HealthScout AI Analysis

Goal: To determine whether datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) combined with platinum chemotherapy improves outcomes compared with gemcitabine plus platinum in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who have progressed during or after first-line enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab, and to establish the recommended Phase 3 dose of Dato-DXd in this setting.

Patients: Adults with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, renal pelvis, ureter, or urethra, who have radiographic progression or relapse during or after first-line enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab. Predominantly urothelial histology with or without squamous differentiation is allowed; urachal, small cell, and adenocarcinoma histologies are excluded. Patients must be eligible for cisplatin or carboplatin; carboplatin is used when cisplatin-ineligible per standard criteria (e.g., low GFR, grade ≥2 hearing loss or neuropathy, NYHA class III heart failure). Prior systemic therapy for advanced disease beyond EV+pembrolizumab is generally excluded, and prior TROP2-directed ADCs are excluded. Adequate archival or new tumor tissue is required for exploratory biomarkers.

Design: Global, multicenter, randomized, open-label Phase 2/3 study. Part A (Phase 2) evaluates preliminary efficacy and safety of two Dato-DXd dose levels with platinum to select the recommended Phase 3 dose. Part B (Phase 3) randomizes patients to Dato-DXd at the selected dose plus platinum versus gemcitabine plus platinum, with blinded independent central review for primary PFS assessment.

Treatments: Experimental: Dato-DXd plus platinum (cisplatin for eligible patients; carboplatin for cisplatin-ineligible). Phase 2 explores 4 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg to determine the RP3D; Phase 3 uses Dato-DXd at RP3D plus platinum. Dato-DXd is an investigational TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate composed of a humanized anti-TROP2 IgG1 linked via a cleavable tetrapeptide to a topoisomerase I inhibitor (DXd). It internalizes upon TROP2 binding and releases a membrane-permeable payload, enabling tumor cell kill and bystander effect. Across other tumor types, Dato-DXd improved PFS versus docetaxel in previously treated NSCLC and achieved clinically meaningful responses; interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis is an adverse event of special interest and stomatitis, nausea, and fatigue are common. Control: Gemcitabine plus platinum, a standard chemotherapy doublet in urothelial carcinoma.

Outcomes: Primary endpoints: Phase 2 overall response rate by investigator per RECIST v1.1; Phase 3 progression-free survival by blinded independent central review and overall survival. Key secondary endpoints include duration of response in Phase 2, and in Phase 3, investigator-assessed PFS and overall response rate by both BICR and investigator per RECIST v1.1.

Burden on patient: Moderate. Participants will undergo standard-of-care requirements for combination intravenous chemotherapy, including frequent infusion visits for platinum and gemcitabine or Dato-DXd, regular laboratory monitoring, and periodic imaging for response assessments. An archival or new tumor tissue sample is required; a new biopsy, if needed, adds procedural burden. Safety monitoring for ADC-related toxicities (notably stomatitis and pneumonitis/ILD) may necessitate additional clinic assessments, supportive care, and potential pulmonary evaluations if symptoms arise. No intensive pharmacokinetic sampling schedule is described, and imaging frequency is expected to be similar to standard care, keeping the burden below that of early phase, PK-heavy trials but higher than oral therapy regimens.
