About this study
Official title: An Open-Label, Randomized Phase 3 Study to Evaluate Enfortumab Vedotin vs Chemotherapy in Subjects With Previously Treated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Cancer (EV-301)
The purpose of this study was to compare the overall survival (OS) of participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer treated with enfortumab vedotin (EV) to the OS of participants treated with chemotherapy.
This study compared progression-free survival on study therapy (PFS1); the overall response rate (ORR) and the disease control rate (DCR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) V1.1 of participants treated with EV to participants treated with chemotherapy.
In addition, this study evaluated the duration of response (DOR) per RECIST V1.1 of EV and chemotherapy and assessed the safety and tolerability of EV, as well as, the quality of life (QOL) and Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) parameters.

Receives: Drug: Enfortumab Vedotin |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the documented date of death from any cause. OS was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Participants who were still alive at the time of data cutoff date were to be censored at the last known alive date or at the data cutoff date, whichever was earlier.
Measured: From randomization until the analysis cut-off date of 15-Jul-2020 (median OS follow-up was 11.10 months)
Secondary outcomes (8)
Progression Free Survival on Study Therapy (PFS1) as Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
PFS: time from date of randomization until date of documented radiological disease progression (PD) per investigator based on RECIST V1.1, or until death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: >= 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum, and sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of >= 5 mm. Appearance of 1 or more new lesions is also considered progression. A participant who neither progressed nor died was censored at date of last radiological assessment (RA)/ date of randomization if no post-baseline RA was available. Participants who received any further anticancer therapy (ACT) for disease before radiological progression was censored at date of last RA before ACT started and participants who had PD/death after >=2 missed RAs were censored at last RA prior to 2 or more missed RAs. Kaplan-Meier estimates was used. Median time of follow-up for PFS was based on data cut-off \& is same as median follow-up time for OS.
Measured: From randomization until the analysis cut-off date of 15-Jul-2020 (median OS follow-up was 11.10 months)
Overall Response Rate (ORR) as Per RECIST V1.1
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on the RECIST v1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and nontarget lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm from baseline measurement. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters (longest for nonnodal lesions, short axis for nodal lesions) of target lesions taking as reference to the baseline sum of diameters. ORR was analysed using exact method based on binomial distribution (Clopper-Pearson). Median time of follow up for ORR was based on data cut-off and is same as median follow-up time for OS.
Measured: From randomization until the analysis cut-off date of 15-Jul-2020 (median OS follow-up was 11.10 months)
Disease Control Rate (DCR) as Per RECIST V1.1
DCR was defined as the percentage of participants with a CR, PR or a stable disease (SD) based on RECIST v1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and nontarget lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm from baseline measurement. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters (longest for nonnodal lesions, short axis for nodal lesions) of target lesions taking as reference to the baseline sum of diameters. SD was defined as neither sufficient decrease to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters while on study drug. Progressive disease is defined in PFS1 endpoint. DCR was analysed using exact method based on binomial distribution (Clopper-Pearson). Median time of follow up for DCR was based on data cut-off and is same as median follow-up time for OS.
Measured: From randomization until the analysis cut-off date of 15-Jul-2020 (median OS follow-up was 11.10 months)
Duration of Response (DOR) as Per RECIST V1.1
DOR: time from the date of the first CR/PR (whichever is first recorded) that was subsequently confirmed as assessed by investigator to the date of documented PD or death due to any cause whichever occurred first. If a participant has neither progressed nor died, the participant was censored at the date of last RA or at the date of first CR/PR if no subsequent post-baseline RA was available. Participants who received any further ACT for the disease before radiological progression were censored at the date of the last RA before the ACT started. In addition, participants who had PD/death after >= 2 missed RAs were censored at the last RA prior to the 2 or more missed RAs. Kaplan-Meier estimates was used. Median time of follow up for DOR was based on data cut-off and is same as median follow-up time for OS. CR/PR and PD were defined in ORR and PFS1 endpoints, respectively.
Measured: From date of first objective response until the analysis cut-off date of 15-Jul-2020 (median OS follow-up was 11.10 months)
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC] Quality of Life Questionnaire Global Health Status (QL2 Score)
EORTC QLQ-C30 is a generic questionnaire consisting of 30 items. The instrument yields functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, social), symptom scales/items (fatigue, Nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea), global health status, and financial impact score. Most items are scored 1 ("not at all") to 4 ("very much") except for the items contributing to the global health status/QoL, which are scored 1 ("very poor") to 7 ("excellent"). The recall period for each question is "during the past week". All raw domain scores are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale with higher scores on symptoms indicate a worse health state. Higher scores on the global health status and functioning scales indicate better health status/function.
Measured: Baseline and week 12
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in EuroQOL 5-dimension 5-level Questionnaire [EQ-5D-5L] Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
EQ-5D-5L is a health status instrument for self-reported assessment of 5 domains of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each domain is rated by selecting 1 of 5 standardized categorizations ranging from no problem to extreme problem. The final question is a visual analogue scale (VAS) to rank health status from 0 (best health imaginable) to 100 (worst health imaginable).
Measured: Baseline and week 12
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. A TEAE is defined as an AE observed or worsened after starting administration of the study drug.
Measured: From first dose up to 30 days after last dose (Median (range) time on study drug was 4.99 (0.5, 19.4) months in enfortumab vedotin and 3.45 (0.2, 15.0) months in chemotherapy group)
Number of Participants With ECOG Performance Status
ECOG performance status was measured on an 6 point scale. 0-Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction.
- Restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work.
- Ambulatory and capable of all self-care but unable to carry out any work activities. Up and about more than 50% of waking hours.
- Capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours.
- Completely disabled. Cannot carry on any self-care. Totally confined to bed or chair.
- Dead. Number of participants with ECOG PS was reported.
Measured: End of treatment (EOT) (Median (range) time on study drug was 4.99 (0.5, 19.4) months in enfortumab vedotin and 3.45 (0.2, 15.0) months in chemotherapy group)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this study was to compare the overall survival (OS) of participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer treated with enfortumab vedotin (EV) to the OS of participants treated with chemotherapy.
This study compared progression-free survival on study therapy (PFS1); the overall response rate (ORR) and the disease control rate (DCR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) V1.1 of participants treated with EV to participants treated with chemotherapy.
In addition, this study evaluated the duration of response (DOR) per RECIST V1.1 of EV and chemotherapy and assessed the safety and tolerability of EV, as well as, the quality of life (QOL) and Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) parameters.
Detailed description
Japan PMDA has approved enfortumab vedotin (Padcev) for the treatment of advanced urothelial cancer. The study will continue as a post marketing study in Japan.
Participants considered an adult according to local regulation at the time of obtaining informed consent participated in the study.

Key inclusion criteria (26 listed)
- Subject is legally an adult according to local regulation at the time of signing informed consent.
- Subject has histologically or cytologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma (i.e., cancer of the bladder, renal pelvis, ureter, or urethra). Subjects with urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell) with squamous differentiation or mixed cell types are eligible.
- Subject must have experienced radiographic progression or relapse during or after a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) (anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) or anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)) for locally advanced or metastatic disease. Subjects who discontinued CPI treatment due to toxicity are eligible provided that the subjects have evidence of disease progression following discontinuation. The CPI need not be the most recent therapy. Subjects for whom the most recent therapy has been a non-CPI based regimen are eligible if the subjects have progressed/relapsed during or after the subjects most recent therapy. Locally advanced disease must not be amenable to resection with curative intent per the treating physician.
- Subject must have received a platinum containing regimen (cisplatin or carboplatin) in the metastatic/locally advanced, neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting. If platinum was administered in the adjuvant/neoadjuvant setting subject must have progressed within 12 months of completion.
- Subject has radiologically documented metastatic or locally advanced disease at baseline.
Key exclusion criteria (25 listed)
- Subject has preexisting sensory or motor neuropathy Grade ≥ 2.
- Subject has active central nervous system (CNS) metastases. Subjects with treated CNS metastases are permitted on study if all the following are true:
- Subject has ongoing clinically significant toxicity (Grade 2 or higher with the exception of alopecia) associated with prior treatment (including systemic therapy, radiotherapy or surgery). Subject with ≤ Grade 2 immunotherapy-related hypothyroidism or panhypopituitarism may be enrolled when well-maintained/controlled on a stable dose of hormone replacement therapy (if indicated). Subjects with ongoing ≥ Grade 3 immunotherapy-related hypothyroidism or panhypopituitarism are excluded. Subjects with ongoing immunotherapy related colitis, uveitis, or pneumonitis or subjects with other immunotherapy related AEs requiring high doses of steroids (> 20 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent) are excluded.
- Subject has prior treatment with EV or other monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE)-based Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs).
- Subject has received prior chemotherapy for urothelial cancer with all available study therapies in the control arm (i.e., both prior paclitaxel and docetaxel in regions where vinflunine is not an approved therapy, or prior paclitaxel, docetaxel and vinflunine in regions where vinflunine is an approved therapy).
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.
