Metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) has a poor prognosis with a 5-year survival probability of 4.8%. The mainstay of first-line treatment is platinum-based chemotherapy. Second-line therapy involves immune checkpoint inhibitors or a fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor, erdafitinib, for patients harboring selected FGFR alterations. Several additional agents are under development for the treatment of mUC. Recent studies demonstrate that ramucirumab and docetaxel have clinical activity in mUC. We report two patients with metastatic upper tract urothelial cancer (mUTUC) with FGFR alterations who were heavily pretreated with FGFR inhibitors that later showed response to ramucirumab and docetaxel. Preclinical studies indicate that FGF and VEGF pathways work synergistically, which could explain the observations in our patients. Our findings may represent another treatment option for patients with mUC and FGFR alterations who have progressed on multiple lines of therapy.
