441 Background: Platinum chemotherapy is the standard for patients (pts) with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) in the first line (1L) setting. In cisplatin-ineligible pts, gem/carbo is a standard therapy, but is poorly tolerated with limited durability and survival. PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab (P), have shown promising durability in this setting for PD-L1 high patients. Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is an antibody-drug conjugate that delivers the microtubule-disrupting agent MMAE to cells expressing Nectin-4, which is highly expressed in UC. EV has shown activity in previously treated mUC. Initial EV + P data were previously presented (Hoimes ESMO 2019); this provides first durability data and an update on safety/ORR. Methods: This multicohort study (NCT03288545) evaluated the safety/activity of EV + P. We report a cohort of 1L cis-ineligible patients treated with EV 1.25 mg/kg + P. In each 3-week cycle, EV was administered on Days 1 and 8 and P on Day 1. The primary endpoint was safety/tolerability; secondary objectives included determination of recommended EV dose, ORR, DCR, DOR/PFS per RECIST v1.1, and OS. Results: As of 8 Oct 2019, 45 mUC pts (median age 69 yr [51–90]) received a median of 9 (range 1-22) cycles of EV + P. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AE) were fatigue (58%, 11% ≥G3), alopecia (53%), and peripheral sensory neuropathy (53%, 4% ≥G3). One pt died due to an AE reported as related (multiple organ failure). With a median follow-up of 11.5 mo, confirmed investigator-assessed ORR was 73.3% (95% CI, 58.1, 85.4) including 15.6% CRs; DCR was 93.3%. The ORR in pts with liver metastasis was 53.3% (8/15). The ORR in pts with available PD-L1 status was 78.6% in PD-L1 high (11/14) and 63.2% in PD-L1 low (12/19). Of the 33 responders, 18 (55%) have ongoing responses including 11 responses beyond 10 months. The median DOR was not reached (range 1.2 to 12.9+ mo). The median PFS was 12.3 mo (95% CI, 7.98, -). Conclusions: In 1L cis-ineligible pts with mUC, EV + P, a potential platinum free option, demonstrates promising activity and durability, with a manageable safety profile. Further evaluation of EV + P in mUC and muscle-invasive UC is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03288545.

5044 Background: Platinum chemotherapy is the standard for patients (pts) with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) in the first line (1L) setting. PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab (P), have shown promising durability in this setting for PD-L1 high patients. Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is an antibody-drug conjugate that delivers the microtubule-disrupting agent MMAE to cells expressing Nectin-4, which is highly expressed in UC. EV recently received FDA accelerated approval based on tumor response rates for adults with locally advanced or mUC who have previously received a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and a platinum-containing chemotherapy. EV is investigational in the 1L setting. Initial EV + P data were previously presented (Hoimes ESMO 2019); this provides durability data and an update on safety/ORR. Methods: This multicohort study (NCT03288545) evaluated the safety/activity of EV + P. We report a cohort of 1L cisplatin-ineligible patients treated with EV 1.25 mg/kg + P.

The primary endpoint was safety/tolerability; secondary objectives included determination of recommended EV dose, ORR, DCR, DOR/PFS per RECIST v1.1, and OS. Results: As of 8 Oct 2019, 45 1L or previously untreated mUC pts (median age 69 yr [51–90]) received a median of 9 (range 1-22) cycles of EV + P. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AE) were fatigue (58%, 11% ≥G3), alopecia (53%), and peripheral sensory neuropathy (53%, 4% ≥G3).

Of the 33 responders, 18 (55%) have ongoing responses including 11 responses beyond 10 months. The median DOR was not reached (range 1.2 to 12.9+ mo); the 12-month DOR rate was 53.7% (95% CI, 27.4, 74.1). The median PFS was 12.3 mo (95% CI, 7.98, -); the 12-month PFS rate was 50.1% (95% CI, 33.0, 65.0). The median OS was not reached (range 0.66 to 19.2+ mo); the 12-month OS rate was 81.6% (95% CI, 62.0, 91.8). Conclusions: In 1L cisplatin-ineligible pts with mUC, EV + P, a potential platinum free option, demonstrates promising activity and durability, with a manageable safety profile. Further evaluation of EV + P in mUC and muscle-invasive UC is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03288545 .

: Urothelial carcinoma has become the ninth most common malignancy in the world. Since 1980s, diverse studies and treatment methods came out with their possible effects along with certain limitations. Initially, platinum chemotherapy was considered as first line treatment of the disease. Although it was proved to be effective in the beginning yet most number of cases reported the reoccurrence of the disease. Furthermore, aberrant ligand-dependent and constitutive ligandindependent fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signalling has been reported in large number of solid tumours including urothelial carcinoma that became the basis for FGFR inhibition for the treatment of the disease. Erdafitinib is a pan-FGFR inhibitor that was recently approved in the USA for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic FGFR3 or FGFR2 urothelial carcinoma. The drug is also being investigated as a treatment for other cancers including cholangiocarcinoma, liver cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma cancer and oesophageal cancer. This article summarizes the various treatments evolved for bladder cancer till now, brief description of biology of FGFR inhibition, clinical pharmacology and various clinical trials of erdafitinib.

393 Background: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC) have poor survival following progression after platinum-containing chemotherapy and PD-1/L1 inhibitor regimens. Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is an antibody-drug conjugate directed to Nectin-4, a cell adhesion molecule highly expressed in urothelial carcinoma, with remarkable efficacy observed in a single-arm trial in this setting. This randomized phase III study (EV-301) was performed to confirm these findings. Methods: EV-301 (NCT03474107) is a global, open-label phase III study of EV vs chemotherapy conducted in patients with la/mUC who had received a prior platinum-containing chemotherapy and had disease progression during or after PD-1/L1 inhibitor treatment. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive EV (1.25 mg/kg) on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle or investigator choice of standard docetaxel, paclitaxel, or vinflunine chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS); secondary endpoints included investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR) per RECIST v1.1, as well as safety/tolerability. A prespecified interim analysis, which tested OS at an adjusted 1-sided significance level of P = 0.00679, was performed when ≥285 deaths had occurred. The results of this interim analysis are presented here. Results: Overall, 608 patients with la/mUC were randomly assigned to EV (n=301) or chemotherapy (n=307). As of July 15, 2020, 301 deaths had occurred (EV, n=134; chemotherapy, n=167). After an 11.1 mo follow-up, median OS was significantly prolonged by 3.9 mo with EV compared with chemotherapy (median OS: 12.9 vs 9.0 mo, respectively; HR=0.70 [95% CI: 0.56-0.89], 1-sided P =0.001). Additionally, the OS benefit of EV was retained in the majority of prespecified subgroups. Progression-free survival also was improved with EV (5.6 mo) vs chemotherapy (3.7 mo) (HR=0.61 [95% CI: 0.50-0.75]; 1-sided P <0.00001). Both ORR and DCR were significantly higher with EV vs chemotherapy (40.6% vs 17.9% and 71.9% vs 53.4%, respectively; 1-sided P <0.001 each). Rates of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs; 93.9% vs 91.8%), including serious TRAEs (22.6% vs 23.4%), were comparable between the EV and chemotherapy groups. Rates of grade ≥3 TRAEs were ~50% in both groups; decreased neutrophil count (13.4%) and white blood cell count (6.9%) were more common in the chemotherapy group, and maculo-papular rash (7.4%) was more common in the EV group. Conclusions: EV is the first therapy to show significant survival advantage over standard chemotherapy in patients with treatment-experienced la/mUC. With robust clinical benefit and a tolerable safety profile, EV is a new standard of care for this aggressive disease. Clinical trial information: NCT03474107.

Abstract Background ATLAS evaluated the efficacy and safety of the PARP inhibitor rucaparib in patients with previously treated locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). Methods Patients with UC were enrolled independent of tumor homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status and received rucaparib 600 mg BID. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (RECIST v1.1) in the intent-to-treat and HRD-positive (loss of genome-wide heterozygosity ≥10%) populations. Key secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and safety. Disease control rate (DCR) was defined post-hoc as the proportion of patients with a confirmed complete or partial response (PR), or stable disease lasting ≥16 weeks. Results Of 97 enrolled patients, 20 (20.6%) were HRD-positive, 30 (30.9%) HRD-negative, and 47 (48.5%) HRD-indeterminate. Among 95 evaluable patients, there were no confirmed responses. However, reductions in the sum of target lesions were observed, including 6 (6.3%) patients with unconfirmed PR. DCR was 11.6%; median PFS was 1.8 months (95% CI, 1.6–1.9). No relationship was observed between HRD status and efficacy endpoints. Median treatment duration was 1.8 months (range, 0.1–10.1). Most frequent any-grade treatment-emergent adverse events were asthenia/fatigue (57.7%), nausea (42.3%), and anemia (36.1%). Of 64 patients with data from tumor tissue samples, 10 (15.6%) had a deleterious alteration in a DNA damage repair pathway gene, including four with a deleterious BRCA1 or BRCA2 alteration. Conclusions Rucaparib did not show significant activity in unselected patients with advanced UC regardless of HRD status. The safety profile was consistent with that observed in patients with ovarian or prostate cancer. Trial registration This trial was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03397394). Date of registration: 12 January 2018. This trial was registered in EudraCT (2017–004166-10).

458 Background: There are currently limited options for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC) following progression on platinum chemotherapy and anti-programmed death 1/death-ligand 1 (PD-1/L1) therapy. Further, limited data are available from clinical trials or real-world studies on outcomes in this population. This retrospective analysis investigated clinical outcomes in patients treated with taxane monotherapy, a commonly used and NCCN guideline-recommended option in this setting. Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years with histologically-confirmed diagnosis of la/mUC on or after 2011, ≥2 clinical visits, and sufficient relevant unstructured data were included from the de-identified nationwide Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived database. The study cohort included patients treated with taxane monotherapy (docetaxel, paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel) following anti-PD-1/L1 therapy and who have received prior platinum containing chemotherapy. Baseline characteristics, overall survival (OS), real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) based on clinician documentation of disease status, and real-world response (rwR) based on clinician-confirmed radiologic assessments were reported. Patients were followed until death, data cutoff, or loss to follow up. Results: Among 276 patients treated following anti-PD-1/L1 therapy and who met all of the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 72 were treated with taxanes and also had documented prior platinum chemotherapy. Patients were mostly male (75%) and Caucasian (74%), with a mean age of 73 years. 65% had > 2 sites of metastasis at index (start date of taxane). Post index, median OS = 7.6 months (95% CI 5.2, 14.4) and median rwPFS = 2.9 months (95% CI, 2.4, 4.0). Among the 50 patients with ≥1 rwR assessment, confirmed rwR = 18% (95% CI: 9%, 32%). Conclusions: In the real-world setting, limited responses to taxanes and short duration of PFS and OS were observed in patients with la/mUC previously treated with a platinum and anti-PD-1/L1 therapy. There is a need for more effective therapies to improve clinical outcomes for this patient population.

4539 Background: In EV-301, a randomized, open-label phase 3 study (NCT03474107), enfortumab vedotin (EV), a Nectin-4–directed therapy, significantly prolonged median overall survival by ̃3.9 months and reduced the risk of death by 30% compared with standard chemotherapy (SC; docetaxel, paclitaxel, or vinflunine) in patients with previously treated locally advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Understanding patient perspectives and experiences is important to further contextualize the benefits/risks of EV. Here, we report key prespecified quality-of-life (QoL) endpoints, a secondary objective of EV-301. Methods: Patients completed the validated European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) at baseline, on Day 1 of each week for the first 12 weeks, and then every 12 weeks until discontinuation. The QLQ-C30 assessed functional domains, symptom scales/items, financial impact, and overall health/QoL. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize instrument compliance rates and scores; mixed model repeated measures were used to evaluate changes from baseline over time. Logistic regressions were conducted to assess confirmed improvement rates, defined as clinically meaningful improvement (predefined per domain) over two subsequent visits. Results: Of the 608 randomized patients (EV, n = 301; SC, n = 307), 77.3% were male, median age was 68 (range: 30-88), and 30.9% had liver metastasis. Questionnaire compliance rates at baseline were ̃90% in both groups; during the study, average rates were 70.2% (EV) and 66.9% (SC). Baseline QLQ-C30 scores were similar between groups. At Week 12, scores on the global health status (GHS) scale were similar between groups (EV: -2.8, SC: -5.0; P=.2429), but SC was associated with numerically greater deterioration and more variability in QoL over the first 12 weeks. Patients receiving EV had significant reduction in pain symptoms (EV: -5.62, SC: +0.11; adjusted difference: -5.73, P<.05), but significant worsening of appetite loss (EV: +8.55, SC: +1.26; adjusted difference: 7.29, P<.05) compared with SC. Other symptom scores were not significantly different between groups. Higher proportions of patients on EV vs SC had significant confirmed improvements across all functioning domains (role, physical, emotional, social, cognitive), GHS, and several symptom scales (pain, fatigue, dyspnea, constipation). The greatest difference in improvement was reported for pain (EV: 51.6%, SC: 28.8%; OR = 2.76[1.81, 4.22]). Conclusions: Compared with SC, patients receiving EV had numerically less deterioration and variability in QoL during the first 12 weeks of treatment. More patients in the EV group had improvements over SC in 10 of 15 QLQ-C30 domains; improvement in pain showed the largest benefit. Clinical trial information: NCT03474107.
