Enfortumab Vedotin for Metastatic or Unresectable Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This study is testing a drug called enfortumab vedotin for men with penile squamous cell carcinoma (a type of penile cancer) that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Enfortumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, meaning it's a man-made protein that targets specific cells. It works by attaching to a protein called nectin-4 on cancer cells and delivering an anticancer drug to kill them. Researchers want to see how many patients respond to this treatment. You may be eligible if you are 18 or older and have this type of penile cancer. The study plans to enroll 28 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design
This is a single-arm study, meaning all participants receive the same treatment. It is testing enfortumab vedotin in about 28 participants.
What's involved
You would receive enfortumab vedotin intravenously (through a vein) on specific days of each 28-day cycle. You would also have CT scans or MRIs throughout the study.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
After treatment, you will have follow-up appointments for 30 days, then every 3 months until your disease progresses, and then every 6 months for up to 5 years.

AI-generated from the public study record. Only the study team can confirm whether you're eligible — confirm details with them before making decisions.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Age ≥ 18 years
Histological confirmation of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis (PSCC): NOTE: Biopsy confirmation of at least one site of metastasis is encouraged but not required.
At least one site of metastatic or unresectable PSCC. NOTE: Prior therapy is not required for patients whose treatment is considered palliative (for example, presence of distant metastasis). NOTE: Patients who are potentially curable (any T, N1 - N3, M0) must have had tumor progression after standard chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery, or be unable to receive such treatment. Eligible stages include:

Any T, N2 (i.e., palpable mobile multiple or bilateral inguinal lymph nodes), M0 OR
Any T, N3 (i.e., fixed inguinal nodal mass or any pelvic lymphadenopathy), M0 OR
Any T, any N, M1
Patients with clinical N1, M0 mPSCC at protocol entry must be ineligible for surgery because of comorbidities or clinical T4 disease, or have refused surgery
Patients with clinical N1 - N3, M0, and no prior systemic therapy must be:
Unable to receive neoadjuvant (paclitaxel + ifosfamide + cisplatin) TIP because of comorbidities or refused TIP; AND
Unable to receive radiotherapy with curative intent, or refused radiotherapy
