About this trial
The main goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new targeted cancer drug called sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) works to treat cancer while causing less nerve damage in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma who have progressed on or could not tolerate previous treatment such as enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab (EVP) or disitamab vedotin plus toripalimab (DVT).
The main question it aims to answer is: Does sac-TMT lower the risk of getting severe nerve damage, as measured together by doctors, machines, and the participants?
Researchers will compare sac-TMT to alternative MMAE-based ADC drugs (switching to a different MMAE-based ADC after the first one stopped working) to see if sac-TMT causes less nerve damage while still effectively treating the cancer. A small group of participants who had to stop their previous MMAE-based ADC treatment because of nerve damage will also receive sac-TMT to learn if the drug is safe for their nerves.
Participants will:
1. Receive either sac-TMT or another MMAE-based ADC drug 2. Have regular physical exams by a doctor to check their nerves 3. Have machine tests to measure how well their nerves work 4. Answer survey questions about their pain, numbness, and daily activities
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Must voluntarily sign the written Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC) approved informed consent form (ICF) prior to any screening procedures.
Age > 18 years at the time of signing the ICF.
Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC), including bladder, ureter, renal pelvis, or urethra. Participants with mixed histology are eligible provided that UC is the predominant component (> 50%).
Must have received at least one prior line of systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic UC (e.g., Enfortumab Vedotin plus Pembrolizumab, Disitamab Vedotin plus Toripalimab, platinum-based chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, Nectin-4 ADCs, HER2 ADCs, FGFR inhibitors, or other palliative chemotherapy regimens).
Disqualifiers
Prior treatment with TROP2-targeted ADCs, topoisomerase I inhibitors (e.g., irinotecan, topotecan), or ADCs containing topoisomerase I inhibitor payloads.
Patients previously treated with both Enfortumab Vedotin (EV) and Disitamab Vedotin (DV) are excluded from Cohorts A and B (eligible for Cohort C only).
Treatment with any investigational anti-tumor agents, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, targeted therapy, or radical radiotherapy within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose.
Active CNS or meningeal metastases. Patients with previously treated CNS metastases are eligible if clinically stable for ≥ 4 weeks, off systemic corticosteroids for ≥ 2 weeks (physiological replacement ≤ 10 mg/day prednisone equivalent is allowed), and no evidence of radiographic progression.
