About This Trial

This is a global, multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase 2/3 study of Dato-DXd plus carboplatin or cisplatin versus gemcitabine plus carboplatin or cisplatin in participants with la/mUC who progressed during or after EV plus pembrolizumab combination treatment. This trial will start with part A, Phase 2. During part A, Phase 2, preliminary efficacy and safety will be assessed, and the recommended Phase 3 dose (RP3D) will be identified when the data allow sufficient assessment of activity, safety, and tolerability. The Phase 3 part will start contingent upon the assessment in the Phase 2 part, taking into consideration the totality of information.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Urothelial Cancer and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 630 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Key Who May Qualify: - Adult ≥18 years at the time the ICF is signed (if the legal age of consent is \> 18 years old, then follow the local regulatory requirements). - diagnosed by tissue sample (biopsy-confirmed) unresectable locally advanced (T4b, any N; or any T, N 2-3) or metastatic (any T, any N, M1) urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, renal pelvis, ureter, or urethra. Participants with urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell) with squamous differentiation or mixed cell types are eligible if the histology is predominantly urothelial. - Note 1: Urachal, small cell, and adenocarcinoma histology is not permitted. - Note 2: Participants with la/mUC and a history of nonclinically active prostate cancer are allowed into the trial if: 1. Participant does not have radiological metastasis of a proven prostate cancer. 2. Participant with nonmetastatic prostate cancer do not have rising PSA (as determined using local testing by a validated or approved test method) defined as follows: • Increase in PSA within 2 consecutive measurements separated by at least 1 week (completed within 4 weeks prior to consent or within Screening) and neither of the measurements with an absolute value above 2 ng/mL. 3. Participant does not currently receive androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. • Must provide tumor tissue sample from archival tissue or newly obtained pretreatment biopsy for exploratory biomarker testing. Tumor tissue sample should not be collected from a lesion that was irradiated unless documentation can be provided confirming that the tumor tissue was collected at least 3 months after radiation and the lesion increased/appeared since radiation occurred. Tumor tissue must be of sufficient quantity (as defined in the laboratory manual). <!-- --> ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Participant does not currently receive androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. • Must provide tumor tissue sample from archival tissue or newly obtained pretreatment biopsy for exploratory biomarker testing. Tumor tissue sample should not be collected from a lesion that was irradiated unless documentation can be provided confirming that the tumor tissue was collected at least 3 months after radiation and the lesion increased/appeared since radiation occurred. Tumor tissue must be of sufficient quantity (as defined in the laboratory manual). <!-- --> 1. Archival tissue collected after the most recent anticancer treatment and within 12 months before the informed consent date is preferred. • Participant must be considered eligible to receive cisplatin- or carboplatin-containing chemotherapy, in the investigator's judgment. Participants eligible for cisplatin will receive cisplatin. If a participant received gemcitabine, carboplatin or cisplatin for early UC in the adjuvant/neoadjuvant setting, ≥1 year must have passed since the last dose of these chemotherapy prior to the first dose of trial intervention. Participants only receive carboplatin if they are ineligible for cisplatin. Participants are cisplatin-ineligible if they meet any of the following criteria: <!-- --> 1.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
