Study Summary

This study is a substudy being conducted under one pembrolizumab umbrella master study KEYMAKER-U04. The substudy will consist of 2 parts. Part 1 will evaluate the efficacy and safety of coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab plus EV and coformulated vibostolimab/pembrolizumab plus EV relative to pembrolizumab plus EV. There will be no comparison of coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab plus EV versus coformulated vibostolimab/pembrolizumab plus EV. If ORR and/or DRR are substantially better on coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab plus EV and/or coformulated vibostolimab/pembrolizumab plus EV compared with pembrolizumab plus EV, after evaluation of the totality of data, the sponsor might consider Part 2 (expansion) to further characterize the efficacy and safety of the treatment arms under study.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Must have histologically documented, locally advanced/metastatic urothelialcarcinoma (la/mUC).

  • Participants with mixed histology are eligible provided the urothelialcomponent is ≥50% (and <10% plasmacytoid component)

  • Participants whose tumors contain any neuroendocrine component are not eligible (variant histology to be confirmed locally)

  • Must not have received prior systemic therapy for la/mUC. The following therapies inearlier disease setting (eg, muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC)) arepermitted:

  • Participants that received neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy are permitted.

  • Participants who received anti- programmed cell death 1 protein (PD-1) orprogrammed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy for an earlier disease stage (eg, NMIBC, MIUC) with progression/recurrence >12 months from completion oftherapy are permitted.

  • Must provide an archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or excisionalbiopsy of a tumor lesion demonstrating UC, not previously irradiated, and adequatefor biomarker evaluation. A newly obtained biopsy is strongly preferred, but notrequired if archival tissue is evaluable.

  • Any AEs due to previous anticancer therapies must have recovered to ≤Grade 1 orbaseline. Endocrine-related AEs adequately treated with hormone replacement or with <Grade 2 neuropathy are eligible.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has a known additional malignancy, except if the participant has undergonepotentially curative therapy with no evidence of that disease recurrence for atleast 3 years since initiation of that therapy.

  • Central nervous system (CNS) metastases are permitted on-study if all of thefollowing are true: a) CNS metastases have been clinically stable for at least 4weeks prior to screening and baseline scans show no evidence of new or enlargedmetastasis; b) the participant is on a stable dose of ≤10 mg/day of prednisone orequivalent for at least 2 weeks (if requiring steroid treatment); c) participantdoes not have leptomeningeal disease.

  • Has received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the firstdose of study intervention.

  • Has received an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4weeks prior to study intervention administration.

  • Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapyor any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior the first dose ofstudy intervention. Inhaled or topical steroids are permitted in the absence ofactive autoimmune disease. Physiologic replacement doses of corticosteroids arepermitted for participants with adrenal insufficiency.

  • Has active keratitis or corneal ulcerations. Superficial punctate keratitis isallowed if the disorder is being adequately treated in the opinion of theinvestigator.

  • Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2years except replacement therapy.

  • Has a history of uncontrolled diabetes.

  • Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has currentpneumonitis

  • Has an active infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal) requiring systemic therapy.

  • Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

  • Has hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus infection.

  • Has had major surgery within 4 weeks prior to first dose of study intervention.

  • Has had an allogenic tissue/solid organ transplant

Study Description

The master study for this substudy is MK-3475-U04/KEYMAKER-U04. The master study will not be screening any participants and will not be registered.

With Amendment 2, participants will discontinue treatment with coformulated vibostolimab/pembrolizumab (Arm B) and be transitioned to pembrolizumab only. Per protocol, no analysis of Part 2 primary or secondary outcome measures (including efficacy or safety) will occur since Part 2 of the study will no longer take place.
