Study summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between MRG002 and investigator selected chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to enroll 290 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive treatment of MRG002 or investigator selected chemotherapy in a 1:1 ratio. The efficacy of MRG002 will be assessed by patient's OS, PFS and other indicators as compared to investigator selected chemotherapy. Additionally, this study will assess the pharmacokinetic profile, immunogenicity, safety, tolerability, and treatment compliance of MRG002.
