About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multicenter, Multicohort, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate Enfortumab Vedotin in Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Malignant Solid Tumors (EV-202)

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the antitumor activity of enfortumab vedotin as measured by confirmed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1.

This study will also assess other measures of antitumor activity; overall survival (OS); as well as the safety and tolerability of enfortumab vedotin for cohorts 1 to 8 and enfortumab vedotin + pembrolizumab in cohort 9.

Read the detailed description

This study will consist of 3 periods: screening/baseline, treatment and follow-up.

Screening/baseline period will take place up to 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.

In the treatment period, starting at cycle 1, participants in cohorts 1 to 8 will receive enfortumab vedotin on days 1, 8, and 15 every 28-day cycle until one of the treatment discontinuation criteria are met. participants in cohort 9 will receive enfortumab vedotin on days 1, 8, and pembrolizumab on day 1 of every 21-day cycle until one of the treatment discontinuation criteria are met. Disease assessment will be performed at screening/baseline and repeated every 8 weeks (56 days ± 7 days) for cohorts 1 to 8 and first assessment at week 9 and thereafter every 6 weeks (42 days ± 7 days) for cohort 9 from the first dose of study treatment throughout the study until the participant has radiologically confirmed disease progression, initiates a new subsequent anticancer therapy, dies, withdraws consent, is lost to follow-up or the study closes, whichever occurs first.

Participants who discontinue study treatment for reasons other than radiologically-confirmed disease progression by RECIST Version 1.1 will enter into a post treatment follow-up period and continue to receive imaging scans every 8 weeks (56 days ± 7 days) for cohorts 1 to 8 and for cohort 9 first scan will be performed at 9 week and thereafter every 6 weeks (42 days ± 7 days) until the subject has radiologically confirmed disease progression (for cohort 9 confirmed progressive disease [iCPD] per modified RECIST 1.1 for immune-based therapeutics [iRECIST]), initiates a new anticancer therapy, dies, withdraws consent, is lost to follow-up or the study closes, whichever occurs first.

After 1 year on study treatment, the frequency of disease assessment will be reduced to every 12 weeks (84 days ± 7 days) for cohorts 1 to 8.

After 18 months on study treatment, the frequency of disease assessment will be reduced to every 9 weeks (63 days ± 7 days) for cohort 9.

Participants in cohorts 1to 8 who discontinue study treatment for reasons other than radiologically-confirmed disease progression by RECIST Version 1.1 will enter into a post treatment follow-up period and continue to receive imaging scans every 8 weeks (56 days ± 7 days).

Participants in cohort 9 who discontinue study treatment for reasons other than radiologically confirmed disease progression per iRECIST will enter into a post treatment follow-up period and have physical exams, ECOG and disease assessments every 6 weeks (± 7 days) up to 18 months after first dose, then every 9 weeks (± 7 days) until the subject has radiologically confirmed disease progression per iRECIST.

After radiologically-confirmed disease progression or initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurs first, participants will be contacted every 12 weeks in the long-term follow-up period for survival status until death, withdrawal of consent, lost to follow-up or study closure, whichever occurs first.

    OS was defined as the time from start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause, based on Kaplan-Meier estimate. In the absence of confirmed death, OS was censored at the last date the participant was known to be alive.

    Measured: Up to 34 months

  5. Cohorts 1-8: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs)

    A TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered enfortumab vedotin, and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of enfortumab vedotin whether or not considered related to the enfortumab vedotin. A TEAE is considered "serious" if the event: results in death; is life-threatening; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; results in congenital anomaly or birth defect; requires inpatient hospitalization (except for planned procedures) or leads to prolongation of hospitalization (except if prolongation of planned hospitalization is not caused by a TEAE); or other medically important events.

    Measured: Up to end of treatment + 30 days (32 months)

  6. Cohort 9: DOR Per RECIST V.1.1 Per Investigator Assessment

    DOR was defined as the time from the date of first documented response (CR or PR that is subsequently confirmed) to the date of first documented PD per RECIST V1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. DOR was only calculated for participants achieving a confirmed CR or PR, based on Kaplan-Meier estimate.

    Measured: Up to 12.85 months

  7. Cohort 9: DCR Per RECIST V1.1 Per Investigator Assessment

    DCR was defined as the percentage of participants whose BOR is confirmed CR or PR or SD (≥ 7 weeks).

    Measured: Up to 15 months

  8. Cohort 9: PFS Per RECIST V1.1 by Investigator Assessment

    PFS was defined as the time from start of study intervention to first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, based on Kaplan-Meier estimate.

    Measured: Up to 15 months

  9. Cohort 9: OS

    OS was defined as the time from start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause, based on Kaplan-Meier estimate. In the absence of confirmed death, OS was censored at the last date the participant was known to be alive.

    Measured: Up to 15.4 months

  10. Cohort 9: Number of Participants With TEAEs

    A TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered enfortumab vedotin, and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of enfortumab vedotin whether or not considered related to the enfortumab vedotin. A TEAE is considered "serious" if the event: results in death; is life-threatening; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; results in congenital anomaly or birth defect; requires inpatient hospitalization (except for planned procedures) or leads to prolongation of hospitalization (except if prolongation of planned hospitalization is not caused by an AE); or other medically important events.

    Measured: Up to end of treatment + 30 day (15 months)

A Phase 2 study testing enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab in people with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Malignant Solid Tumors, run by Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc. at 39 sites in 3 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 80 inclusion and 37 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 39 sites in United States, Japan, Canada. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Apr 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Cohorts 1-8: Confirmed Overall Response Rate (ORR) (Complete Response [CR] and Partial Response [PR]) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version (V)1.1 Per Investigator Assessment (time frame: Up to 20.04 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04225117, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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?
