About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized, Controlled Phase 3 Study of Enfortumab Vedotin in Combination With Pembrolizumab Versus Chemotherapy Alone in Previously Untreated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Cancer

This study is being done to see how well two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) work together to treat patients with urothelial cancer. The study will compare these drugs to other drugs that are usually used to treat this cancer (standard of care). The patients in this study will have cancer that has spread from their urinary system to other parts of their body.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version (v) 1.1 by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)

    PFS was defined as the time from date of randomization to first documentation of disease progression (PD), or to death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeter (mm). PD could also be unequivocal progression of non-target lesions or the presence of unequivocal new lesions. Kaplan-Meier method was used for analysis.

    Measured: From the date of randomization to first documentation of PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first (maximum exposure to treatment was up to 39.2 months)

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. In the absence of death, OS was censored at the date the participant was last known to be alive. Kaplan-Meier method was used for analysis.

    Measured: From randomization to date of death due to any cause or censoring date, whichever occurred first (maximum exposure to treatment was up to 39.2 months)

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per RECIST v1.1 by BICR

    ORR as per RECIST v1.1 by BICR was defined as the percentage of participants with confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) CR was defined as disappearance of all lesions including non-target lesions (not just target lesions). Any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to<10 mm. PR was defined as at least 30 percent [%] decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. For a response to be considered as confirmed, the subsequent response needs to be at least 4 weeks after the initial response.

    Measured: From first dose till CR/PR or PD or death, whichever occurred first (maximum up to approximately 7.4 years)

  2. Time to Pain Progression (TTPP)

    TTPP was defined as the time from the date of randomization to date of pain progression. Pain progression was defined as a participant reporting either of the following, whichever came first: 1) Increase of 2 or more points from baseline on Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-SF) Question 3 (i.e., pain at its worst in the last 24 hours, score range 0 to 10 with higher scores associated with higher pain levels) maintained for at least two consecutive assessments. 2) Initiation of new opioid medication from baseline for pain with usage maintained for at least two consecutive assessments as recorded in BPI-SF Question 7 (i.e., What medications received for pain).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 260 sites in United States, China, Japan, Russia, Spain and 20 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Sep 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version (v) 1.1 by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) (time frame: From the date of randomization to first documentation of PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first (maximum exposure to treatment was up to 39.2 months)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04223856, which also lists 8 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 May 2026.
