Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: RECRUITING
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 28 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2023-12-21

Brief Summary

This phase II trial tests how well enfortumab vedotin works for treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Enfortumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, enfortumab, linked to an anticancer drug called vedotin. It works by helping the immune system to slow or stop the growth of tumor cells. Enfortumab attaches to a protein called nectin-4 on tumor cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To estimate the best response rate of enfortumab vedotin treatment for patients with metastatic penile squamous cell carcinoma (mPSCC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine overall response rate (ORR). II. To determine safety and tolerance of enfortumab vedotin in men with mPSCC. III. To characterize duration of response to enfortumab vedotin in mPSCC. IV. To estimate median overall survival and progression-free survival in men with mPSCC treated with enfortumab vedotin.

V. To analyze response in subgroups by human papillomavirus (HPV) status (related/unrelated as assessed by p16 biomarker).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive enfortumab vedotin intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1,8 and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months until progressive disease, followed by every 6 months for up to 5 years from registration.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Age ≥ 18 years
• Histological confirmation of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis (PSCC): NOTE: Biopsy confirmation of at least one site of metastasis is encouraged but not required.

NOTE: Patients who are potentially curable (any T, N1 - N3, M0) must have had tumor progression after standard chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery, or be unable to receive such treatment. Eligible stages include:

• Any T, N1 (i.e., a palpable mobile unilateral inguinal lymph node), M0 OR
• Any T, N2 (i.e., palpable mobile multiple or bilateral inguinal lymph nodes), M0 OR

• Any T, any N, M1
• Patients with clinical N1, M0 mPSCC at protocol entry must be ineligible for surgery because of comorbidities or clinical T4 disease, or have refused surgery
• Patients with clinical N1 - N3, M0, and no prior systemic therapy must be:

• Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm^3 obtained ≤ 15 days prior to registration
• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤ 3 x ULN for patients with Gilbert's disease obtained ≤ 15 days prior to registration
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN obtained ≤ 15 days prior to registration
