Official title: A Randomized Phase 2/3 Study of Ivonescimab in Combination With Enfortumab Vedotin vs Pembrolizumab in Combination With Enfortumab Vedotin in Previously Untreated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma (HARMONi-GU1)

Run by Summit Therapeutics · NCT07815665 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests if adding ivonescimab to enfortumab vedotin works better than pembrolizumab plus enfortumab vedotin for people with untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18 years or older with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, no prior systemic therapy for LA/mUC, ECOG 0-1, measurable disease, and adequate organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients with resectable disease, certain high-risk GI conditions, or significant neuropathy or neuroendocrine features may not benefit from this regimen.

What this trial studies

This is a two-part Phase 2/3 randomized, open-label study evaluating an ivonescimab and enfortumab vedotin combination versus pembrolizumab and enfortumab vedotin in patients with previously untreated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Part 1 identifies the recommended Phase 3 dose of ivonescimab in combination with EV using two dosage levels. Part 2 compares the efficacy and safety of the ivonescimab plus EV regimen against pembrolizumab plus EV. Eligible adults are ECOG 0-1 with measurable disease and adequate organ function; key exclusions include resectable disease with curative potential and certain GI conditions. The study will be conducted at multiple sites in the U.S. and is led by Summit Therapeutics.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the ivonescimab plus enfortumab vedotin approach could improve response and outcomes for patients with untreated LA/mUC compared with the current standard of care.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in similar urothelial cancer regimens have shown potential benefit from antibody-drug conjugate combinations, but this exact ivonescimab plus EV approach is investigational.
