-Be deemed eligible for RC + PLND by his/her urologist and/or
oncologist and agree to undergo curative intent standard RC + PLND (including prostatectomy if applicable) as per AUA/ASTRO/ASCO/SUO guidelines
-Be ineligible for treatment with cisplatin, as defined by meeting at least one of the following criteria listed below OR be eligible for treatment with cisplatin, but decline treatment with cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
*Impaired renal function with measured or calculated CrCl 30 to 59 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault method Modification of Diet of Renal Disease (MDRD) equationsor measured by 24-hour urine collection)
*ECOG Performance Status 2
*CTCAE v.4 Grade ≥2 audiometric hearing loss
*New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III heart failure
-Have a transurethral resection (TUR) of a bladder tumor (obtained within 60 days [+ 14 days] prior to study enrollment [documented informed consent] that is submitted for central pathology assessment and adequate to determine urothelial histology and PD-L1 expression assessment.
Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks are preferred to slides
-Must have an ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2
-Demonstrate adequate organ function (all screening laboratory tests should be performed within 14 days prior to randomization)
-Participant is male or female at least 18 years of age, at the time of providing the informed consent
-Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period and for at least 180 days after the last dose of enfortumab vedotin:
*Refrain from donating sperm
PLUS:
*Must agree to use contraception unless confirmed to be azoospermic.
If the male participants are receiving pembrolizumab only or undergoing surgery only, there are no contraception requirements
*Contraceptive use by men should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
-A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies:
*Is not a WOCBP
OR
*Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective
(with a failure rate of <1% per year), with low user dependency, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis), during the intervention period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab and 180 days after the last dose of enfortumab vedotin,
whichever comes last, and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) to others or freeze/store for her own use for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (ie, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
*A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention.
*The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy.
*Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local
regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those
participating in clinical studies.
-The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides documented informed consent/assent for the study. |
