---|---|
Experimental: Cohort 1: Erdafitinib
Participants with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) presenting as papillary tumor only (carcinoma in situ [CIS], absent), with disease recurrence after bacillus Calmette- Guerin (BCG) therapy will receive treatment with erdafitinib.
|
Drug: Erdafitinib
Participants will receive erdafitinib orally beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 until 2 years of treatment have been completed, disease recurrence, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, a decision by the investigator to discontinue treatment, or study termination, whichever occurs first. Each cycle is of 28 days.
Other Name: JNJ-42756493 |
Active Comparator: Cohort 1: Investigators Choice
Participants with high-risk NMIBC presenting as papillary tumor only (CIS, absent), with disease recurrence after BCG therapy will receive the investigator's choice of either intravesical gemcitabine or intravesical mitomycin C (MMC)/hyperthermic MMC. Participants who are randomized to gemcitabine or MMC/hyperthermic MMC in Cohort 1 and demonstrate a recurrence via investigator disease assessment will have the opportunity to cross over to treatment with erdafitinib.
|
Drug: Investigator Choice (Gemcitabine)
Investigator's Choice treatment will be given once weekly for at least 4 doses of induction followed by monthly maintenance for at least 6 months. Drug: Investigator Choice (Mitomycin C) Investigator's Choice treatment will be given once weekly for at least 4 doses of induction followed by monthly maintenance for at least 6 months. |
Experimental: Cohort 2
Participants with high-risk, BCG- unresponsive NMIBC presenting as CIS with or without concurrent papillary tumor will receive treatment with erdafitinib.
|
Drug: Erdafitinib
Participants will receive erdafitinib orally beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 until 2 years of treatment have been completed, disease recurrence, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, a decision by the investigator to discontinue treatment, or study termination, whichever occurs first. Each cycle is of 28 days.
Other Name: JNJ-42756493 |
Experimental: Cohort 3
Marker lesion study in intermediate-risk NMIBC presenting as papillary disease only. All enrolled participants will receive treatment with erdafitinib.
|
Drug: Erdafitinib
Participants will receive erdafitinib orally beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 until 2 years of treatment have been completed, disease recurrence, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, a decision by the investigator to discontinue treatment, or study termination, whichever occurs first. Each cycle is of 28 days.

- Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 4 years ]RFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of the reappearance of high-risk disease, or death, whichever is reported first.
- Time to Disease Worsening [ Time Frame: Up to 4 years ]Time from the date of randomization to the date of first documented evidence of cystectomy, change in therapy indicative of more advanced disease (including systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy). Participants who are free of disease worsening and alive or have unknown status will be censored at the last tumor assessment.
- Time to Progression [ Time Frame: Up to 4 years ]Time from the date of randomization until the date of first documented evidence of any of progression or death. Participants who are progression -free and alive or have unknown status will be censored at the date of the last tumor assessment.
- Disease-Specific Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 4 years ]The time from the date of randomization to the date of the participant's death resulting from bladder cancer. Participants who are alive or have unknown vital status will be censored at the date the participant was last known to be alive. Participants whose death result from causes other than bladder cancer will be censored at their death dates.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 4 years ]The time from the date of randomization to the date of the participant's death resulting from any cause. Participants who are alive or have unknown vital status will be censored at the date the participant was last known to be alive.
- Recurrence-Free Survival [ Time Frame: Months 6, 12, and 24 ]RFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of the reappearance of high-risk disease, or death, whichever is reported first. Participants who are recurrence-free and alive or have unknown status will be censored at the last tumor assessment.
- Recurrence-Free Survival 2 (RFS2) [ Time Frame: Up to 4 years ]RFS2 is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of the reappearance of high-risk disease on the first subsequent non-surgical anticancer treatment, or death, whichever is reported first.
- RFS by Central Histopathologic Review [ Time Frame: Up to 4 years ]RFS will be assessed by central histopathologic review. RFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of the reappearance of high-risk disease, or death, whichever is reported first.
- Plasma Concentration of Erdafitinib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 14, Cycle 2 Day 1 (each cycle is of 28 days) ]Plasma concentration of erdafitinib will be reported.
- Number of Participants with Adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 4 years ]An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product
- Change from Baseline in Patient's Global Impression of Severity (of cancer) (PGIS) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 4 years ]PGIS is single-item questionnaires to evaluate patient's global impression of severity.
- Change from Baseline in Patient's Global Impression of Change (of cancer) (PGIC) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Cycle 2 Day 1 and end of treatment (up to 2 years) (each cycle is of 28 days) ]PGIC is single-item questionnaires to evaluate a patient's global impression of change of cancer.
- Change from Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) -C30 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 4 years ]EORTC QLQ-C30 is a core 30-item questionnaire for evaluating the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of participants participating in cancer clinical studies.
- Change from Baseline in EORTC QLQ- Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 4 years ]EORTC QLQ-NMIBC24 is a 24-item questionnaire for evaluating the HRQoL of participants with superficial (non-muscle-invasive) bladder cancer. The questionnaire is designed to supplement the QLQ-C30.
- Change from Baseline in EuroQol European Quality of Life - 5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 4 years ]EQ-5D-5L is a standardized measure of health status developed by the EuroQol Group to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. The EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises the following 5 dimensions: mobility, selfcare, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression.
