EV-103 Trial Summary

This trial will test an experimental drug, enfortumab vedotin, either alone or in combination with other cancer treatments. Pembrolizumab is a checkpoint inhibitor that is used to treat patients with urothelial cancer--a type of cancer that includes bladder, renal pelvis, ureter, or urethra cancer. The study will examine the side effects of enfortumab vedotin and measure if the cancer shrinks with different treatment combinations.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced or muscle-invasive urothelial cancer, including bladder and other urinary cancers. Participants should be eligible for certain chemotherapy drugs like cisplatin or carboplatin, and some may also qualify for pembrolizumab treatment. They must not have received specific prior treatments, have a good performance status (able to carry out daily activities), and an expected lifespan of at least 3 months.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests enfortumab vedotin alone or combined with anticancer therapies such as pembrolizumab, cisplatin, carboplatin, and gemcitabine. It aims to see if these treatments can shrink the cancer in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer as well as those with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system affecting organs, infusion-related reactions from the drug entering the body, fatigue, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea, blood disorders that affect cell counts and increase infection risk.
