Comparing the New Anti-cancer Drug Eribulin With or Without Chemotherapy Against the Usual Chemotherapy Alone in Metastatic Urothelial Cancer

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2027-08-15
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase III trial compares the usual chemotherapy treatment to eribulin alone and to eribulin plus gemcitabine in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as eribulin, gemcitabine, docetaxel, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This trial aims to see whether adding eribulin to standard of care chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with metastatic urothelial cancer.

• Phase: Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
• Treatments: Albumin-Bound Paclitaxel; Docetaxel; Gemcitabine; Halichondrin B; Paclitaxel

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participant must have predominant histologically and cytologically proven urothelial carcinoma in a metastatic site

• Participant must have evidence of metastatic urothelial carcinoma based on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 28 days prior to registration

• Participant must have had progression of disease following prior therapy at the discretion of the treating investigator

• Participant must have received previous systemic treatment for metastatic urothelial carcinoma with either a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen, systemic PD1/PDL1 immunotherapy, an antibody drug conjugate such as, enfortumab vedotin or sacituzumab govitecan (through standard of care or a clinical trial). There is no limit to the number of prior regimens patient may have received for urothelial carcinoma

• If participant is a candidate for a platinum-based chemotherapy, then participant must have previously received a platinum-based chemotherapy

• If participant is a candidate for immunotherapy, then participant must have previously received immunotherapy. If participant is not a candidate for immunotherapy, then participant either: (a) must have had prior anti PD1/PDL1 antibody therapy; OR (b) must have not been a candidate for anti PD1/PDL1 antibody therapy in the opinion of the treating physician

• Participant is eligible if platinum based chemotherapy and/or anti PDL/PDL1 antibody therapy was provided in perioperative setting before or after radical cystectomy and if there is evidence of progression to metastatic disease within 12 months of the last dose of therapy. For instance, a patient treated with dose-dense combination of methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (ddMVAC) in neoadjuvant setting, then radical cystectomy followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab on AMBASSADOR trial will meet the requirement for prior/concurrent therapy if progression of disease occurs within 12 months of discontinuation of pembrolizumab

• Participant must have received any planned surgery prior to registration

• Participant must have Zubrod performance status 0-2

• Participant must have history and physical examination within 28 days prior to registration

• Participant must have complete blood count (CBC), complete metabolic panel including liver function tests, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) obtained with 28 days prior to registration

• Participant must have adequate kidney function as evidenced by measured or calculated creatinine clearance >= 50 mL/min within 28 days prior to registration

• Participant must have adequate hepatic function documented by either aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 3 x institutional upper limit of normal (IULN) within 28 days prior to registration. If both AST and ALT are performed, both must be =< 3 x IULN. For participants with liver metastases, AST or ALT must be =< 5 x IULN

• Participant must be on effective anti-retroviral therapy and have undetectable viral load at their most recent viral load test and within 6 months prior to registration if they are known to have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infection

• Participants must have undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load within 28 days prior to registration if participant has known chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection

• Participants with a known history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have an undetectable HCV viral load within 28 days prior to registration

• Participants may have a prior or concurrent malignancy provided the natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen per the opinion of the treating investigator

• Participants must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign and give written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants must not require immediate central nervous system (CNS)-specific treatment, in the opinion of the treating investigator if they have active brain metastases (defined as new or progressive brain metastases) or leptomeningeal disease

• Participant must not have progressed within 3 months following last dose of gemcitabine

• Participant must not have unresolved toxicities from prior surgeries or radiation therapy > grade 1 at the time of registration to registration

• Participants must not be planning to take strong or moderate CYP3A or CYP2C8 inhibitors or inducers if randomized to Arm 1 and standard of care (SOC) regimen chosen is paclitaxel or docetaxel. Participants receiving strong or moderate CYP3A or CYP2C8 inducers must discontinue use at least 2 weeks prior to randomization

• Participant must not have a known history of corrected QT (QTc) prolongation

• Participants must not be pregnant or nursing due to the risk of harm to a fetus or nursing infant. Women and men of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method for the course of the study and 6 months (females) or 3.5 months (males) after the last dose. A woman is considered to be of "reproductive potential" if she has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months. In addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" also includes heterosexual celibacy and surgery intended to prevent pregnancy (or with a side-effect of pregnancy prevention) defined as a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral tubal ligation. However, if at any point a previously celibate participant chooses to become heterosexually active during the time period for use of contraceptive measures outlined in the protocol, he/she is responsible for beginning contraceptive measures
