This is a multi-center, open label, non-randomized Phase 1 study, to be conducted in two parts, Part A, and Part B. Part A in solid tumors included the dose escalation phase for evaluating the safety and tolerability profile of PRN1371, a FGFR 1-4 Kinase inhibitor. Part B is the Cohort Expansion phase in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma to further evaluate safety and tolerability, preliminary activity, PK, and PD in patients with FGFR genetic alterations.
Two out of three tumours in the upper urinary tract are located in the renal pelvis. Muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma is probably more common among tumours in the upper urinary tract compared to tumours in the urinary bladder. Thus, muscle-invasive tumours represent approximately 45 % of renal pelvic tumours compared to 25 % of tumours within the urinary bladder. As in the bladder, lymph node metastases are rare in non-muscle invasive disease. Information regarding indications, extent and possible curative potential is currently lacking for lymphadenectomy in conjunction with nephroureterectomy for urothelial carcinoma in the upper urinary tract (UUTUC). There are, however, retrospective series with survival data for patients with lymph node metastasis that report long term survival after surgery as monotherapy [4] with similar survival proportions as in bladder cancer with lymph node metastases after radical cystectomy. A retrospective study from Tokyo was expanded to the only available prospective study, where 68 patients with UUTUC were submitted to template-based lymphadenectomy. Another retrospective study by the same Japanese group, showed that 5-year cancer-specific and recurrence-free survival was significantly higher in the complete lymphadenectomy group than in the incomplete lymphadenectomy or without lymphadenectomy groups. Tanaka N et al. reported recurrence rate after nephroureterectomy without lymphadenectomy at 1 and 3 years were 18.9 and 29.8 %, respectively.
This is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm, expanded access program (EAP) designed to provide atezolizumab access to participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma that has progressed on, or is intolerant to, a platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen.
This study evaluates physical performance in cancer outpatients during a multimodal therapy. Half of the patients will receive physical exercise und nutrition program in combination with a specially formulated whey protein supplement, while the other half will receive standard care.
This phase II trial studies how well paclitaxel and pembrolizumab works in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has not responded to previous treatment and has spread to other places in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving paclitaxel together with pembrolizumab may be an effective treatment for urothelial cancer.
Protocol B8011001 is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center, multiple-dose, dose escalation and expansion, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) study of PF-06801591 in previously treated adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic melanoma, SCCHN, ovarian carcinoma, sarcoma, NSCLC, urothelial carcinoma or other solid tumors. This is a 2 Part study whereby the safety and tolerability of increasing dose levels of intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) PF-06801591 was assessed in Part 1. Part 2 expansion is designed to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of SC PF-06801591 in patients with NSCLC or urothelial carcinoma as well as confirm the recommended Phase 2 dose.
This phase II trial studies how well cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride with or without berzosertib works in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Berzosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known if cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride work better alone or with berzosertib in treating patients with urothelial cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic intravesical chemotherapy (different chemotherapy drugs and dosage regimen) in the prevention of bladder recurrence after nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).
Platinum-based chemotherapy is now regarded a standard first-line treatment for patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC). However, patients who failed to response or experienced progression after platinum-based chemotherapy have a grim prognosis and a standard salvage treatment is not available. UC is known to harbor multiple mutations. In the investigators' own high-throughput molecular profiling study, the most commonly observed mutations included TP53, FGFR3(fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 ) and HRAS. Since RAS signaling can be attenuated using selective farnesyl transferase (FTase) inhibitors, tipifarnib, a highly potent and selective inhibitor of FTase, was proposed to be an effective therapeutic approach in the treatment of UC.
