defined as the proportion of patients treated with persistent but reduced T-stage tumors on post-therapy TURBT (i.e., T1 ≥ Ta; T1+Tis ≥ T1).
Characterize Treatment-related Toxicity Rates 12 months Treatment-related toxicity rates will be assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0. All grade 3-4 adverse events and other adverse events occurring in more than 20% of patients are reported.
