About

This is a Phase 1b/2 multi-center, open-label study to establish the initial safety and to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose of B-701 in combination with pembrolizumab, and to determine safety, tolerability and efficacy of B-701 (vofatamab) plus pembrolizumab in the treatment of subjects with locally advanced or metastatic UCC, who have progressed following platinum-based chemotherapy and who have not received prior immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Full description

This is a Phase 1b/2 multi-center, open-label study to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of B-701 (vofatamab) plus pembrolizumab in the treatment of subjects with locally advanced or metastatic UCC, who have progressed following platinum-based chemotherapy and who have not received prior immune checkpoint inhibitor or FGFR inhibitor-targeted therapy. The study consists of 2 parts: a Phase 1b lead-in phase enrolling 6 to 18 subjects and a Phase 2 dose expansion phase enrolling up to a total of 74 subjects.

Subjects who discontinue B-701 (vofatamab) may continue on study and receive pembrolizumab alone until disease progression, death, withdrawal of patient consent, or study termination. Subjects who discontinue pembrolizumab may continue on study and receive B-701 (vofatamab) alone until disease progression, death, withdrawal of patient consent, or study termination.

Enrollment: 28 patients

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

1. Have locally advanced (on TNM staging: T4b and any N, or any T and N2-3) or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium, including of the urinary bladder, urethra, ureter, and/or renal pelvis. The diagnosis must be histologically or cytologically confirmed.
2. Have progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy or within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy.
3. Have available archival tumor or be willing to undergo diagnostic biopsy at screening. Sample must be of suitable quality and quantity to satisfy group assignment and biomarker endpoints.
4. Have measurable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) ≤ 1.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

1. Participants with a history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on the Screening chest CT scan.
2. Prior therapy with an anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or anti-PD-Ligand 1 agent, or with an agent directed to another co-inhibitory T-cell receptor or FGFR inhibitor.
3. Patients with autoimmune disease or medical conditions that required systemic corticosteroids (> 10 mg/day prednisone or its equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications or any other form of systemic immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. Note: Replacement therapy (e.g. physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
4. Primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancy or CNS metastases.
5. History of clinically significant coagulation or platelet disorder in the past 12 months.
