About this trial

This substudy is part of an umbrella platform study which is designed to evaluate investigational agents with or without pembrolizumab in participants with urothelial carcinoma who are in need of new treatment options. Substudy 04A will enroll participants with locally advanced or mUC whose disease is resistant to treatment with programmed cell death-1/ligand 1 (PD-1/L1) inhibitors. The protocol infrastructure will enable the rolling assignment of investigational treatments.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced/unresectable or mUC of the renal pelvis, ureter (upper urinary tract), bladder, or urethra.

Arm A: PD-1/L1 refractory locally advanced or mUC as evidenced by: EITHER disease progression while on treatment or after treatment with an anti-PD-1/L1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) for locally advanced/unresectable or mUC administered either as monotherapy, or in combination with other checkpoint inhibitors or other therapies OR disease recurrence while on treatment or after treatment with an anti-PD-1/L1 mAb for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC) administered as monotherapy.

Arm A: Participants must provide an archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion demonstrating UC, not previously irradiated, and adequate for biomarker evaluation.

Arm B: PD-1/L1 refractory locally advanced or mUC as evidenced by: EITHER disease progression after treatment with an anti-PD-1/L1 mAb for locally advanced/unresectable or mUC administered either as monotherapy, or in combination with other checkpoint inhibitors or other therapies; OR disease recurrence after treatment with an anti-PD-1/L1 mAb for MIUC administered as monotherapy or in combination with other checkpoint therapies >12 months after last dose of treatment with an anti-PD-1/L1 mAb.
