E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Age ≥18 years 2. Histologically documented, locally advanced (T4b, any N; or any T, N 2-3) or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (M1, Stage IV) (also termed TCC or UCC of the urinary tract; including renal pelvis, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra). a. Patients with mixed histologies are required to have a dominant transitional cell pattern (small cell carcinoma of any proportion is not allowed). b. Locally advanced bladder cancer must be inoperable on the basis of involvement of pelvic sidewall or adjacent viscera (clinical Stage T4b) or bulky nodal metastasis (N2-N3) 3. Measurable disease as defined by RECIST v1.1. a. Previously irradiated lesions should not be counted as target lesions unless there has been demonstrated progression in the lesion since radiotherapy and no other lesions are available for selection as target lesions. 4. Considered to be eligible to receive platinum-based chemotherapy and avelumab maintenance therapy, in the Investigator’s judgment 5. No prior systemic therapy in the inoperable, locally advanced, or metastatic setting including chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, targeted therapy, or investigational agents. a. For patients who received prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiation for urothelial carcinoma, a treatment-free interval > 12 months between the last treatment administration and the date of recurrence is required in order to be considered treatment-naïve in the metastatic setting. b. Prior local intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy is allowed if completed ≥4 weeks prior to the initiation of study treatment. 6. Provision of a recent formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue block (75-micron) or at least 15 (5-micron) unstained slides from the most recent primary or metastatic tumor biopsy or resection obtained prior to treatment with first-line chemotherapy but within one year of randomization, with no intervening systemic anti-cancer therapy. If a suitable tissue sample is not otherwise available, then an FFPE tissue block from a de novo biopsy (core needle or excisional) must have been obtained for research purposes prior to randomization in this study. Patients who have fewer than 15 unstained slides available at baseline (but no fewer than 10) may be eligible following discussion with the Medical Monitor. a. Tumor tissue should be of good quality based on total and viable tumor content. For core-needle biopsy specimens, at least three cores should be submitted for evaluation. b. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) specimens must contain a muscle-invasive component (i.e., T2 or greater) of the bladder tumor as verified by local pathology review. If the TURBT specimens do not contain a muscle-invasive component, then specimens obtained at the time of cystectomy/nephroureterectomy (i.e., pT2 or greater) or metastatic spread (i.e., a sample from a metastatic lesion) will be required prior to randomization. An archival specimen, if available, should also be submitted. c. Patients who do not have tissue specimens that meet eligibility requirements may undergo a biopsy during the screening period. Acceptable samples include core needle biopsies for deep tumor tissue (minimum three cores) or excisional, incisional, punch, or forceps biopsies for cutaneous, subcutaneous, or mucosal lesions. d. Tumor tissue from bone metastases is not evaluable for PD-L1 expression and is therefore not acceptable. 7. ECOG performance status of 0-2 8. Adequate organ function as demonstrated by the following laboratory values: a. Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL in the absence of RBC transfusion or ESA administration within 14 days prior to first dose of study drug. b. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 × 109/L. c. Platelet count ≥100 × 109/L. d. Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 30 mL/minute/1.73 m2. e. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (<3 ULN if Gilbert’s disease). f. ALT and AST ≤2.5 × ULN in the absence of liver metastasis or <5 × ULN in the presence of liver metastasis 9. Resolution of nonhematologic toxicities from prior systemic therapy, radiation therapy, or surgical procedures to ≤ Grade 1. a. Alopecia and sensory neuropathy ≤ Grade 2 not constituting a safety risk based on investigator’s judgment are acceptable 10. Predicted life expectancy of ≥3 months 11. Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. Please see Section 17.3 for detailed instructions on methods of contraception requirements. 12. Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol |
