Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma Locally Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma Recurrent Urothelial Carcinoma Stage III Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma AJCC v6 and v7 Stage IV Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma AJCC v7 Unresectable Urothelial Carcinoma | Drug: Eribulin Mesylate Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis Other: Pharmacological Study | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To establish whether eribulin mesylate (E7389) can be given safely to patients with moderate and severe renal dysfunction at 1.4 mg/m^2/week (the maximum tolerated dose [MTD] previously defined for patients with normal renal function) on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. (Phase I) II. To characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of E7389 in patients with moderate and severe renal dysfunction. (Phase I) III. To determine the response rate of patients with advanced urothelial carcinomas to E7389 in the first-line setting. (Phase II) IV. To determine the 6-month, progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with advanced urothelial carcinomas treated with E7389. (Phase II) V. To document the toxicity associated with the administration of E7389 to patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma patients and varying degrees of renal dysfunction. (Phase II) VI. To determine the response rate of patients with advanced urothelial carcinomas to E7389 in the setting of progression after prior platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced or recurrent disease, in two cohorts: tubulin-inhibitor treated or tubulin-inhibitor naive. (tubulin inhibitors in common use for urothelial cancer include paclitaxel, docetaxel and vinblastine). (Phase II) (per Amendment 6) VII. To determine the 6-month progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with advanced urothelial carcinomas treated with E7389 after platinum-based therapy for recurrent or advanced disease. (Phase II) (per Amendment 6) VIII. To document the toxicity associated with the administration of E7389 to patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma patients in the second line and later setting. (Phase II) (per Amendment 6) IX. To compare men and women with advanced bladder cancer treated with E7389 with respect to toxicity of E7389 as classified by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)4 for (i) all hematologic toxicities, (ii) all non- hematologic toxicities, and (iii) the most frequently observed toxicities (neutropenia, anemia, leucopenia, infection). (Enrollment to additional females) (per Amendment 11) X. To compare men and women with advanced bladder cancer treated with E7389 with respect to response to E7389 as evidenced by (i) disease control rate (DCR) defined as stable disease (SD)+partial response (PR)+complete response (CR) at 12 weeks, (ii) progression-free survival (PFS), and (iii) overall survival (OS). (Enrollment to additional females) (per Amendment 11) XI. To compare men and women with advanced bladder cancer treated with E7389 with respect to pharmacokinetics of E7389. (Enrollment to additional females) (per Amendment 11) XII. To compare men and women with advanced bladder cancer treated with E7389 with respect to tumoral expression of genes involved in the mechanism of action of E7389, including tubulin isotypes, microtubule-associated protein 4 (MAP4), and stathmin. (Enrollment to additional females) (per Amendment 11)

- Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of eribulin mesylate for patients who have received a tubulin-inhibitor for the recurrent/advanced disease (Phase I) [ Time Frame: 21 days ]MTD and RP2D will be graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse (CTCAE) version 5.0.
- MTD and RP2D of eribulin mesylate for patients who have not received a tubulin-inhibitor for the recurrent/advanced disease (Phase I) [ Time Frame: 21 days ]MTD and RP2D will be graded according to CTCAE version 5.0.
- Overall response rate [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]Calculated as the ratio of the number of eligible patients who experienced a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (Phase II). 95% confidence intervals will be constructed.
- Progression-free survival (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From the start of treatment on day 1 until progression, death, or the start of another treatment, assessed at 6 months ]Summarized with Kaplan-Meier plots and confidence intervals. The Cox proportional hazards model will be used to compare males and females, adjusting for the pharmacokinetic (PK) variables as well as age, renal status, and prior therapy.
- Progression-free survival (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From the start of treatment on day 1 until progression, death, or the start of another treatment, assessed up to 12 months ]Summarized with Kaplan-Meier plots and confidence intervals. The Cox proportional hazards model will be used to compare males and females, adjusting for the PK variables as well as age, renal status, and prior therapy.
- Overall survival (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From the start of treatment on day 1 until progression, death, or the start of another treatment, assessed up to 12 months ]Summarized with Kaplan-Meier plots and confidence intervals. The Cox proportional hazards model will be used to compare males and females, adjusting for the PK variables as well as age, renal status, and prior therapy.
- Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]Graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. All observed toxicities will be summarized in terms of type (organ affected or laboratory determination such as absolute neutrophil count), severity (by the CTCAE version 5.0), and time of onset (i.e. course of treatment). Tables will be created to summarize these toxicities and side effects, overall, by course, by renal insufficiency status, and by prior exposure to tubulin-inhibitors.
- Pharmacokinetic parameters for eribulin mesylate [ Time Frame: At baseline; at 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes; and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours on day 1 of course 1 and at end of days 2-4 and 8 of course 1 ]Analyzed using compartmental and non-compartmental models. max concentration, systemic clearance, renal clearance, volume of distribution, half life, and area under the curve tabulated overall, and by prior exposure to tubulin-inhibitors, with summary statistics (means and standard deviations, or medians and ranges) and displayed with box-plots; the relationship between the PK parameters and indices of renal function (e.g. serum creatinine and creatinine clearance) will be examined using scatterplots and correlations.
- Expression levels of the tubulin isotypes [ Time Frame: Baseline ]For each of the tubulin isotypes, the distribution of the expression levels will be summarized with plots and standard statistical summary numbers; prior to analysis, the expression levels may be transformed to render the distributions more compatible with the assumptions of normal distribution. The association between the expression levels and response will be summarized with means and standard deviations and confidence intervals (or medians and ranges) and displayed with box-plots.
- Disease control rate (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Logistic regression will be used to compare males and females, adjusting for the PK variables as well as age, renal status, and prior therapy.

- Patients with symptomatic uremia, uncontrolled edema or unstable serum electrolytes should not enter the trial until such time as they have been stabilized - such patients should be discussed with the principal investigator
- Eligibility of patients receiving any medications or substances known to affect or with the potential to affect the activity or pharmacokinetics of E7389 Halichondrin analog will be determined following review of their case by the principal investigator
- The effects of E7389 Halichondrin analog on the developing human fetus at the recommended therapeutic dose are unknown; for this reason and because tubulin inhibitors are known to be teratogenic, women and men of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
