Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Participants with metastatic or locally advanced/unresectable urothelial cancer that has recurred or progressed following platinum-based chemotherapy will be randomly assigned to receive Investigator's choice of paclitaxel, docetaxel, or vinflunine (Control), or pembrolizumab. The primary study hypotheses are that pembrolizumab will prolong Overall Survival (OS) and Progression-free Survival (PFS) compared to paclitaxel, docetaxel, or vinflunine.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

For the purposes of this study, participants with a programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) ≥10% were considered to have a strongly PD-L1 positive tumor status and participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥1% were considered to have a PD-L1 positive tumor status.

Effective with Amendment 15, eligible participants who are allocated to the Control arm (Investigator's Choice) and experience disease progression will be provided with the opportunity to switch over to receive pembrolizumab 200 mg one time every three weeks (Q3W) for up to two years of treatment.

    Title PFS Per RECIST 1.1 - Participants With Programmed Cell Death-Ligand (PD-L1) Positive Tumors
    Description PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered PD. PFS per RECIST 1.1 was assessed by BICR in all participants who had PD-L1 positive tumors (combined positive score [CPS] ≥1%) up through the primary analysis database cut-off date of 07-Sep-2016.

Eligible participants who experienced disease progression may have been able to switch over to receive pembrolizumab 200 mg IV Q3W for up to 35 treatment administrations (up to approximately 2 years). Participants received pembrolizumab 200 mg IV on Day 1 Q3W.

    Title PFS Per mRECIST - All Participants
    Description PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Per mRECIST, PD was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered PD. Per mRECIST, confirmation by a repeat, consecutive assessment no less than 4 weeks from the date first documented was required for participants remaining on treatment following PD per RECIST 1.1. PFS per mRECIST was assessed by BICR in all randomized participants up through the final analysis database cut-off date of 26-Oct-2017.

    Description For participants who demonstrated a confirmed response (CR or PR) per RECIST 1.1, DOR was defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until disease progression or death. Per protocol, the DOR was to be censored at the date of the last tumor assessment for participants who had progressed or died after 2 or more missed visits, who had started a new anti-cancer treatment, who were lost to follow-up, or who had an ongoing response. DOR was assessed in all participants who had strongly PD-L1 positive tumors (CPS ≥10%) based on BICR and was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.
