A Study of Pemigatinib in Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Patients With Recurrent Low- or Intermediate-Risk Tumors

Description

This phase II trial studies how well Pemigatinib (an orally administered inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptors 1, 2, and 3) works in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients with recurrent tumors and a prior history of low- or intermediate-risk NMIBC tumors. Participants will receive pemigatinib for 4-6 weeks prior to standard of care transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).

Conditions

Bladder Cancer, NMIBC, Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer, Urothelial Carcinoma Recurrent

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Prior histologically confirmed low- or intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (NMIBC) defined according to the following characteristics:
  • * Low Risk
  • * Initial tumor with all of the following:
  • * Solitary tumor
  • * Ta tumor
  • * Low-grade
  • * \<3 cm
  • * No CIS
  • * Intermediate Risk
  • * High Risk
  • * T1 tumor
  • * High-grade
  • * CIS
  • * Multiple and recurrent and large (\>3 cm) Ta low-grade tumors (all conditions must be met for this point on Ta low-grade tumors)
  • * Documented tumor recurrence as noted in standard of care follow up cystoscopy.
  • * ECOG (WHO) performance status 0-2
  • * Age ≥ 18 years old
  • * Patients must have the following laboratory values:
  • * White blood cell count (WBC) \> 3.0 K/mm3
  • * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 K/mm3
  • * Platelets ≥ 100 K/mm3
  • * Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL
  • * Serum total bilirubin: ≤ 1.5 x ULN
  • * ALT and AST ≤ 3.0 x ULN
  • * Serum calcium \< ULN
  • * Serum phosphate \< ULN
  • * Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or serum creatinine \> 1.5 - 3 x ULN if calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) is ≥ 30 mL/min using the modified Cockcroft-Gault equation
  • * Patients who give a written informed consent obtained according to local guidelines
  • * Patients with concurrent upper urinary tract (i.e. ureter, renal pelvis) non-invasive urothelial carcinoma.
  • * Patients with high grade urothelial carcinoma on their most recent urine cytology.
  • * Patients with another active second malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancers and biochemical relapsed prostate cancer. (Patients that have completed all necessary therapy and are considered to be at less than 30% risk of relapse are not considered to have an active second malignancy and are eligible for enrollment.)
  • * Patients who have received the last administration of an anti-cancer therapy including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and monoclonal antibodies ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from the side effects of such therapy
  • * Patients who have received prior selective fibroblast growth factor receptor targeting agents (i.e. pemigatinib, dovitinib, BGJ398, AZD4547, JNJ-42756493, etc.).
  • * Patients who have had radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from radiotherapy toxicities
  • * Patients who have undergone major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy or significant traumatic injury ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or patients who have had minor procedures (i.e. TURBT), percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device ≤ 1 week prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from side effects of such procedure or injury
