This phase II trial studies how well afatinib dimaleate works in treating patients with urothelial cancer that cannot be removed surgically and has grown after treatment with standard first-line chemotherapy. Afatinib dimaleate may turn off the function of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) receptors, which may slow the growth of cancer cells or cause some of the cells to die.

  1. description
    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the smallest sum on study) and the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, or the appearance of new lesions. Estimated at 3 months using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Includes both complete responses (CR) and partial responses (PR). Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions: Complete Response (CR) is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions (any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm); Partial Response (PR) is defined as \>=30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well afatinib dimaleate works in treating patients with urothelial cancer that cannot be removed surgically and has grown after treatment with standard first-line chemotherapy. Afatinib dimaleate may turn off the function of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) receptors, which may slow the growth of cancer cells or cause some of the cells to die.
detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the 3-month progression free survival (PFS) rate in metastatic urothelial cancer patients receiving afatinib (afatinib dimaleate) who have progressed despite prior platinum-based chemotherapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the overall response rate (complete response \[CR\] + partial response \[PR\]), median progression free survival, and overall survival for the same treated population. II. To determine whether tumor epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and/or HER2 overexpression influences 3-month PFS in patients treated with afatinib. OUTLINE: Patients receive afatinib dimaleate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-42. Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months.
