A Biomarker Study to Predict Treatment Outcomes of Enfortumab Vedotin in Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma

July 13, 2025 updated by: National Taiwan University Clinical Trial Center

Biomarker Studies to Predict Treatment Outcomes of Enfortumab Vedotin in Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma

This study aims to find biological markers that help predict how patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma respond to treatment with enfortumab vedotin (EV) or EV-based combination therapies. Since EV can cause significant side effects and is costly, identifying markers such as nectin-4 and related proteins in tumor tissue and blood may help doctors personalize treatment plans. The investigators will enroll about 100 patients receiving EV and compare them to another 100 patients treated with standard chemotherapy. By studying tissue samples and blood at different times, the investigators hope to discover which markers best indicate treatment success or risks. This research could lead to better, safer treatments tailored to each patient's biology.

Conditions

Conditions

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants will be adults aged 20 years or older, of any sex, with available archival tumor tissue and serum samples for biomarker analyses. Patients must have adequate organ function and no prior treatment with enfortumab vedotin.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age ≥ 20 y/o
  2. Histologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma
  3. Radiologically documented locally advanced or metastatic disease

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
EV Therapy Cohort
Patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma who receive enfortumab vedotin-based therapies. Tumor tissue and serum samples will be collected and analyzed for membranous Nectin-4, ADAM10/17, and soluble Nectin-4 (sNectin-4) to assess their association with treatment outcomes.
Other: Biomarker Analysis
Tumor tissue and serum samples will be collected and analyzed to evaluate the expression of membranous Nectin-4, ADAM10/17, and levels of soluble Nectin-4 (sNectin-4) as predictive biomarkers in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma receiving standard therapies.
Chemotherapy Cohort
Patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma who receive platinum-based chemotherapy. Tumor tissue and serum samples will be collected and analyzed for membranous Nectin-4, ADAM10/17, and soluble Nectin-4 (sNectin-4) to assess their association with treatment outcomes.
Other: Biomarker Analysis
Tumor tissue and serum samples will be collected and analyzed to evaluate the expression of membranous Nectin-4, ADAM10/17, and levels of soluble Nectin-4 (sNectin-4) as predictive biomarkers in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma receiving standard therapies.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months after treatment initiation
Proportion of patients achieving complete or partial tumor response according to RECIST 1.1 criteria after enfortumab vedotin treatment.
Up to 12 months after treatment initiation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Up to 24 months
Time from treatment start to disease progression or death from any cause.
Up to 24 months
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 36 months
Time from treatment initiation to death from any cause.
Up to 36 months
Treatment-Related Adverse Events
Time Frame: Up to 36 months
Incidence and severity of adverse events graded by CTCAE v5.0 during treatment.
Up to 36 months
Association of Nectin-4, ADAM10/17 Expression and Serum Soluble Nectin-4 with Overall Survival, Progression-Free Survival, Objective Response Rate, and Adverse Events
Time Frame: Assessed at baseline and up to 36 months

To evaluate the correlation between baseline membranous Nectin-4 expression, ADAM10/17 expression (by immunohistochemistry), and serum soluble Nectin-4 levels (by ELISA) with clinical outcomes, including:

Overall survival (OS)
