In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This phase IV trial tests the impact of standard of care enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab followed by removal of all or part of the bladder (cytoreductive cystectomy) and/or removal of all or part of the tube that carriers urine from the kidneys to the bladder (ureterectomy) on outcomes in patients with bladder and upper urothelial tract that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Enfortumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, enfortumab, linked to an anticancer drug called vedotin. It works by helping the immune system to slow or stop the growth of tumor cells. Enfortumab attaches to a protein called nectin-4 on tumor cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. It is a type of antibody-drug conjugate.

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * 18 years of age or older at the time of informed consent * Histologically proven urothelial carcinoma \[American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 2017\] of the bladder (BCa) or upper urothelial tract (UTUC), N+ and/or M+. Initial diagnosis must be within 90 days of planned date for treatment initiation * The following variant histologic subtypes are permitted in any amount * Urothelial with squamous differentiation * Urothelial with sarcomatoid differentiation * Mixed variant histologic subtypes are permitted if urothelial differentiation is predominant (e.g., \< 50% variant histologic subtype) * Willing to undergo cytoreductive cystectomy (CC) or ureterectomy (U) and deemed clinically a surgical candidate (presuming good response) by the attending urologist * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade 0, 1, or 2 * Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL (obtained ≤ 28 days prior to registration) * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm\^3 (obtained ≤ 28 days prior to registration) * Platelet count ≥ 80,000/mm\^3 (obtained ≤ 28 days prior to registration) * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) OR aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤ 3.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (obtained ≤ 28 days prior to registration) * Total bilirubin ≤ 3 x ULN OR direct bilirubin ≤ 3 x ULN (obtained ≤ 28 days prior to registration) * Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 15 ml/min (obtained ≤ 28 days prior to registration) * Prior systemic chemotherapy for indications other than urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder is permitted, but interval between this treatment and study enrollment must exceed 24 months * All adverse events associated with any prior surgery must have resolved to CTCAE version 5.0 grade \< 2 prior to registration * Must sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that the participant understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study and agree to store samples when applicable * Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance * Willingness to provide mandatory blood specimens for correlative research * Willingness to provide tissue specimens for correlative research * Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (during the active monitoring phase of the study) Exclusion Criteria: * The following histologic variants/divergent differentiation are excluded from trial participation: * Presence of urothelial carcinoma with histologic variants comprising \> 50% of histology * Any amount: neuroendocrine, micropapillary, or signet ring cell features * Prior systemic chemotherapy for urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder at any time (excluding intravesicular therapies) * Known active malignancies (i.e., progressing or requiring treatment change in the last 24 months) other than the disease being treated under study. The only allowed exceptions are: * Skin cancer (non-melanoma or melanoma) that is considered completely cured * Non-invasive cervical cancer treated that is considered completely cured * Breast cancer: * Adequately treated lobular carcinoma in situ or ductal carcinoma in situ considered to have a very low risk of recurrence * Localized prostate cancer (T1c/T2N0M0): * Gleason score 6, treated by either surgery or ablation within the last 24 months or untreated and under active surveillance * Gleason score 3+4 that has been treated (may include surgery or ablation) within the last 24 months and considered to have a very low risk of recurrence (i.e., cT1c or pT2 on prostatectomy specimen) * Received prior systemic chemotherapy or targeted small molecule therapy (excluding hormonal therapy) within 2 years prior to starting study treatment * History of uncontrolled adrenal insufficiency * History of uncontrolled cardiovascular disease including any of the following in the preceding 6 months: unstable angina, myocardial infarction, ventricular fibrillation, Torsades de Pointes, cardiac arrest, or known congestive New York Heart Association class III-IV heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, or transient ischemic attack; pulmonary embolism or other venous thromboembolism * Known active tuberculosis * Is receiving immunosuppression for an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant * Participants with an active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment. Participants with autoimmune disorders not requiring systemic treatment (eg, skin conditions such as vitiligo or alopecia) or conditions requiring hormonal replacement therapies such as type 1 diabetes mellitus or hypothyroidism are permitted to enroll * Known clinically significant liver disease that precludes participant treatment regimens prescribed on the study (including, but not limited to active viral, alcoholic, or other autoimmune hepatitis, cirrhosis, or inherited liver disease) * Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, unless the participant has been on a stable antiretroviral therapy regimen for the last 6 months or more and has had no opportunistic infections and a CD4 count of \> 350 in the last 6 months * Known active hepatitis B or C infection \[however, participants with history of hepatitis C infection but normal hepatitis C virus polymerase chain reaction test and participants with hepatitis B with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) antibody are allowed\] * Known urinary tract infection (UTI), defined as a symptomatic infection with a positive urine culture with a bacterial count of ≥ 10\^5 colony forming units (CFU)/mL in urine voided from women, or \> 104 CFU/mL in urine voided from men, or in straight catheter urine from women. Symptoms may include dysuria, urgency, frequency, and/or systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, elevated white blood cell, and/or abdominal/flank pain.
