TPS495 Background: Patients (pts) with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) who progress after platinum-based chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy and pts ineligible for platinum-based chemotherapy who progress after CPI have limited treatment options and poor outcomes. Trop-2 is an epithelial cell surface antigen that is overexpressed in UC. Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is a novel antibody-drug conjugate that targets Trop-2 and delivers the active metabolite (SN38) of the topoisomerase I inhibitor irinotecan to tumor cells. In a phase 1/2 single-arm trial, pts with advanced cancers received SG 10 mg/kg intravenously on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle; preliminary results in the cohort of 41 evaluable pts with mUC and a median of 3 (range 1–6) prior therapies showed an objective response rate (ORR) of 34%. Adverse events (AE) were mostly low grade, including diarrhea (63%), nausea (56%), and fatigue (49%). Neutropenia (all grades) occurred in 49% of pts (≥ grade 3/4, 39%; treatment-related serious AE of febrile neutropenia, 5%). Median overall survival was 16.1 months, and median progression-free survival was 7.1 months. These results warrant further investigation in a dedicated phase 2 trial. Methods: TROPHY-U-01 is a single-arm, open-label, global phase 2 trial evaluating the antitumor activity and safety of SG in 140 pts with advanced UC. The primary cohort (progression after platinum chemotherapy and CPI) will enroll 100 pts in a Simon 2-stage design with > 90% power accounting for dropouts to exclude the null hypothesis or ORR < 12%, while a second cohort (40 pts) will comprise cisplatin-ineligible pts who received prior CPI. The primary objective is ORR per RECIST 1.1, assessed by central review. Secondary objectives include response duration, PFS, OS, and safety/tolerability. Enrollment began in August 2018. Clinical trial information: NCT03547973.

4505 Background: Locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (la/mUC) remains a lethal disease with limited treatment options for patients (pts) who progress on or after platinum and/or checkpoint inhibitor (CPI). Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting Nectin-4, which is highly expressed in UC. EV-201 is a pivotal, single-arm, two-cohort study of EV in la/mUC patients with prior CPI and platinum-containing chemotherapy (Cohort 1) or a CPI and no prior chemotherapy (Cohort 2). Here, we present preliminary data from Cohort 1. Methods: Pts in this open-label, multicenter study received 1.25 mg/kg EV on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. The primary endpoint was confirmed ORR per RECIST 1.1 by blinded independent central review. Secondary endpoints are duration of response, PFS, OS, safety/tolerability. Results: Between Oct 2017 and Jul 2018, EV-201 enrolled 128 pts in Cohort 1 (la/mUC pts previously treated with platinum and a CPI), 125 of whom were treated with EV (70% male; median age 69 y [range 40–84 y]; 34% upper tract; a median of 2 prior systemic therapies). As of 03 Jan 2019, the confirmed ORR was 42% (95% CI: 33.6%–51.6%), with 9% CR. The ORR in CPI non-responders was 38% (95% CI: 27.3%–49.2%), and 36% (95% CI: 22.9%–50.8%) in pts with liver metastases (LM). Most common treatment-related AEs, as determined by investigators, included fatigue (50%), alopecia (48%), and decreased appetite (41%). Treatment-related AEs of interest include any rash (48% all grade, 11% ≥ G3) and any peripheral neuropathy (50% all grade, 3% ≥ G3). One death was reported as treatment related by the investigator (interstitial lung disease), but was confounded by a suspected pulmonary infection. Conclusions: Preliminary results from this EV pivotal study demonstrated a clinically meaningful ORR, consistent with the phase 1 trial, in la/mUC pts with prior platinum and CPI, including LM pts, where there is a high unmet need. EV was well tolerated with a manageable safety profile in these pts. Updated data, including duration of response, PFS, and OS will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT03219333.

4584 Background: There is still urgent medical needs in the patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) post to the failure of at least one line chemotherapy. RC48-ADC, a novel humanized anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), has proved its efficacy in these patients (RC48-C005, NCT03507166), most of whom had received gemcitabine and platinum. Taking into consideration that taxane is another possible active agent for mUC, this study aims to further evaluate the efficacy of RC48-ADC in HER2 overexpressing mUC post to the failure of platinum, gemcitabine and taxane. Methods: This study was an open-label, multicenter, single-arm, non-randomized phase II study. Eligibility criteria included: histologically confirmed UC, HER2 overexpressing (IHC 2+ or 3+), ECOG PS 0-1, failed platinum, gemcitabine and taxane. The patients received RC48-ADC treatment alone (2 mg/kg IV infusion, q2w) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal, death or study termination. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by blinded independent review committee (BIRC) according to RECIST v1.1. Progress-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), overall survival (OS), and safety was also assessed. Results: Patient enrollment for this study started in December 2018 and completed in September 2020. A total of 64 patients were enrolled, with a median age of 62.5 years. At baseline, most patients (82.8%) had visceral metastasis. Fifty-five patients (85.9%) had received ≥ 2 lines treatment and 19 (29.7%) patients had prior immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy. As of Nov 30, 2020, the confirmed ORR assessed by BIRC was 46.9% (95% CI: 34.3%, 59.8%) and the median DOR was 8.3 months (95% CI: 4.3, NE), the median PFS was 4.3 months (95% CI: 4.0, 6.8). The median OS was 14.8 months (95% CI: 8.7, 21.1). The ORR was 60.0% (15/25) in patients with HER2 IHC3+ or FISH test positive, 45.3% (24/53) in patients with visceral metastasis, 42.1% (8/19) in patients post to CPI therapy. The ORR was 55.6% (5/9), 50.0% (21/20) and 30.8% (4/13), in patients who had received 1 line, 2 lines and ≥ 3 lines treatment, respectively. Most commonly reported TRAEs were leukopenia (45.3%), AST increase (43.8%), neutropenia (42.2%), hypoesthesia (42.2%), ALT increase (37.5%) and fatigue (35.9%); Most commonly reported ≥ grade 3 TRAEs were neutropenia (9.4%) and hypoesthesia (6.3%) Conclusions: In patients with HER2 overexpressing (IHC 2+ or 3+) mUC who had failed platinum, gemcitabine and taxane, and the great majority of whom had received ≥2 prior lines treatment, RC48-ADC has demonstrated consistently excellent efficacy and benefit-risk profile compared with the RC48-C005 study which enrolled patients with mUC who had received ≥1 line prior chemotherapy. Clinical trial information: NCT03809013.

Abstract Background The open-label, randomized, active-controlled KEYNOTE-045 study (NCT02256436) showed that second-line pembrolizumab significantly improved overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced/metastatic urothelial cancer (UC) that progressed after first-line platinum-containing chemotherapy, compared with standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel, docetaxel, or vinflunine). Pembrolizumab is approved for patients with bladder cancer in Japan. Patients and methods Analysis was performed in the subgroup of Japanese patients enrolled in the KEYNOTE-045 study. Coprimary end points were OS and progression-free survival (PFS). Objective response rate (ORR) and safety were secondary end points. Results Fifty-two Japanese patients (pembrolizumab, n = 30; chemotherapy, n = 22) were followed up for a median of 26.1 months. Patients who received pembrolizumab compared with chemotherapy had a 19% lower risk for death (hazard ratio [HR] 0.81, 95% CI 0.44–1.50); after adjusting for baseline covariates, the HR for OS was 0.61 (95% CI 0.32–1.15). The 24-month OS rate was higher with pembrolizumab (26.9% vs 14.3%). PFS was 2.0 and 4.9 months for pembrolizumab and chemotherapy, respectively (HR 1.71, 95% CI 0.95–3.08). ORR was similar for pembrolizumab and chemotherapy (20.0% vs 18.2%); durability of response was higher with pembrolizumab: 67% and 33% of patients, respectively, maintained a response for > 12 months. Treatment-related adverse events, including grade 3–5 events, occurred less frequently with pembrolizumab. Conclusions Pembrolizumab provided durable antitumor activity in patients with locally advanced/metastatic UC that progressed after platinum-containing chemotherapy in the overall population and in the Japanese subgroup; safety profile was consistent with that previously observed for pembrolizumab.
