Clinical Trials

Inclusion Criteria: 

• Are ≥ 18 years of age (≥ 20 years of age in Taiwan) of either sex.
• Have signed informed consent.
• Are randomized within 120 days following nephroureterectomy, distal ureterectomy or cystectomy. Note: at the time of definitive surgery, lymph node dissection (LND) should be performed in cases of suspected lymph node invasion based on preoperative imaging or intraoperative findings. In other cases, LND is to be performed in accordance with surgeon preferences/local standard practices.
• Have histologically or cytologically confirmed, invasive urothelial carcinoma with susceptible FGFR3 alterations. Variant histology is allowed provided urothelial carcinoma is predominant (> 50%). Neuroendocrine (including small and large cell), sarcomatoid, and plasmacytoid variants are excluded (any component).
  • Regarding samples and documentation of FGFR3 alterations
  • FGFR3 mutation is confirmed if: FGFR3 gene is mutated in Exon 7 (R248C, S249C), Exon 10 (G370C, A391E, Y373C), or Exon 15 (K650M/T, K650E/Q) OR ii. FGFR3 gene fusion or FGFR3 rearrangement is confirmed based on the following genomic criteria: if: (1) Any fusion/rearrangement with a literature-derived known partner gene regardless of strand or frame;
  • Fusion/rearrangements in the same strand that are in frame with a novel partner gene;
  • Fusion/rearrangements with one breakpoint in the intron 17 - exon 18 hotspot region and the other breakpoint in an intergenic region or another gene. This rule excludes 3′ duplications comprising only exon 18;
  • The amino acid numbers for the FGFR3 mutations refer to the functional FGFR3 isoform 1 (NP_000133.1) that is the NCBI Refseq ID used to report genetic alterations in FGFR3 by the FoundationOne® CDx test (F1CDx, Foundation Medicine, USA);
  • Written documentation of central laboratory determination by F1CDx of FGFR3 alterations is required for study eligibility;
  • For subjects who require molecular prescreening to confirm the presence of the FGFR3 alteration to meet the inclusion criteria, a tumor sample with a pathology report must be sent to Foundation Medicine USA for F1CDx testing. 
  • The tumor sample to be used should be from the definitive surgical resection (cystectomy, nephroureterectomy, or distal ureterectomy).
  • An archival biopsy of confirmed invasive urothelial carcinoma (≥ pT2) can be used if (1) tissue from definitive surgery cannot be submitted, (2) the biopsy sample is not older than 4 months prior to surgery date and (3) the subject did not receive any type of systemic anticancer treatment since the biopsy was obtained. If more than one biopsy is available, the most recent one is to be sent;
  • If status post neoadjuvant chemotherapy, pathologic stage at surgical resection must be Stage ≥ ypT2 and/or yN+. Prior neoadjuvant therapy is defined as at least 3 cycles of neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy with a planned cisplatin dose of 70 mg/m^2 /cycle. Subjects who received less than this or non-cisplatin-based neoadjuvant treatment are not excluded. If enrolled, they will be stratified as having received no neoadjuvant chemotherapy;
  • If not status post neoadjuvant chemotherapy, is ineligible to receive cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy based on Galsky (2011):
  • Creatinine clearance ≤ 60 mL/minute; or
  • Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 5.0) Grade ≥ 2 hearing loss, or iii. CTCAE Grade ≥ 2 neuropathy;
  • Subjects who refuse cisplatin-based chemotherapy or who are ineligible to receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy based on Galsky (2011), must also meet the following criteria:
  • UTUC should be Stage ≥ pT2 pN0-2 (post-lymphadenectomy or no lymphadenectomy [pNx]) , or pN+,  M0;
  • UBC should be Stage ≥ pT3 or pN+, M0;
  • Must have a centrally reviewed negative postoperative computed tomography (CT) (defined as lymph nodes with short axis <1.0 cm and without growth and no distant metastases according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] v1.1) or negative biopsy within 28 days before randomization to confirm absence of disease at baseline.
• If have had AEs associated with prior surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy, they have stabilized or resolved to Grade ≤ 2 before randomization.
• Have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2.
• If a woman of childbearing potential, must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of the first dose of study drug. A woman is not of childbearing potential if she has undergone surgical sterilization (total hysterectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy ≥ 6 weeks before taking study drug) or if she is postmenopausal and has had no menstrual bleeding of any kind including menstrual period, irregular bleeding, spotting, etc., for ≥ 12 months, and there is no other cause of amenorrhea (e.g., hormonal therapy, prior chemotherapy). Women of childbearing potential and males whose sexual partners are women of childbearing potential must agree to use barrier contraception and a second form of contraception (Clinical Trials Facilitation Group 2020) while receiving study drug and for 1 month following their last dose of study drug. Alternatively, total abstinence is also considered a highly effective contraception method when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Sexually active males must use a condom during intercourse while taking study drug and for 1 month after the last dose of study drug and should not father a child during this period. A condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men as well as during intercourse with a male partner to prevent delivery of the study drug via seminal fluid. Study subjects must agree to refrain from donating sperm and eggs during the study and for 1 month following their last dose of study drug.
• Are willing and able to comply with study visits and study procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Presence of positive invasive surgical margins following nephroureterectomy, distal ureterectomy, or cystectomy. In subjects not eligible for further surgery, radiotherapy, or other efficacious treatment, microscopic positive noninvasive margins (e.g., carcinoma in situ) without gross residual disease are allowed.
• Have received Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) or other intravesical therapy for nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) within the previous 30 days.

  • Prior adjuvant treatment for urothelial cancer is not allowed;
  • Prior neoadjuvant therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or investigational) is allowed if inclusion criterion #4 is met. Prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy must have been completed within a period of time that is greater than the cycle length used for that treatment before first dose of study drug;
  • Prior biologic, immunotherapy, or investigational therapy should have been completed within a period that is ≥ 5 half-lives or 30 days, whichever is shorter, before the first dose of study drug.
