Background summary
Urothelial Cancer is the most common tumor of the entire urinary tract and is
the ninth most common cancer diagnosis worldwide, with more than 330000 new
cases each year and more than 130000 deaths per year. Despite the high rate of
disease control (above 80%) in the first-line setting, disease progression
invariably occurs after discontinuing chemotherapy, even in patients who
initially respond to chemotherapy. Approximately 40% of patients are unfit for
cisplatin-containing chemotherapy due to a poor PS, impaired renal function, or
comorbidity. Carboplatin containing chemotherapy is less effective than
cisplatin-based chemotherapy in terms of CR and survival and should not be
considered interchangeable or standard. To date, no standard therapy has been
established for patients who recur or are refractory to first-line therapy, or
in the maintenance setting. The limited number of treatment options reflects
the poor outcome. There is still a significant unmet medical need in urothelial
cancer (UC).
In this study the new investigational product MEDI4736 as monotherapy or as
combinationtherapy with tremelimumab will be compared to SoC treatment for UC.
MEDI4736 is a human mAb of the immunoglobulin G 1 kappa subclass that inhibits
the binding of PD-L1 and tremelimumab is a mAB which binds to the cytotoxic
T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4). Both PD-L1 and CTLA-4 proteins play
a role in the suppression on the immune system which the tumor uses in order to
escape the immune system.
Study objective
To assess the efficacy of MEDI4736 + tremelimumab combination therapy versus
SoC in terms of OS in patients with UC.
Study design
This is a randomized, open-label, controlled, multi-center, global Phase III
study
The patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive treatment with
- MEDI4736 monotherapy
- MEDI4736 + tremelimumab combination therapy
- SoC
Patients will be stratified according to cisplatin eligibility (eligible or
ineligible), programmed
cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) status (positive or negative and visceral
metastasis
Intervention
MEDI4736 monotherapy:
MEDI4736 1.5 g via IV infusion q4w, starting on Week 0
MEDI4736 + tremelimumab combination therapy:
MEDI4736 1.5 g via IV infusion q4w, starting on Week 0.*
Tremelimumab 75 mg via IV infusion q4w, starting on Week 0, for up to 4 months
(4 doses/cycles).
Standard of care
