Perioperative Enfortumab Vedotin (EV) Plus Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Versus Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Cisplatin-Eligible Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC) (MK-3475-B15/ KEYNOTE-B15 / EV-304)

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Pembrolizumab: 200 mg of Pembrolizumab IV infusion, on Day 1 Q3W for 4 cycles (each cycle length = 21 days) in preoperative phase (up to approximately 3 months) and on Day 1 Q3W for 13 cycles in postoperative phase (up to approximately 9 months). The total duration of treatment is up to approximately 1 year.

Enfortumab vedotin (EV): 1.25 mg/kg of EV IV infusion, on Day 1 and Day 8 Q3W for 4 cycles (each cycle length = 21 days) in preoperative phase (up to approximately 3 months) and on Day 1 and Day 8 Q3W for 5 cycles (each cycle length = 21 days) in postoperative phase (up to approximately 4 months). The total duration of treatment is up to approximately 7 months.

RC + PLND: Curative intent RC + PLND surgery will be administered to all participants randomized to Arm A and B after completion of preoperative systemic treatment (RC + PLND to be done approximately at 15 weeks from randomization).

Gemcitabine: 1000 mg/m\^2 of Gemcitabine IV infusion, Day 1 and Day 8 Q3W for 4 cycles in preoperative phase (up to approximately 3 months)

Cisplatin: 70 mg/m\^2 of Cisplatin IV infusion, Day 1, Q3W for 4 cycles in preoperative phase (up to approximately 3 months)

Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the antitumor efficacy and safety of perioperative enfortumab vedotin (EV) plus pembrolizumab and radical cystectomy (RC) + pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) compared with the current standard of care (neoadjuvant chemotherapy \[gemcitabine plus cisplatin\] and RC + PLND) for participants with MIBC who are cisplatin-eligible. The primary hypothesis is perioperative EV and pembrolizumab and RC + PLND (Arm A) will achieve superior event free survival (EFS) compared with neoadjuvant gemcitabine + cisplatin and RC + PLND (Arm B).

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Event-Free Survival (EFS) — Up to ~68 months
  EFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of following events: radiographic disease progression precluding RC + PLND, failure to undergo surgery in participants with residual disease, gross residual disease left behind at time of surgery, local or distant recurrence based on blinded independent central review (BICR) or death due to any cause.
