Detailed Description:
A study of erdafitinib versus standard of care, consisting of chemotherapy (docetaxel or vinflunine) or anti-PD-(L) 1 agent pembrolizumab, in participants with advanced urothelial cancer and selected FGFR aberrations who have progressed on or after 1 or 2 prior treatments, at least 1 of which includes an anti-PD-(L) 1 agent (cohort 1) or 1 prior treatment not containing an anti-PD-(L) 1 agent (cohort 2). It will consist of screening, treatment phase (from randomization until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or decision by investigator to discontinue treatment, post-treatment follow-up (from end-of-treatment to participants death, withdraws consent, lost to follow-up study completion for the respective cohort, whichever comes first). The study will have long term extension (LTE) period after clinical cutoff date is achieved for final analysis of each cohort and participants eligible in the opinion of the investigator, will continue to benefit from the study intervention. Efficacy, pharmacokinetics, biomarkers, patient reported outcomes, medical resource utilization and safety will be assessed.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Cohort 1 (Arm 1A): Erdafitinib
Participants will be screened based on Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor Clinical Trial Assay (FGFRi CTA) to determine molecular eligibility and participants who meet molecular eligibility criteria will be eligible for full study screening. Participants enrolled in the study (treated with prior anti-programmed cell death protein PD-[L] 1 agent) will swallow erdafitinib tablets orally at a starting dose of 8 milligram (mg), once daily for 21 days in a 21-day cycle until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or decision by the investigator to discontinue treatment. Dose adjustment are based on phosphate level and observed toxicity (adverse events [AEs]). Participants who enter in Long-term extension (LTE) phase will continue to receive the erdafitinib tablet as per investigator's decision.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Date of first randomization to the date of participant's death (approximately up to 3 years) ]
    Overall survival is measured from the date of randomization to the date of the participant's death. If the participant is alive or the vital status is unknown, the participant will be censored at the date the participant was last known to be alive.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Date of randomization to the date of disease progression or relapse from complete response (CR) or death, whichever is reported first (approximately up to 3 years) ]
    PFS is defined as duration in days from date of randomization to disease progression date (assessed per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 [RECIST v1.1] by investigator) or relapse from CR or death, whichever is reported first. RECIST 1.1, progressive disease is defined as a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of diameters of all target lesions and a minimum absolute increase of 5 millimeter (mm) in the sum. CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level.

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Approximately up to 3 years ]
    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve CR (CR; disappearance of all target lesions and disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level) or partial response (PR; at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), as assessed per RECIST v1.1 by the investigator.

  3. Change from Baseline in Participant-Reported Health Status and Physical Functioning Scales of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-Bl) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (approximately 3 years) ]
    The FACT-Bl consists of 36 core items, with 5-point Likert response scales, covering 5 primary domains: Physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, functional well-being, and bladder symptom subscale. The answer scales range from "Not at all (score=0)" to "very much (score=4)" to assess the meaningful significant symptom deterioration.

  4. Time Until Symptom Deterioration (Subset of FACT-BI Items) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (approximately 3 years) ]
    The FACT-Bl consists of 36 core items, with 5-point Likert response scales, covering 5 primary domains: Physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, functional well-being, and bladder symptom subscale. The answer scales range from "Not at all (score=0)" to "very much (score=4)" to assess the meaningful significant symptom deterioration.

  5. Change from Baseline in Patient-Global Impression of Severity (PGIS) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (approximately 3 years) ]
    The PGIS is a single question regarding the participant report of disease severity. Participants will be asked that ''considering all aspects of your bladder cancer symptoms right now, would you say your bladder cancer symptoms are none, mild, moderate, severe, or very severe?" The PGIS is an anchor question that will be used to establish the magnitude of meaningful change in this study by assessing disease severity.

  6. Change from Baseline in the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of the EQ-5D-5L [ Time Frame: Baseline up to follow up phase (approximately 3 years) ]
    European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) visual analog scale (VAS) is a 20 centimeter (cm) vertical VAS with scores ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (perfect health). A higher score indicates an improvement in health in the Health Status Index.

  7. Change from Baseline in the Utility Scale of the EQ-5D-5L [ Time Frame: Baseline up to follow up phase (approximately 3 years) ]
    The EuroQol-5 is a five dimensional health state classification. Each dimension is assessed on a 3-point ordinal scale (1=no problems, 2=some problems, 3=extreme problems). The responses to the five EQ-5D dimensions were scored using a utility-weighted algorithm to derive an EQ-5D health status index score between 0 to 1, with 1.00 indicating "full health" and 0 representing dead.

  8. Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: From the date of initial documentation of a response to date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (or participants relapse who experience CR during the study) or death (approximately up to 3 years) ]
    DOR for responders is defined as duration in days from the date of initial documentation of a response to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (PD) or relapse for participants who experience CR (CR; disappearance of all target lesions and disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level) during the study or death.

  9. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) as a Measure of Safety [ Time Frame: Approximately up to 3 years ]
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.

  10. Oral Clearance (CL/F) of Erdafitinib [ Time Frame: Day 14 (Cycle 1), Day 1 (Cycle 2) (each cycle is of 21 days) ]
    CL/F is the oral clearance; that is clearance based on oral bioavailability of erdafitinib.

  11. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve from Time Zero to Time 't' (AUC[0-t]) of Erdafitinib [ Time Frame: Day 14 (Cycle 1), Day 1 (Cycle 2) (each cycle is of 21 days) ]
    AUC(0-t) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to any time 't' of erdafitinib.
