Study of Ramucirumab or Icrucumab (IMC-18F1) With Docetaxel or Docetaxel Alone as Second-Line Therapy in Participants With Bladder,Urethra, Ureter, or Renal Pelvis Carcinoma

An Open-Label, Multicenter, Randomized Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Docetaxel in Combination With Ramucirumab (IMC-1121B) Drug Product or IMC-18F1 or Without Investigational Therapy as Second-line Therapy in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder, Urethra, Ureter, or Renal Pelvis Following Disease Progression on First-line Platinum-based Therapy

This multicenter trial will enroll participants with metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis who have had disease progression on first-line platinum-based chemotherapy regimens. Participants will be enrolled into 1 of 3 treatment arms: docetaxel; docetaxel and ramucirumab; or docetaxel and icrucumab.

• Had treatment with a platinum-containing regimen

• Disease progression within 12 months of after receiving the last dose of a platinum containing regimen in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting, and/or had disease progression while on a platinum-containing regimen or within 12 months after the last dose of therapy in the locally advanced or metastatic setting

• Has measurable or nonmeasurable disease

• Life expectancy of ≥ 3 months

• Received no more than 2 prior systemic chemotherapy regimens in any setting

• Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1

• Has adequate hematologic, coagulation, hepatic and renal function

  • cirrhosis (any degree) and a history of hepatic encephalopathy or ascites resulting from cirrhosis and requiring ongoing treatment with diuretics and/or paracentesis

• If female, is surgically sterile, postmenopausal, or compliant with a highly effective contraceptive method during and for 12 weeks after the treatment period

• If male, the patient is surgically sterile or compliant with a contraceptive regimen during and for 12 weeks after the treatment period

Exclusion Criteria:

• Received more than one prior systemic treatment regimen for metastatic disease
• Received prior systemic taxane therapy (except for prior paclitaxel therapy) for Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the bladder, urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis in any setting (neoadjuvant, adjuvant, metastatic). Prior intravesical taxane therapy is allowed

• Has an acute/subacute bowel obstruction or history of chronic diarrhea requiring ongoing medical intervention
• History of gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistula within 6 months prior to randomization
• Has active diverticulitis
