  • Are able to read and/or understand the details of the study and provide written evidence of informed consent as approved by Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)
  • Have recovered from AEs of previous systemic anti-cancer therapies to baseline or grade 1, except for alopecia
  • Are able to swallow and retain oral medication
  • Are willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan and laboratory tests
  • If a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP), must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of the first dose of study drug. A woman is not of childbearing potential if she has undergone surgical sterilization (total hysterectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy at least 6 weeks before taking study drug) or if she is post-menopausal and has had no menstrual bleeding of any kind including menstrual period, irregular bleeding, spotting, etc., for at least 12 months, with an appropriate clinical profile, and there is no other cause of amenorrhea (e.g., hormonal therapy, prior chemotherapy). WOCBP and males whose sexual partners are WOCBP must agree to use barrier contraception and a second form of highly effective contraception (Clinical Trials Facilitation Group, 2014) while receiving study drug and for 3 months following their last dose of study drug. Alternatively, total abstinence is also considered a highly effective contraception method when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject.

Patients receive infigratinib PO QD on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. During weeks 8-9 (at least 48 hours after last dose of infigratinib), patients undergo surgery.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of adverse events
Will estimate proportion of patients who are not able to complete treatment (discontinuation) due to excessive toxicity along with the 90% exact confidence interval. Toxicities will be tabulated using frequency and percentage by grade and their relations to treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Objective response
Will estimate the objective response rate along with the 90% confidence interval. Fisher's exact test will be used to explore the difference in response between the two cohorts of patients.
Circulating cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA) analysis
Wilcoxon rank sum test and Fisher's exact test will be used to explore the association between objective response and cfDNA.
Expression of markers
Wilcoxon rank sum test and Fisher's exact test will be used to explore the association between objective response and expression of markers.
FGFR3 alteration type
Wilcoxon rank sum test and Fisher's exact test will be used to explore the association between objective response and FGFR3 alteration type.
Recurrence
Will be summarized using proportion and 90% confidence interval as a binary outcome, and will also be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method as a time to event variable.
Changes in patient reported quality of life outcomes
Will be measured using a validated questionnaire (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire version 3).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of infigratinib before surgery in treating patients with upper tract urothelial cancer. Infigratinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the activities of a gene called FGFR needed for cell growth. Giving infigratinib before surgery may cause the tumor to shrink, which may make the surgical procedure easier and/or reduce the need for more extensive surgery.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Evaluate the tolerability of infigratinib in patients with low-grade and high-grade platinum ineligible upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess tolerability in those with GFR 30-49. II. Evaluate the objective response rate (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) of infigratinib after 2 cycles in UTUC with and without FGFR3 alterations. III. Correlate tumor tissue FGFR3 alteration (presence/absence, alteration type, and clonal status) with response and occurrence/severity of adverse events (AEs) such as hyperphosphatemia. IV. Evaluate upper tract, bladder and local/distant recurrence within 12 months. V. Evaluate renal function pre-treatment and after two treatments. VI. Evaluate patient-reported quality of life (QOL) outcomes during treatment. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Explore intra-tumor heterogeneity, gene expression profiles, and changes in tumor microenvironment using single cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing (scRNA-seq) and mass cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) pre and post treatment to identify potential mechanisms of response and/or resistance, and correlation with the occurrence/severity of AEs. II. Explore urinary/upper tract washing FGFR3 alterations as potential biomarker for detection and response. III. Explore cell free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA) for detection of FGFR3 alterations and as a predictor of response. OUTLINE: Patients receive infigratinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. During weeks 8-9 (at least 48 hours after last dose of infigratinib), patients undergo surgery. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, then every 3 months for up to 1 year after surgery.
