About this study

Official title: Cabozantinib in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Cell Carcinoma Who Have Progressed After Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy and Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Therapy or After Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Therapy Only.

In this Phase II study we investigate the benefit of cabozantinib treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastasized urothelial cell carcinoma who have been pre-treated with checkpoint inhibitors only (cohort 1) or who have been pre-treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors (cohort 2). We are lacking adequate response and outcome data in patients after immunotherapy and consider that this study will improve future treatment modalities for this important patient cohort.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CabozantinibDrug

    Also called Cabometyx

    60 mg cabozantinib oral daily. When dose reduction is necessary, it is recommended to reduce to 40 mg daily, and then to 20 mg daily.

Study groups in NCT04066595
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Experimental (cohorts 1 and 2)ExperimentalCohort 1 will consist of patients who have been pre-treated with checkpoint inhibitors only (2nd line setting for cabozantinib). Cohort 2 will consist of patients who have been pre-treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors (3rd line setting for cabozantinib). Both cohorts receive the same treatment.
Receives: Drug: Cabozantinib

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective response rate after 6 months of cabozantinib treatment

    The response rate is defined as the percentage of subjects with a confirmed reduction in tumor size compared to baseline as well as fulfilling the criteria for complete or partial response according to RECIST 1.1. The response to treatment is measured by computer tomography (CT) every 12 weeks starting from the first day of cabozantinib treatment.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from first intake of trial medication to the date of the first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm.

    Measured: Through study completion, up to approximately 2 years

  2. 1-year survival

    Rate of subjects surviving for at least one year after first intake/dose of trial medication

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Overall survival

    The time between first application of trial medication to date of death due to any cause

    Measured: Through study completion, up to approximately 2 years

  4. Clinical benefit rate

    Complete or partial response or stable disease for ≥ 6 months according to RECIST 1.1

    Measured: Through study completion, up to approximately 2 years

  5. Response duration

    Duration of response in months from the first response (CR or PR) to progress after first intake of treatment medication

    Measured: Through study completion, up to approximately 2 years

  6. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who experience an AE will be presented.

    Measured: Through study completion, up to approximately 2 years

  7. Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to Adverse Events (AEs)

    The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be presented.

    Measured: Through study completion, up to approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cabozantinib in people with Urothelial Carcinoma, run by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz at 1 site in Germany.

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 10 inclusion and 43 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 30 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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: Recruitment problems). 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?

Objective response rate after 6 months of cabozantinib treatment (time frame: 6 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 30 Aug 2021.
