Total Duration
Researchers are evaluating treatments for adults with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma bladder cancer who have progressed after prior therapy with enfortumab vedotin EV plus pembrolizumab. This global, multicenter, randomized, open-label Phase 23 trial compares a new drug, Datopotamab Deruxtecan Dato-DXd combined with either carboplatin or cisplatin, against the standard gemcitabine combined with carboplatin or cisplatin. The study aims to identify the recommended dose for Phase 3 and assess preliminary safety and efficacy during Part A, followed by a larger Phase 3 evaluation. Participants in Part A receive Dato-DXd at doses of 4 mgkg or 6 mgkg with platinum chemotherapy every three weeks. In Part B, participants receive the selected recommended dose of Dato-DXd or gemcitabine, each combined with either carboplatin or cisplatin, administered intravenously every three weeks. The specific platinum drug and dosing schedule are based on eligibility and investigator judgment, including options for split-dose cisplatin in certain cases. During the trial, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to monitor tumor response, safety evaluations, and laboratory tests. The primary outcomes include overall response rate in Phase 2 and progression-free survival and overall survival in Phase 3, tracked up to approximately 34 to 38 months. Participants are followed throughout treatment and for a period afterward to evaluate treatment effects and safety under medical supervision.

This table compares participation in this trial with other options available for this condition. The information is drawn from published research and the trial’s study details and is provided for educational purposes only.
| Factors | Dato-DXd plus Carboplatin or Cisplatin | Gemcitabine plus Carboplatin or Cisplatin |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A combination of datopotamab deruxtecan, an investigational antibody-drug conjugate targeting TROP2, administered with a platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin or cisplatin) every three weeks. | A regimen of gemcitabine, a standard chemotherapy drug, combined with platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin or cisplatin), administered according to established dosing schedules. |
| Role in trial | Investigational treatment arm being evaluated for efficacy and safety in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma after progression on prior therapy. | Active comparator arm representing guideline-recommended standard chemotherapy for this patient group. |
| Primary use | Being studied to determine if it improves tumor response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival compared to standard chemotherapy in this population. | Administered as a current standard-of-care treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma, aiming to control tumor growth and prolong survival. |
| How it is given | Dato-DXd is administered intravenously every three weeks at specified phase-appropriate doses, with concurrent carboplatin or cisplatin IV per protocol. | Gemcitabine is given as an IV infusion on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 3-week cycle, with carboplatin or cisplatin also administered IV on a 3-week schedule. |
| Evidence status | Currently being studied in a randomized phase III trial. No published results are available yet for efficacy or safety in the studied combination and setting. | Efficacy and safety are well established from multiple prior trials and long-standing use as front-line chemotherapy in advanced urothelial carcinoma. |
| Important limitations | Long-term benefit and safety remain unknown as results are pending. Potential risks seen with similar antibody-drug conjugates, such as interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis, are possible but not yet characterized directly in this setting. | Toxicities include cytopenias, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, nephrotoxicity, and neurotoxicity. Treatment benefit may be limited in patients previously heavily pretreated or with poor performance status. |
