E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate efficacy of erdafitinib versus chemotherapy or pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced urothelial cancer harboring selected FGFR aberrations who have progressed after 1 or 2 prior treatments, at least 1 of which includes an anti-P-(L)1 agent (cohort 1) or 1 prior treatment not containing an anti-PD-(L)1 agent (cohort 2).
The primary endpoint of overall survival will be evaluated in 2 cohorts:
- Cohort 1: erdafitinib versus chemotherapy (docetaxel or vinflunine) [subjects who have received prior anti-PD(L)1 agent]
- Cohort 2: erdafitinib versus pembrolizumab [subjects who have not received prior antiPD-(L)1 agent]
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) of subjects treated with erdafitinib versus chemotherapy or pembrolizumab
- To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of subjects treated with erdafitinib versus chemotherapy or pembrolizumab
- To evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of subjects treated with erdafitinib versus chemotherapy or pembrolizumab
- To evaluate the duration of response (DOR) for subjects treated with erdafitinib versus chemotherapy or pembrolizumab
- To characterize the safety profile of subjects treated with erdafitinib versus chemotherapy or pembrolizumab
- To evaluate the population PK of erdafitinib |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Overall survival is measured from the date of randomization to the date of the subject’s death. If the subject is alive or the vital status is unknown, the subject will be censored at the date the subject was last known to be alive
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- PFS: duration in days from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression (assessed per RECIST v1.1 by the investigator) or relapse from CR or death, whichever is reported first. For subjects who do not have disease progression and are alive, as well as for subjects with unknown disease progression or unknown survival status as of the clinical cutoff date, PFS will be censored at the date of the last adequate disease assessment. If there is no postbaseline tumor assessment for a subject, PFS will be censored on the date of randomization. Refer to the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) for further details regarding censoring rules. Adequate disease assessment is defined as having sufficient evidence to indicate correctly that progression has or has not occurred
- ORR: the proportion of subjects who achieve complete response or partial response, as assessed per RECIST v1.1 by the investigator
- Change from baseline in patient-reported health status and physical functioning scales of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Bladder Cancer (FACT-Bl), Patient-Global Impression of Severity (PGIS), and utility and visual analog scale of the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Levels Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L)
- DOR: for responders, duration in days from the date of initial documentation of a response to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (or relapse for subjects who experience CR during the study) or death. The censoring is similar to PFS
- Safety: collection of adverse event, clinical laboratory values, electrocardiograms, vital signs, ophthalmologic evaluations, physical examinations
- Oral clearance, area under the plasma concentration-time curve (and other parameters, as needed and as data permits) will be estimated using a population approach
