About this trial

The goal of the study is to learn about the safety of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan and if people can tolerate it when given in the bladder and find the highest dose that people can take without having certain problems. Researchers will then choose a dose level of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan to use in future studies to learn how well the drug works.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Has recurrent low-grade (Ta) Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) in the bladder

Must have visible tumor by cystoscopy within 12 weeks prior to first dose

Multiple tumors

>1 occurrence of low-grade NMIBC within 1 year of the current diagnosis at Screening

Disqualifiers

Newly diagnosed low-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (Ta NMIBC) in the bladder

Past or current history of high-grade (Ta or T1 or CIS) NMIBC, muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC)

Has a condition that would prohibit normal voiding (or hold bladder voiding for 1 to 2 hours)

Has history of documented severe dry eye syndrome, severe Meibomian gland disease, and/or blepharitis, or severe corneal disease that prevents and/or delays corneal healing

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Sacituzumab tirumotecan

    Drug

    Intravesical administration

  • Rescue medication

    Drug

    Participants are allowed to take rescue medication for stomatitis or oral mucositis. At the discretion of the investigator, participants are provided with a prescription for rescue medications. Recommended rescue medications are antihistamine, histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonist, acetaminophen or equivalent, dexamethasone or equivalent infusion or steroid mouthwash (dexamethasone or equivalent), antiemetic medications, oral nystatin suspension or antifungal medications, antidiarrheal agents, antiemetic agents, opiate and non-opiate analgesic agents, appetite stimulants, and granulocyte and erythroid growth factors.

  • Supportive care measures

    Drug

    Participants are allowed to take supportive care measures for the management of adverse events associated with study intervention at the discretion of the investigator. Artificial tear drops or gel may be given as a supportive care for Ocular Surface Toxicity.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

DLT will be defined as any drug-related adverse event (AE) observed during the DLT evaluation period (7 weeks). All toxicities will be graded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0.

Time frame
Up to approximately 7 weeks
2

Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE)

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study treatment which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of study treatment, is also an AE. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.

Time frame
Up to approximately 10 weeks
3

Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment due to an Adverse Event (AE)

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study treatment which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of study treatment, is also an AE. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be reported.

Time frame
Up to approximately 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC of sac-TIMT ADC

Time frame
Up to approximately 6 weeks
2

Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax) of sac-TMT ADC

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of sac-TMT ADC

Time frame
Up to approximately 6 weeks
3

Minimum Serum Concentration (Cmin) of sac-TMT ADC

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmin of sac-TMT ADC

Time frame
Up to approximately 6 weeks
4

Serum Apparent terminal half-life (t½) of sac-TMT ADC

Blood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of sac-TMT ADC

Time frame
Up to approximately 6 weeks
