Brief Summary:

This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter Phase 2/3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rogaratinib (BAY 1163877) compared to chemotherapy in patients with FGFR-positive locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who have received prior platinum-containing chemotherapy.

The primary objective is to demonstrate the superiority of rogaratinib over chemotherapy in terms of objective response rate (before: overall survivial) of urothelial carcinoma patients with FGFR positive tumors.

At randomization, patients will have locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma and have received at least one prior platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen. Only patients with FGFR1 or 3 positive tumors can be randomized into the study. Archival tumor tissue is adequate for testing of FGFR1 and 3 mRNA expressions, which will be determined centrally using an RNA in situ hybridization (RNA-ISH) test. Approximately 42 % of UC patients with locally advanced or metastatic UC are identified as FGFR-positive by the RNA-ISH cut-off applied.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Rogaratinib

Rogaratinib treatment study arm, comprising

  1. Pre-treatment period, including FGFR testing and screening,
  2. Treatment period, and
  3. Follow-up period, including active follow-up and long-term follow-up. Patients will be considered "on study" during the pre-treatment, treatment and active followup periods. During the long-term follow-up period the patients will be considered "off study".
 Drug: Rogaratinib (BAY1163877)
Rogaratinib administered as oral (p.o.) tablets twice daily (b.i.d.) continuously
Active Comparator: Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy treatment study arm, comprising

  1. Pre-treatment period, including FGFR testing and screening,
  2. Treatment period, and
  3. Follow-up period, including active follow-up and long-term follow-up. Patients will be considered "on study" during the pre-treatment, treatment and active followup periods. During the long-term follow-up period the patients will be considered "off study".
 Drug: Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy as taxane (docetaxel or paclitaxel) or vinflunine administered through intravenous (i.v.) infusion every 3 weeks (on day 1 of a 21-day cycle) The choice of the chemotherapy is at the discretion of the investigator, taking into consideration the status of the authorization or treatment guidelines in the given country.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) - Central Assessment [ Time Frame: From start of treatment up to end of active follow-up, approximately 29 months ]
    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). participants for whom overall best response is not CR or PR, as well as participants without any post-baseline tumor assessment will be considered non-responders.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Disease-control Rate (DCR) - Central Assessment [ Time Frame: From start of treatment till end of active follow-up, approximately 29 months ]
    DCR was defined as the percentage of participants whose overall best response was not a progressive disease (i.e., CR, PR, stable disease [SD] or Non CR/Non PD).

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS) - Central Assessment [ Time Frame: From start of treatment till end of active follow-up, approximately 29 months ]
    Progression free survival (PFS) was defined as the time (days) from randomization to date of first observed disease progression (radiological or clinical assessment or both) or death due to any cause (if death occurred before progression was documented).

  3. Duration of Response (DOR) - Central Assessment [ Time Frame: From start of treatment till end of active follow-up, approximately 29 months ]
    DOR (for patients with PR and CR only) was defined as the time from the first documented objective response of PR or CR, whichever was noted earlier, to disease progression (including symptomatic deterioration) or death, whichever was earlier

  4. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: From start of treatment up to 30 days after the last administration of study treatment, approximately 29 months ]
    A treatment-emergent event was defined as any event arising or worsening after the start of study drug administration until 30 days after the last administration of study treatment

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Existence of archival or fresh biopsy for FGFR testing. Mandatory FGFR testing of patients will be performed prior to start of screening. The timing of the FGFR test is at the discretion of the investigator. Investigators should ensure all patients will be eligible in terms of disease status and lines of treatment.

  • Documented urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma) including urinary bladder, renal pelvis, ureters, urethra meeting all of the following criteria

    • Histologically confirmed (Patients with mixed histologies are required to have a dominant transitional cell pattern.)
    • Locally advanced (T4, any N; or any T, N 2-3) or metastatic disease (any T, any N and M1). Locally advanced bladder cancer must be unresectable i.e. invading the pelvic or abdominal wall (stage T4b) or presenting with bulky nodal disease (N2-3).
  • ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) Performance Status of 0 or 1
  • Disease progression during or following treatment with at least one platinum-containing regimen (patients should have been treated for at least 2 cycles). In patients who received prior adjuvant/ neoadjuvant platinum-containing chemotherapy, progression had to occur within 12 months of treatment.
  • High FGFR1 or 3 mRNA expression levels in archival or fresh tumor biopsy specimen quantified as outlined in the lab manual
