简要总结
【Treatment of Urothelial Carcinoma】 Treatment for urothelial carcinoma includes surgery, chemotherapy (anticancer drugs), and radiation therapy. Chemotherapy is generally used when metastasis has already occurred at diagnosis and surgery is not curative (metastatic urothelial carcinoma) or when the cancer recurs after local therapy such as surgery or radiation therapy (recurrent urothelial carcinoma).
Although there are several recommended treatments for urothelial carcinoma, the options are often limited by side effects and other factors, and these treatments may not be fully effective. Therefore, the development of safer and more effective treatments is desired.
【About the Drugs to be Used in this Clinical Trial】 In this clinical trial, the investigational drug MIKE-1 will be used in combination with nivolumab plus GC (cisplatin gemcitabine), one of the recommended chemotherapy regimens, and subsequently with nivolumab monotherapy for patients with unresectable metastatic or recurrent urothelial cancer. Nivolumab, cisplatin, and gemcitabine are injectable (intravenous infusion), while MIKE-1 is oral.
【Purpose of the Clinical Trial】 The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy (how much the cancer shrinks or slows down) and safety of the investigational drug MIKE-1 in combination with nivolumab and gemcitabine and cisplatin therapy in patients with untreated unresectable or recurrent urothelial cancer.
详细描述
【Treatment of urothelial carcinoma】 Treatment for urothelial carcinoma includes surgery, chemotherapy (anticancer agents), and radiation therapy. Chemotherapy is generally used when metastasis has already occurred at the time of diagnosis and surgery is not curative (metastatic urothelial carcinoma), or when cancer has reappeared after local therapy such as surgery or radiation therapy (recurrent urothelial carcinoma).
Pembrolizumab plus enfoltumab vedotin, cisplatin and gemcitabine (GC) plus nivolumab followed by nivolumab alone, or GC followed by avelumab are the recommended standard of care for patients with metastatic or recurrent urothelial carcinoma. The standard of care for recurrent urothelial carcinoma is Although there are several recommended treatments for urothelial carcinoma, the options are often limited by side effects and other factors, and the effectiveness of these treatments may not be sufficient. Therefore, the development of safer and more effective treatments is desired.
Thus, although treatment methods for urothelial carcinoma are gradually advancing, options are often limited by side effects and other factors, and effectiveness is not yet sufficient. Therefore, the development of safer and more effective treatments is desired.
【About the drugs to be used in this clinical trial】 In this clinical trial, the investigational drug "MIKE-1" will be used in combination with "nivolumab + GC (cisplatin and gemcitabine) combination therapy and subsequent nivolumab monotherapy," which is one of the chemotherapy regimens recommended overseas for patients with unresectable metastatic or recurrent urothelial cancer . Nivolumab, cisplatin and gemcitabine are injectable (intravenous infusion) and MIKE-1 is oral.
・ Investigational drug MIKE-1 (AM80) MIKE-1 is a soft capsule formulation containing the active ingredient AM80 (also called tamivarotene), a member of the vitamin A family called synthetic retinoids.

研究组 & 干预措施
MIKE-1
A characteristic pathology of refractory cancers such as advanced urothelial carcinoma is a high proliferation of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the stroma and associated fibrosis. The investigators have previously identified fibroblast-specific meflin as the first functional marker of tumor suppressive CAFs. The investigators hypothesize that increasing the number of mephrin-positive tumor suppressive CAFs may increase the efficacy of ICI. The investigators investigated this in a mouse model of bladder cancer among urothelial carcinomas and confirmed that AM80 administration markedly increased the therapeutic efficacy of ICI. The investigators considered that the efficacy of ICI may be enhanced in patients with urothelial carcinoma when AM80 is administered in combination with ICI.
Based on the above, The investigators will explore and evaluate the efficacy and confirm the safety of AM80 when administered in combination with nivolumab, gemcitabine, and cisplatin.
干预措施: Add-on effect of adding tamivarotene (AM80) to gemcitabine, cisplatin, and nivolumab combination therapy (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Response rate (RR)
时间窗: Time from the start of treatment (day 1) to the confirmation of complete response (CR: complete disappearance of tumor) or partial response (PR: reduction of tumor by a certain percentage or more). (Average 18 weeks)
Response rate (RR): determined by the investigator or sub-investigator at the site. Tumor shrinkage by the best overall response based on the RECIST criteria will be determined by CT scan at each time point. For the same subject, the same imaging method used to evaluate measurable lesions at screening (e.g., the same contrast method) will be used during the study period in principle. The evaluation on each visit day should be performed by the same evaluator as much as possible to ensure internal consistency between each visit day. The response rate is calculated as the ratio of the total number of subjects with complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). CR or PR shall require "confirmation of efficacy".
次要结局
- Overall survival(Time from day 1 of AM80 administration to death. (Average 49 weeks))
- Progression free survival(Time from day 1 of AM80 administration to the date of confirmed progression. (Average 49 weeks))
- Duration of Response(Time since initiation of treatment from the time PR or CR was first identified to the date of tumor recurrence. (Average 49 weeks))
