In plain English

This study looks at a drug called disitamab vedotin, given on its own or together with pembrolizumab, in people with urothelial cancer (a cancer of the bladder and urinary system) that has a protein called HER2 on the cancer cells. The cancer must be locally advanced (cannot be removed by surgery) or have spread to other parts of the body. Different groups (cohorts) in the study cover people at different stages of treatment, including those who have had certain treatments before and those who have not.

Who can take part

  • Confirmed locally advanced or spread (metastatic) urothelial cancer, including cancer of the renal pelvis, ureters, bladder or urethra
  • Cancer cells tested in a central laboratory and found to have HER2 levels of IHC 1+, 2+ or 3+ (varies by group)
  • At least one tumour that can be measured on a scan
  • Being well enough day-to-day (an ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1; some groups allow 2)
  • For some groups: having had 1 or 2 previous courses of treatment, including platinum chemotherapy, or treatments such as enfortumab vedotin or PD-(L)1 immunotherapy
  • For some groups: no previous whole-body treatment for this cancer stage, and being able to have cisplatin or carboplatin chemotherapy (treatment before or after surgery is allowed if the cancer came back more than 12 months after the last dose)

Who may not be able to

  • Allergic reaction known to disitamab vedotin, pembrolizumab or their ingredients
  • Cancer treatment (such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy) within 2 weeks of starting the study
  • Side effects from previous treatment that have not settled back to mild levels (Grade 0 or 1), apart from Grade 2 hair loss
  • Previous treatment with HER2-targeted drugs or with drugs like enfortumab vedotin that carry the MMAE payload (for most groups)
  • Major surgery in the last 4 weeks without full recovery
  • Nerve damage causing numbness, tingling or weakness (peripheral neuropathy) above a certain grade (Grade 1 or 2, depending on the group)
  • Some groups also exclude people with immune system problems, or taking steroid or other immune-suppressing medicines, or who have had certain other immune therapies such as CAR-T cell therapy

What taking part involves

  • • Taking the study drug disitamab vedotin, either on its own or together with pembrolizumab, depending on the study group
  • • Some groups may involve comparison with standard chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin) — details of how treatment is given are not stated — ask the trial team
  • • Regular scans and checks to see if the tumour changes size, and tests on a tumour sample to measure HER2

Time commitment: Regular hospital visits for drug doses, scans and blood tests; how long the study lasts and how often visits happen are not stated — ask the trial team.

About This Trial

This study is being done to see if a drug called disitamab vedotin, alone or with pembrolizumab, works to treat HER2 expressing urothelial cancer. It will also test how safe the drug is for participants. Participants will have cancer that has spread in the body near where it started (locally advanced) and cannot be removed (unresectable) or has spread through the body (metastatic). It will also study what side effects happen when participants get the drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to your body besides treating the disease.
