Tertiary objectives are: -Patient-reported outcome (PRO) -Evaluate biomarkers to investigate the drug (i.e. mode-of-action-related effect and/or safety) and/or the pathomechanism of the disease. -Pharmacokinetics |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
-Existence of archival or fresh biopsy for FGFR testing. Mandatory FGFR testing. Mandatory FGFR testing of patients will be performed prior to start of screening (signing of ICF for study treatment eligibility). The timing of the FGFR test is at the discretion of the investigator. Investigators should ensure all patients will be eligible in terms of disease status and lines of treatment. -Ability to understand and signing of the written patient information/informed consent form (PI/ICF) for FGFR testing -Male or female patients ≥ 18 yrs of age (at least age of legal maturity) -Documented urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma) including urinary bladder, renal pelvis, ureters, urethra, meeting all of the following criteria: -Histologically confirmed. Patients with mixed histologies are required to have a dominant transitional cell pattern. -Locally advanced (T4, any N; or any T, N 2−3) or metastatic disease (any T, any N and M1). -Locally advanced bladder cancer must be unresectable i.e. invading the pelvic or abdominal wall (stage T4b) or presenting with bulky nodal disease (N2-3). -ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1. -Disease progression during / following treatment with at least one platinum-containing regimen (patients should have been treated for at least 2 cycles). In patients who received prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant platinum-containing chemotherapy, progression had to occur within 12 mths of treatment. -High FGFR1 or 3 mRNA expression levels in archival or fresh tumor biopsy specimen quantified as outlined in the lab manual. -At least 1 measurable lesion according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v.1.1) in contrast enhanced (unless contraindicated) CT or MRI. -Adequate laboratory and organ function: - Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3 - Platelet count ≥100,000/mm3 - Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL (without transfusion or erythropoietin within 4 weeks before randomization). - Total bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN). Known Gilbert syndrome is allowed if total bilirubin is ≤ 3 x ULN. - Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 x ULN (≤5 x ULN for patients with liver involvement of their cancer). - Alkaline phosphatase limit ≤2.5 x ULN (≤5 x ULN for patients with liver and bone involvement of their cancer). - Lipase <2 x ULN - Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 according to MDRD abbreviated formula. - International normalized ratio (INR) ≤1.5 x ULN, and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) or activated PTT (aPTT) ≤1.5 x ULN. Patients being treated with anticoagulant, e.g. warfarin or heparin, will be allowed to participate provided no prior evidence of an underlying abnormality in these parameters exists. Close monitoring of at least weekly evaluations will be performed until INR is stable based on a pre-dose measurement as defined by the local standard of care. -Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and fertile men must agree to use adequate contraception when sexually active from signing of ICF for study treatment eligibility until at least 6 months after the last study drug administration of rogaratinib or vinflunine and until at least 6 mths for docetaxel or paclitaxel. The investigator or a designated associate is requested to advise the patient how to achieve highly effective birth control. Highly effective (failure rate of less than 1% per year) contraception methods include: - Combined (estrogen and progesterone containing: oral, intravaginal, transdermal) and progesterone-only (oral, injectable, implantable) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation. - Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS). - Bilateral tubal occlusion or vasectomized partner (provided that partner is the sole sexual partner and has received medical assessment of the surgical success). - Sexual abstinence (reliability to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient). - Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Male patients with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a condom and ensure that an additional form of contraception is also used during treatment and until at least 6 months after last study drug administration. Genetic consultation is recommended if the patient wishes to have children after ending the treatment with chemotherapy or rogaratinib. These treatments could affect male fertility; therefore fertility preservation (sperm conservation) should be considered before starting treatment with the study drug. -Negative serum pregnancy test in women of childbearing potential (performed within 7 days before randomization). Negative results must be available prior to study drug administration. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Overall survival (defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause) will be considered an exploratory efficacy variable for the Phase 2, since the Phase 3 part of the study will no longer be conducted.
Objective response rate (ORR) is the primary efficacy variable for the Phase 2 part. The study will remain open until the survival data is considered adequate for analysis by the sponsor.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Overall Survival (OS): Defined as the time (days) from randomization to death due to any casue. Patients alive at the date of data cut-off for analysis will be censored at the last date knwn to be alive.
he primary efficacy variable of Phase 2 is ORR, and will be analyzed based on central review assessment. Although OS is the primary variable originally planned for the Phase 3 part of this study, it is considered an exploratory efficacy variable for the Phase 2 part. The analysis will be performed when survival data is considered adequate for analysis by the sponsor. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary efficacy variables include PFS, DCR and DOR based on independent central review assessments. Secondary efficacy variables including progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR) and duration of response (DOR) will be analyzed based on final database.
Summary of adverse events (AEs) is considered as a secondary variable objective for the study.
PRO data as measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D will be analyzed to assess differences in health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and health utility values between treatment arms based on time-adjusted Area Under the Curve (AUC) using all available data.
Patients’ biomarker status at baseline will be correlated with treatment effect in OS, PFS and response to explore which biological targets may be particularly important in defining the appropriate therapeutic population for the agent. Biomarker analyses and results will be provided in a separate report.
Pharmacokinetic variables The samples collected on Day 1 of Cycles 1 through 5 at pre-dose and between 0.5 and 1.5 hours post-dose will document a longitudinal exposure under steady state condition. The longitudinal exposure data will be used in exposure-response modelling of adverse events and clinical responses. Evaluation of the data described above will be presented in a separate report. In the clinical study report, only plasma concentration data for all analytes will be listed. |
