What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of SHR-A2102, an injectable treatment, against investigator-selected therapies in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma who have previously undergone platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-(L)1 inhibitors. The study aims to enroll patients aged 18 to 80 with confirmed locally advanced or metastatic disease, assessing their response to treatment through imaging and performance status. Participants will receive either SHR-A2102 or standard therapies such as Docetaxel, Paclitaxel, Gemcitabine, or Pemetrexed, with the goal of determining which approach offers better outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 80 with advanced urothelial carcinoma who have previously been treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-(L)1 inhibitors.

Not a fit: Patients who have not received prior treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy or PD-(L)1 inhibitors may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new effective treatment option for patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches, but the specific efficacy of SHR-A2102 remains to be fully established.

Patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease who have previously received both a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and a PD-(L)1 inhibitor; patients who received platinum-based chemotherapy and/or a PD-(L)1 inhibitor as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy and experienced recurrence or progression during treatment or within 6 months after completing treatment will be considered to have received these therapies in the locally advanced/metastatic setting.

4. Prior receipt of antibody-drug conjugates containing topoisomerase I inhibitors in the composition.
5. For locally advanced or metastatic disease: patients who have previously received more than three lines of systemic therapy in this setting.For neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy: if the disease recurs or progresses during treatment or within 6 months after its completion, the patient is considered to have received first-line systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease.
6. Prior treatment with more than 1 antibody-drug conjugate.
7. Major surgery other than diagnosis or biopsy within 4 weeks prior to randomization that requires elective surgery during the trial.
8. Received systemic glucocorticoids (prednisone \> 10 mg/day or equivalent dose) or other immunosuppressants within 14 days prior to the first use of investigational drug or randomization for immunosuppressive purposes.
