Gemcitabine and Carboplatin After Progression on Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab in Advanced/Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma
What this study is about
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a chemotherapy combination called gemcitabine and carboplatin (GC) works to treat advanced urothelial cancer in people who have already been treated with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab (EVP). It will also learn about the effectiveness and safety of GC in these patients.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patients must have metastatic or locally advanced histologically and radiographically confirmed urothelial carcinoma
- Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension in accordance with RECIST criteria v1.1
- Patients must have received treatment with enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab in the first line setting. Study treatment may be started within 28 days of last treatment with EV-P or with continuing toxicities if considered by the Sponsor-Investigator to be safe and within the best interest of the patient.
- Age \> 18 years.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below.
- Absolute neutrophil count \> 1,000/mm3 unless patient has constitutional neutropenia
- Platelets \> 80,000/ul
- Hemoglobin \> 8.0 g/dL
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \<2.5 x ULN or \<3.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) if liver metastases
- Creatinine Clearance \>20 mL/min
- Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent and HIPAA consent document
- Optional: Archival tumor biospecimen, when available, must be procured for correlative evaluation. If tumor tissue is not available or accessible despite good faith efforts, patient may still be treated on study. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue block(s) or at least 15 unbaked, unstained slides are required. Tissue samples taken from a metastatic lesion prior to the start of screening are acceptable.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients who have had systemic treatment including EV-P or radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to entering the study
- Patients who have had systemic treatment including EV-P or radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to entering the study
- Patients who have received more than one line of prior therapy or prior platinum-based chemotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (neoadjuvant platinum-based therapy including cisplatin is allowed)
- Patients who have not recovered from adverse events to less than Grade 2 secondary to agents administered more than 2 weeks prior to treatment initiation.
- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents
- Patients with uncontrolled and untreated CNS metastases:
- Prior radiation to central nervous system (CNS) metastases is permitted
- Prior history of CNS disease that has responded to previous systemic therapy is permitted only if no recurrence
- Patient should not have leptomeningeal disease
- CNS metastases have been clinically stable for at least 6 weeks prior to screening and baseline scans show no evidence of new or enlarged metastases
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active untreated infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit adherence with study requirements
- Subjects with a history of another invasive malignancy within 3 years before the first dose of study drug that cannot be watched and requires tumor- directed treatment, or any evidence of residual disease from a previously diagnosed malignancy that cannot be watched and requires treatment (adjuvant hormonal therapy for breast cancer is allowed)
- Currently receiving systemic antimicrobial treatment for active infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal) at the time of first dose of chemotherapy (routine antimicrobial prophylaxis is permitted)
- Pregnant or breast feeding.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
