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 safety and preliminary efficacy of sacituzumab tirumotecan plus enfortumab vedotin (EV). Part 2 will be based on Part 1 results and will evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of sacituzumab tirumotecan plus EV in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced urothelial carcinoma.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

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

  • 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 areeligible.

  • PART 1 ONLY: Participants must have received platinum-based chemotherapy fortreatment of la/mUC.

  • PART 1 ONLY: Participants must not have received >2 lines of therapy for la/mUC.Platinum-based chemotherapy followed by avelumab maintenance is considered 2 linesof therapy.

  • PART 2 ONLY: Participants must not have received prior systemic therapy for la/mUC.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

  • Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatmentwithin the past 3 years.

  • Known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.

  • Has Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy.

  • Has history of documented severe dry eye syndrome, severe Meibomian gland diseaseand/or blepharitis, or severe corneal disease that prevents/delays corneal healing.

  • Has active inflammatory bowel disease requiring immunosuppressive medication orprevious history of inflammatory bowel disease (eg, Crohn's disease, ulcerativecolitis, or chronic diarrhea).

  • Has uncontrolled, significant cardiovascular disease or cerebrovascular diseaseand/or serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases within the 6 monthspreceding study intervention.

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

  • Has a history of uncontrolled diabetes.

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

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

  • PART 2 ONLY: Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemicsteroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days beforethe first dose of study intervention. Inhaled or topical steroids are permitted inthe absence of active autoimmune disease. Physiologic replacement doses ofcorticosteroids are permitted for participants with adrenal insufficiency.

  • PART 2 ONLY: Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatmentin past 2 years except replacement therapy.

  • Is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected and has a history of Kaposi's sarcomaand/or Multicentric Castleman's Disease.

  • Has active Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C virus infection.

  • Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that requiredsteroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.
