LEARNING OBJECTIVES

To become familiar with the current state-of-the-art in platinum-refractory metastatic urothelial carcinoma therapeutics

To specifically review the role of chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors in this setting

To understand the evolving scenario with the development of many novel promising drugs

THE SECOND-LINE SETTING:

AN UNMET NEED

First-line platinum-based chemotherapy has remained the standard of care for >30 years1,2

All patients virtually progress to first-line chemotherapy despite an initial response

Until recently, second-line options have remained scarce3,4

◆ No randomised data until 2006

◆ Vinflunine: First agent to

advantage (against best

supportive care)

◆ Failure of targeted therapies in

◆ Maintenance concept after first-

line response (early second-line

◆ PD-1 and PDL-1 inhibitors

leading to encouraging results

in a subset of patients

cautiousness

◆ Molecular understanding leads

to novel targeted therapies in

biomarker selected patients

SECOND-LINE CHEMOTHERAPY: CONCLUSIONS

Vinflunine is the only cytotoxic agent to prove OS improvement in platinum refractory patients1

Docetaxel–ramucirumab increases PFS but not OS against docetaxel

Single-agent chemotherapy tested (mainly taxanes) has shown limited efficacy, ORR ranges 0–28% and data from

single-arm trials → should not be standard of care

Vinflunine has superior outcomes than cabazitaxel

Nabpaclitaxel is not superior to paclitaxel

Maintenance chemotherapy may have a role in mUC but needs to be proven (and may be hard in the current era)

IMMUNE CHECKPOINT INHIBITORS IN PLATINUM

REFRACTORY PATIENTS – SUMMARY

IO agents have superseded chemotherapy in the second-line setting as the preferred option, based on duration of

response and safety

Nevertheless, there is a lack of predictive biomarkers to help us selecting those patients [15–25%] most likely to

benefit from CPI

Pembrolizumab has the highest level of evidence in a randomised setting. Atezolizumab seems a reasonable option

based on Phase 3 and 3b results. The SAUL trial demonstrates that the efficacy of atezolizumab is consistent with

previous pivotal anti-PD-L1/PD-1 mUC trials

Other ICI agents (avelumab, durvalumab, and nivolumab) seem to achieve similar benefit, although randomised data

are lacking

Page 37: METASTATIC UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA Systemic second-line …

TARGETED THERAPY: FROM FAILURE TO SUCCESS?

High somatic mutation frequencies in bladder cancer

Multiple failed attempts (mainly single-arm trials) in unselected populations over the last decade

Main agents tested: VEGF-targeted therapy (TKIs, mABs), EGFR/HER2 inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors

Randomised trials are scarce and have failed (LAMB trial) or demonstrated little benefit (RANGE trial)

Better understanding of mUC molecular behaviour has led to the design of novel trials, testing targeted therapies in

biomarker-selected patients

REGULATORY APPROVAL

FDA grants accelerated approval to erdafitinib for metastatic urothelial carcinoma

On April 12, 2019, the Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to erdafitinib (BALVERSA,

Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies) for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, with

susceptible FGFR3 or FGFR2 genetic alterations, that has progressed during or following platinum-containing

chemotherapy, including within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant platinum-containing chemotherapy.

Patients should be selected for therapy based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic for erdafitinib.

Today, the FDA also approved the therascreen® FGFR RGQ RT-PCR Kit, developed by QIAGEN, for use as a

companion diagnostic for this therapeutic indication.

TARGETED THERAPY AND FGFR3 INHIBITORS –

CONCLUSIONS

Erdafitinib, vofatamab, infigratinib, and rogaratinib show encouraging activity in FGFR3-altered tumours

Preliminary data suggests tumours with FGFR alterations are less likely to respond to ICIs

Multiple FGFR3 inhibitors are currently being tested, either as single-agent or combined with ICIs, in randomised trials

FGRF3 inhibitors are safe, but need to be aware about MAPK class effect toxicity (CSR, hyperphosphatemia, …)

mUC is a heterogeneous disease. Targeted agents should be designed along with a biomarker, unlikely to be effective

in unselected population

ANTIBODY DRUG CONJUGATES (ADCs) IN MUC

New generation of cancer therapeutics: monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) connected by a specified linkage to

antitumour cytotoxic molecules

ADC binds to tumour target cell surface antigens (B)

leading to triggering of a specific receptor-mediated

internalisation (C). The internalised ADCs are

decomposed, releasing their cytotoxic payloads inside

the tumour cell, either through its linkage/linker

sensitivity to protease, acidic, reductive agents or by

lysosomal process, leading to cell death (D)

ANTIBODY DRUG CONJUGATES – CONCLUSIONS

ADCs show promising activity in heavily pretreated patients, with a favourable comparison to historical controls

Unlike ICIs, ADCs may maintain a high efficacy level in poor prognostic groups, such as patients with hepatic

metastases

ADCs have the potential to become an additional treatment option in the armamentarium of available therapies for UC

Development of surrogate markers of response is critical

Larger trials testing these agents are ongoing, both as single agent or in combinational strategies.* A Phase 3 trial is

comparing enfortumab-vedotin with vinflunine/taxanes in the third-line setting (post-platinum, post-ICI)

CONCLUSIONS

The therapeutic scenario in post-platinum mUC patients has evolved rapidly within the last 5 years with multiple

additions

Checkpoint inhibitors have superseded chemotherapy, with impressive results in a subset of patients (15–20),

although the lack of predictive biomarkers might limit the success of this treatment option

FGFR inhibitors have shown remarkable activity in a biomarker-selected population and erdafitinib has been recently

added to the treatment armamentarium in this setting (FDA approval)

The Antibody Drug Conjugates represent an attractive alternative to all patients (they do not require biomarker

selection) and their preliminary activity appears very promising

Biomarker driven studies are ongoing and hopefully will soon refine mUC treatment
