  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects may be male or female and must be ≥ 18 years of age; have an ECOG PS of 0 or 1; and a life expectancy of > 3 months in the Investigator's judgment;
  • Subjects are able to understand and willing to sign the ICF, according to institutional standards, prior to the initiation of any study related procedures
  • Subjects must have histological or cytological evidence of metastatic or advanced urothelial carcinoma (including bladder, urethra, ureters, and renal pelvis that has predominantly transitional cell or urothelial features); and have measurable neoplastic disease according to RECIST v1.1 criteria
  • Subjects must have been previously treated with a platinum-based therapy and progressed; OR Been previously treated with platinum based adjuvant or neo-adjuvant therapy and relapsed or progressed; OR
  • Be platinum-based chemotherapy intolerant or ineligible; OR
  • Have progressed during or after treatment with approved PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors
  • Subjects must have a tumor accessible for fresh biopsy at the baseline visit and for IDO assessment. If current circumstances prohibit the biopsy procedure (e.g., temporary hospital protocol restrictions, regulatory or local authority requirements, etc.) then archived tissue from previous biopsies (fresh frozen tissue < 9 months and formalin fixed-paraffin embedded [FFPE] block of ≤ 24 months) without intervening checkpoint inhibitors can substitute for a fresh baseline biopsy;
  • Subjects must be able to swallow the solid (encapsulated) dosage form of KHK2455

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who have been previously treated with avelumab or any IDO1 inhibitor or CTLA-4, PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors; or any investigational immunotherapy including but not limited to anti-cancer vaccines or oncotropic viruses
  • Subjects with prior or current liver metastases;
  • Subjects with a history of organ transplant or allogeneic bone marrow transplant;
  • Subjects with pre-existing uveitis or other known clinically meaningful retinal disorders as determined by a local ophthalmologist

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Phase 1 Study of KHK2455 in Combination With Avelumab in Adult Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma

This is a two-part (dose-escalation, dose-expansion), multicenter, open-label Phase 1 study of KHK2455 in combination with avelumab in adult subjects with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (including bladder, urethra, ureters, and renal pelvis).

Read the detailed description

This is a two-part (dose-escalation, dose-expansion), multicenter, open-label Phase 1 study of KHK2455 in combination with avelumab in adult subjects with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (including bladder, urethra, ureters, and renal pelvis). Subjects will be screened for entry into this study after signing informed consent. Subjects must meet inclusion/exclusion criteria to participate in this study.

  • Part 1 (dose-escalation phase) has a modified 3+3 design that will evaluate the safety and tolerability and identify the MTD or highest protocol-defined dose, in the absence of exceeding the MTD.
  • Part 2 (cohort-expansion phase) will further explore the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activity for the combination regimen at the MTD or highest dose level tested.
Being tested
KHK2455, Avelumab

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing KHK2455 and Avelumab in people with Urothelial Carcinoma, run by Kyowa Kirin, Inc. at 9 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States, Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Termination was based on the business decision). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v.5.0 (time frame: up to 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Apr 2024.
