Izalontamab Brengitecan versus Platinum Chemotherapy for Advanced Urothelial Cancer

IZABRIGHT-Bladder01: A Randomized, Open-label, Phase 2/3 Trial of Izalontamab Brengitecan Versus Platinum-based Chemotherapy for Metastatic Urothelial Cancer in Participants With Disease Progression on or After an Immunotherapy-based Treatment

Phase2; Phase3 Interventional Bristol-Myers Squibb · NCT07106762

This trial tests whether izalontamab brengitecan works better than standard platinum-based chemotherapy for people with metastatic urothelial (bladder) cancer that progressed after prior immunotherapy.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2/3 study compares izalontamab brengitecan with investigator-choice platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin with gemcitabine) in patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who have progressed on prior anti–PD-(L)1 therapy. Eligible participants must have histologic confirmation, at least one measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1, and ECOG performance status 0–1, with limited prior lines of therapy and no recent platinum exposure within 12 months. Participants will be assigned to one of the treatment arms and followed for tumor response, progression-free survival, and safety outcomes. The trial is sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb and is open at selected U.S. clinical sites in Arizona and California.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who progressed on prior anti–PD-(L)1 therapy, have ECOG 0–1, at least one measurable lesion, are eligible for platinum chemotherapy, have had no platinum exposure within the past 12 months, and have received no more than two prior regimens.

Not a fit: Patients unlikely to benefit include those with recent platinum exposure within 12 months, more than two prior systemic regimens, prior ADCs targeting EGFR or HER3, prior topoisomerase I inhibitor therapy, or poor performance status beyond ECOG 1.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the drug could offer a more effective treatment option than standard platinum chemotherapy for patients whose cancer progressed after immunotherapy.

How similar studies have performed: Other antibody–drug conjugates (for example enfortumab vedotin and sacituzumab govitecan) have shown clinical benefit in post–immunotherapy urothelial carcinoma, but izalontamab brengitecan is a newer agent with limited prior phase data in this disease.
