Background summary
Locally advanced or mUC is a serious and incurable condition with poor
long-term survival and a high unmet medical need.
Pembrolizumab is approved for the 1L treatment of patients with la/mUC who are
not eligible for chemotherapy.
EV was approved for la/mUC who have previously received a PD-1 or PD-L1
inhibitor and platinum-containing chemotherapy and
for cisplatin-ineligible patients who have received one or more prior lines of
therapy.
The preliminary results with the combination of pembrolizumab and EV show a
better tumor response and survival in patients with la/mUC but there is still a
need to further improve outcomes for patients with this aggressive disease.
The aim of substudy 04B is to build upon the efficacy of the combination of
pembrolizumab and EV, with the addition of novel immunotherapy agents (MK-4280
and MK-7684)

Study design
This is a Phase 1/2 randomized, parallel-group, multi-site, open-label substudy
of MK-4280A plus EV (Arm A) and MK-7684A plus EV (Arm B) versus pembrolizumab
plus EV (Arm C) in participants with la/mUC previously untreated for their
advanced disease.
This substudy will consist of 2 parts. Part 1 will evaluate the efficacy and
safety of Arms A and B relative to Arm C. Based on results from Part 1, the
Sponsor may consider further development of the treatment arm(s) of interest
under Part 2 of the substudy.
Participants in Arm A will receive EV at 1.25 mg/kg, administered as an IV
infusion over approximately 30 minutes on Days 1 and 8 of every 3-week cycle,
and MK-4280A (800 mg MK-4280/200 mg pembrolizumab) as an IV infusion on Day 1
of every 3-week cycle (Q3W), after completion of the EV infusion.
Participants in Arm B will receive EV at 1.25 mg/kg, administered as an IV
infusion on Days 1 and 8 of every 3-week cycle, and MK-7684A (200 mg
MK-7684/200 mg pembrolizumab) as an IV infusion on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle
(Q3W), after completion of the EV infusion.
Participants in Arm C will receive EV at 1.25 mg/kg, administered as an IV
infusion on Days 1 and 8 of every 3-week cycle, and pembrolizumab 200 mg as an
IV infusion on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle (Q3W), after completion of the EV
infusion
In Part 1, a total of 120 participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to
arm A, B and C.
If the Sponsor considers further development of the treatment arm(s) of
interest is warranted, Part 2 will be conducted. In Part 2, a maximum of
approximately 270 participants (approximately 90 participants per arm) will be
randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to Arms A, B, and C or in a 1:1 ratio to Arms A and
C or B and C, depending on the treatment Arm(s) that are expanded in Part
2.Therefore, the total sample size may vary from approximately 120 participants
if only Part 1 is conducted, approximately 300 participants if Part 1 and Part
2 are conducted with the expansion of 2 treatment arms (Arms A/B and C) or
approximately 390 participants if Part 1 and Part 2 are conducted with the
expansion of all 3 Arms (Arms A,
B and C).
No treatment crossover is planned for the substudy.
Intervention
Arm A:
EV at 1.25 mg/kg, administered as an IV infusion over approximately 30 minutes
on Days 1 and 8 of every 3-week cycle, and MK-4280A (800 mg MK-4280/200 mg
pembrolizumab) as an IV infusion on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle (Q3W), after
completion of the EV infusion.
Arm B:
EV at 1.25 mg/kg, administered as an IV infusion on Days 1 and 8 of every
3-week cycle, and MK-7684A (200 mg MK-7684/200 mg pembrolizumab) as an IV
infusion on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle (Q3W), after completion of the EV
infusion.
Arm C:
EV at 1.25 mg/kg, administered as an IV infusion on Days 1 and 8 of every
3-week cycle, and pembrolizumab 200 mg as an IV infusion on Day 1 of every
3-week cycle (Q3W), after completion of the EV infusion
Please refer to table 4 in the protocol
Study burden and risks
For this study, subjects will be exposed to invasive procedures such as biopsy,
blood collection, IV infusions, CT-MRI or bone scans, physical exams and
patients will be asked to visit the hospital regularly.
Patients will receive EV with 1 other IMP: MK-4280A, MK-7684A or pembrolizumab.
It cannot be guaranteed that participants in clinical studies will directly
benefit from study intervention during participation, as clinical studies are
designed to provide information about the safety and effectiveness of an
investigational medicine/investigational medicines.
