Objectives
The primary objective of this Phase II open-label study is to evaluate the **objective response rate (ORR)** based on blinded independent central review (BICR) using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. This is clinically relevant as ORR is a critical measure of the efficacy of cancer treatments, indicating the proportion of patients with a significant reduction in tumor size. Additionally, progression-free survival (PFS) based on BICR by RECIST 1.1 criteria is assessed in Cohort 5, and the safety and tolerability of sacituzumab govitecan (SG) in combination with enfortumab vedotin (EV) and zimberelimab (ZIM) are evaluated in Cohort 7.
Secondary objectives include:
- Cohorts 1 and 2: Duration of response (DOR), PFS, and overall survival (OS) based on central review by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
- Cohort 3: DOR, clinical benefit rate (CBR), and PFS based on BICR by RECIST 1.1 criteria; ORR, DOR, CBR, and PFS based on investigator review by RECIST 1.1 and modified RECIST 1.1 for immune-based therapeutics (iRECIST) criteria; OS; safety and tolerability of SG in combination with pembrolizumab.
- Cohort 4: DOR, CBR, and PFS based on BICR by RECIST 1.1 criteria; ORR, DOR, CBR, and PFS based on investigator review by RECIST 1.1 and iRECIST criteria; OS; safety and tolerability of SG in combination with cisplatin.
- Cohort 5: OS; safety and tolerability of SG in combination with ZIM.
- Cohort 6: DOR, CBR, and PFS based on central review by RECIST 1.1 criteria; ORR, DOR, CBR, and PFS based on investigator review by RECIST 1.1 criteria; OS; safety and tolerability of SG alone, in combination with ZIM, and in combination with ZIM and domvanalimab (DOM).
- Cohort 7: ORR based on BICR by RECIST 1.1 criteria; DOR, CBR, and PFS based on investigator review and BICR by RECIST 1.1 criteria; ORR, DOR, CBR, and PFS based on investigator review by iRECIST criteria; OS.
Participants
The clinical trial involves a total of **203 participants** diagnosed with **locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer**. The study population includes both male and female subjects aged 18 years and older, with a specific age threshold of 19 years for participants from South Korea. Participants were selected based on their diagnosis of histologically confirmed urothelial cancer, with the requirement of having measurable disease as per RECIST 1.1 criteria. The trial includes individuals who are cisplatin-ineligible and those who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic or unresectable locally advanced disease. Participants are required to have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, indicating they are fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory. The trial population is characterized by adequate hematologic and hepatic function, and a creatinine clearance of at least 30 mL/min. Lifestyle considerations such as diet and physical activity are not specified in the available data. The study includes a vulnerable population, and both male and female subjects of childbearing potential are required to use protocol-specified contraception methods. The sponsor has not provided additional information regarding specific lifestyle factors or habits of the participants.
Plans and Procedures
The clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of **sacituzumab govitecan** in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. This is a Phase II, open-label study, which means that both the researchers and participants know which treatment is being administered. The trial is expected to run from June 2019 to April 2025, with the primary objective being the assessment of the objective response rate (ORR) based on blinded independent central review (BICR) using RECIST 1.1 criteria. Secondary endpoints include duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS), evaluated through both central and investigator assessments.
Participants will undergo a series of study visits, beginning with a screening visit to determine eligibility based on specific inclusion criteria, such as age, creatinine clearance, and prior treatment history. The trial includes multiple cohorts, each with distinct eligibility requirements and treatment regimens. For instance, Cohort 6 includes cisplatin-ineligible patients who have not received prior therapy for metastatic disease. The study involves regular follow-up visits to monitor the participants' health status, response to treatment, and any adverse effects. These visits are crucial for collecting data on the primary and secondary endpoints.
The expected duration of participant involvement varies depending on the cohort and treatment response, but the maximum treatment period is generally six months, with some exceptions extending up to 28 months. Participants may be withdrawn from the study early if they experience unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or if they choose to withdraw consent. The end-of-study visit will occur after the completion of the treatment regimen or upon early termination, during which final assessments will be conducted to evaluate the overall outcomes of the trial.

For Cohort 5, the primary endpoint is **Progression-Free Survival (PFS)** based on BICR, also assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria. In Cohort 6, the primary endpoint is ORR based on BICR, and for Cohort 7, the primary efficacy endpoint is confirmed ORR based on investigator review, both assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
Secondary efficacy endpoints vary across cohorts. For Cohorts 1 and 2, they include Duration of Response (DOR), PFS based on central review, and Overall Survival (OS). For Cohorts 3 and 4, secondary endpoints include DOR, Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR), and PFS based on BICR, as well as ORR, DOR, CBR, and PFS based on investigator assessment by RECIST 1.1 criteria and OS. In Cohort 5, the secondary endpoint is OS. Cohort 6's secondary endpoints include DOR, CBR, and PFS based on BICR, and ORR, DOR, CBR, and PFS based on investigator assessment by RECIST 1.1 criteria, with evaluations also according to iRECIST criteria.
