About this trial

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (UC). Current treatments for locally advanced or metastatic UC include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.

Researchers want to know if giving sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), the trial medicine, can treat locally advanced or metastatic UC that got worse after certain treatments. The goal of this trial is to learn if people who receive sac-TMT live longer than those who receive certain non-platinum chemotherapies.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Has histologically documented locally advanced/metastatic urothelial cancer. Locally advanced disease must not be amenable to resection or radiation with curative intent per investigator assessment

Has measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by the investigator

Has received treatment with anti-programmed cell death [ligand] 1 (anti-PD-[L]1) therapy, platinum-based chemotherapy, and enfortumab vedotin (EV)

Prior therapy with disitamab vedotin (DV) is allowed but will not meet the requirement for prior treatment with EV, except in China, where participants may have received DV instead of EV before study entry

Disqualifiers

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

Has uncontrolled, significant cardiovascular disease or cerebrovascular disease

Has a history of (noninfectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that required steroids, has current ILD/pneumonitis, or has suspected ILD or pneumonitis that cannot be ruled out by standard diagnostic assessments at Screening

HIV-infected participants with a history of Kaposi's sarcoma and/or Multicentric Castleman's Disease

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Overall Survival (OS)

OS is defined as time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Time frame
Up to approximately 40 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first as assessed by Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS as assessed by investigator will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 32 months
2

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1. The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by the investigator will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 32 months
3

Duration of Response (DOR)

For participants who demonstrate a confirmed CR or PR per RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. DOR as assessed by the investigator will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 49 months
4

Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants that experience AEs will be reported.

Time frame
Up to approximately 49 months
