A Study of Enfortumab Vedotin in People With Urothelial Carcinoma of the Upper Urinary Tract
United States24 participantsStarted 2023-06-02
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the study drug, enfortumab vedotin, is an effective and safe treatment for people who have urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract. Study participants will be people who are not eligible to receive or have chosen not to receive the chemotherapy drug cisplatin for treatment of their cancer. In addition, all participants will be planning on having standard surgery to remove their tumor.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Histologically confirmed high grade urothelial carcinoma of the upper tract and/or radiographically visible tumor stage T2-T4a N0/x M0 disease with positive selective urinary cytology. Hydronephrosis associated with tumor on imaging or biopsy will be considered invasive by definition. (Variant histology is acceptable if there is a predominant urothelial component. Discussion with PI strongly encouraged.) Retroperitoneal lymph nodes \<15 mm in the short axis will be eligible.
* Patients who are
o Ineligible for cisplatin based on any of the following criteria:
* Estimated or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30ml/min but \< 60 ml/min
* Grade 2 or above audiometric hearing loss (per CTCAE v5.0) or
* Declined cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy, as documented in medical chart
* Availability of tumor specimen block, cell block or 30 unstained slides from diagnosis. Patients with fewer than 30 slides available may be enrolled after discussion with the Principal Investigator.Additional research biopsy is not required.
* Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70%.
* Medically appropriate candidate for radical surgery (nephroureterectomy, nephrectomy, or ureterectomy), as per treating Attending Urologic Oncologist
* Age ≥ 18 years.
* Required initial laboratory values:
* Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 10\^9 /L
* Platelets ≥ 100 x 109 /L
* Bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal (x ULN)
* Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transami…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
