Study Description

Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of V940 in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) compared to pembrolizumab alone as an adjuvant treatment for participants with pathologic high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC) after radical resection. The primary study hypothesis is that V940 in combination with pembrolizumab results in a superior disease-free survival (DFS) as assessed by the investigator compared to pembrolizumab alone in participants with high-risk MIUC after radical resection.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Disease Free Survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 28 months ]
    DFS is defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause, or presence of disease per investigator assessment with muscle-invasive (≥pT2) disease in the urothelial tract (upper tract or lower tract) or high grade T1 disease in the upper tract on imaging and biopsy, and/or disease recurrence outside the urothelial tract on imaging with or without confirmation by biopsy. DFS will be reported for each arm.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 28 months ]
    Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. OS will be reported for each arm.

  2. Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 28 months ]
    DMFS is defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause, or disease recurrence outside the urothelial tract on imaging with or without confirmation by biopsy, per investigator assessment. DMFS will be reported for each arm.

  3. Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 16 months ]
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants who experience AEs will be reported for each arm.

  4. Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 13 months ]
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an adverse event will be presented. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be reported for each arm.
