1.Immunotherapy is active only in a small subset of patients
2.Resistance to immunotherapy is often seen.
3.Significant percentage of patients are not fit enough to receive
Cisplatin-combination chemotherapy.
4.In this era of precision medicine, there is no FDA approved,
biomarker-selected targeted therapy for mUC.
UC is molecularly heterogeneous
• While multiple pathways are altered, the frequency of mutation in any one gene/ pathway is modest, at best
• Unselected trials with targeted agents unlikely to yield positive results

rapamycin in vitro
MLN-0128 (aka. TAK228): NCI Protocol 9767
• Potent, highly selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of mTOR kinase that exhibits dual specificity against both TORC1 and TORC2 complexes.
• Dual TORC1/2 inhibition mitigates the feedback activation of AKT, known to cause resistance to TORC1 selective inhibitors.
• Displays cellular inhibition of TORC1 and TORC2 pathways with IC50 less than 10 nM.
• Potential of greater clinical activity than the currently available rapalogs.

• In addition to activating mutations, FGFR over-expression has been implicated in bladder cancer with Turo et al. noting up-regulated FGFR expression via IHC in 53 and 56 of 106 matched pairs of primary tumors and metastases. 18
• FGFR inhibitors and anti-FGFR antibody-drug conjugates are in ongoing and upcoming trials in advanced urothelial carcinoma.

Binding of Ramucirumab to VEGFR-2 and Icrucumab to
VEGFR-1 Inhibits Subsequent Signaling
Rationale for VEGF Blockade in Bladder Cancer
• Antiangiogenic agents, particularly anti-VEGFR-2 monoclonal
antibodies (MAbs), may be capable of acting as chemosensitizing
agents when given in combination with docetaxel, since this effect was
demonstrated in mice when an anti-VEGFR-2 MAb, DC101, was
combined with paclitaxel.
• Anti-VEGFR-1 MAbs may inhibit metastasis, based on the observed
impact of the anti-VEGFR-1 MAb, MF1, on VEGFR-1-positive circulating
hematopoietic progenitor cells in mice.

Background
• Ramucirumab is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody VEGFR-2 antagonist.
1Petrylak DP, et al. J Clin Oncol 2016
• Ramucirumab plus docetaxel improved median progression-free survival (PFS) and trended toward an improvement in ORR (24% vs 9%) compared to docetaxel in a randomized phase 2 study in platinum-refractory UC.1
• To confirm these results, we conducted a randomized phase 3 trial (RANGE).

Conclusions
• RANGE is the first phase 3 study to demonstrate a PFS advantage over chemotherapy alone in platinum-refractory advanced or metastatic UC (HR 0.757, P=0.0118)
– PFS outcomes were consistent across most patient subgroups
– OS data will be reported when maturity has been achieved
• ORR was higher in the ramucirumab plus docetaxel arm (24.5% vs 14.0%)
• The combination of ramucirumab and docetaxel did not result in significant additive toxicity or compromise quality of life when compared to placebo plus docetaxel
• The combination of ramucirumab and docetaxel is a new treatment option for patients with platinum-refractory advanced UC.

Part C (enrolling) Dose expansion: 1 cohort (n=60)
• CPI-treated mUC patients (1.25 mg/kg)
https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Accessed 12 May 2017.
Screening of Nectin-4 Expression in mUC
• At screening, patients with mUC had
samples that were centrally assessed
by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for
Nectin-4
– Almost all patient (97%) samples
showed Nectin-4 expression
– Expression of Nectin-4 was high
(median H-score 280 out of a 300
maximum score)
• Due to the above findings, pre-
screening for Nectin-4 is no longer an
eligibility requirement for subjects with
mUC

Grade ≥3 Adverse Events Occurring in ≥5% Patients
with mUC Regardless of Attribution to Treatment
• Serious AEs were observed in 32 (40%) patients; urinary tract infection (n=4, 5%), acute renal failure (n=3,
4%), and dehydration (n=4, 4%) were reported in >2 patients
• Treatment-related serious AEs were observed in 7 (9%) patients; only pulmonary embolism (n=2) was
reported by >1 patient
• Three patients with mUC experienced a grade 5 AE cardiac arrest (n=1), small intestinal perforation and
sepsis (n=1), acute renal failure (n=1); none of these were considered related to enfortumab vedotin

Conclusions
• Multiple targets are being evaluated for the treatment
of metastatic urothelial carcinoma including EGF,
Her-2/neu, AKT/PI3Kinase, and FGF-R
• Antiangiogensis therapy combined with docetaxel
improves PFS in second line patients with metastatic
urothelial cancer
• Enfortumab Vedotin has activity in second line
urothelial carcinoma
