  • Research summary

    This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter Phase 2/3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rogaratinib (BAY 1163877) compared to chemotherapy in patients with FGFR-positive locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who have received prior platinum-containing
    chemotherapy.

    The primary objective of the entire study is to compare rogaratinib (BAY1163877) with chemotherapy (docetaxel, paclitaxel or vinflunine) in
    terms of prolonging the Overall survival (OS) of patients with FGFR-positive urothelial carcinoma.

    At randomization, patients will have locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma and have received at least one prior platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen. Only patients with FGFR1 or 3 positive tumours can be randomized into the study. Archival tumour tissue
    is adequate for testing of FGFR1 and 3 mRNA expressions, which will be determined centrally using an RNA in situ hybridization (RNA-ISH) test.
    Approximately 42 % of UC patients with locally advanced or metastatic UC are identified as FGFR-positive by the RNA-ISH cut-off applied.
