Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients Receiving Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab as Perioperative Systemic Therapy for Urothelial Carcinoma. An Investigator-Initiated, Prospective, Multicenter, Non-Interventional Trial.
P-EVOLVE is a prospective, multicenter, non-interventional observational study in adults with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma who receive perioperative treatment with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab as part of routine clinical care.
The study is designed to describe how peripheral neuropathy develops and changes during treatment and whether symptoms persist at the end of treatment. Peripheral neuropathy will be assessed using patient-reported questionnaires, standardized neurological examinations, and nerve conduction studies. The study will also assess neuropathic pain, neurotoxicity-related quality of life, depressive symptoms, and changes in taste and smell. Objective gustatory function will be evaluated using standardized Taste Strip testing.
Study assessments will be performed before treatment, during the neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment phases, around radical cystectomy, and at the end of treatment. Participation in the study does not determine whether treatment is started or how treatment is given. All anticancer treatment decisions remain part of routine clinical care.
The study aims to improve understanding of the onset, severity, longitudinal course, and persistence of peripheral neuropathy associated with perioperative enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab and to compare patient-reported symptoms with objective neurological and neurophysiological findings.
Inclusion: Adult patients ≥18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF); Patients with histologically confirmed muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma; Patients who have not received any prior systemic treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer; Patients who are eligible to receive enfortumab ve-dotin and pembrolizumab according to the respec-tive medicinal product information.
Exclusion: Patients who have received prior systemic therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (e.g. platinum-based chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors); Patients who have previously been treated with en-fortumab vedotin, other MMAE-based antibody-drug conjugates, or PD-(L)1 inhibitors; Patients with contraindications to enfortumab ve-dotin and/or pembrolizumab.
