Results of Cohort K of the EV-103 Trial EV Monotherapy or in Combination With Pembro in Previously Untreated Cisplatin-Ineligible Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Cancer - Guru...

Details
Alicia Morgans and Guru Sonpavde discuss the results of Cohort K of the EV-103 trial presented at the 2022 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Congress. There remains a critical need for effective and tolerable first-line treatment options in locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. In second and later-line settings, both EV and pembrolizumab have independently shown an ov...

Long-Term Outcomes in EV-301, Enfortumab Vedotin Versus Chemotherapy in Patients With Previously Treated Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma - Jonathan Rosenberg

Details
Jonathan Rosenberg joins Alicia Morgans to discuss long-term outcomes of enfortumab vedotin (EV) in patients with previously treated advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) in the EV-301 trial. The EV-301 trial demonstrated improvements in progression-free and overall survival for patients with previously treated advanced UC who received EV compared to chemotherapy. In discussing how this updated analy...

The authors of this trial assessed outcomes with first-line pembrolizumab alone or combined with chemotherapy versus chemothe...

CheckMate 274 Trial of Adjuvant Nivolumab vs Placebo in Patients Who Underwent Radical Surgery for High-Risk Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma, Journal Club - Christopher Wallis & Zachary Klaassen

Details
Christopher Wallis and Zachary Klaassen discuss the CheckMate 274 publication, “Adjuvant Nivolumab versus Placebo in Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma.” The role of adjuvant treatment in high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma after radical surgery is not clear. The authors of this publication assigned patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma who had undergone radical surgery t...

The Role of Risk-Stratified Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Who Are Undergoing Radical Cystectomy - Arlene O. Siefker-Radtke and Shilpa Gupta

Details
In this conversation, Arlene Siefker-Radtke and Shilpa Gupta join Patrick Hensley to discuss the role of risk-stratified neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are undergoing radical cystectomy. Drs. Siefker-Radtke and Gupta explain how systemic chemotherapy can be very challenging for bladder cancer patients due to the long-term side effects it can cause, alo...

Overall Response Rate After Immune-Checkpoint Inhibitor Initiation and Post-ICI PFS in Patients With Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma - Dimitrios Makrakis

Details
Petros Grivas is joined by Dimitrios Makrakis to discuss his multi-institutional retrospective cohort study of patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) who received platinum-based chemotherapy in the first line, followed by second-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). In this study, the timely question of how the duration of response to immune checkpoint inhibitor may be interpreted as p...

Outcomes Between Patients With and Without Prior Intravesical BCG, Who Received Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors for Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma - Rafee Talukder & Petros Grivas

Details
In this conversation with Alicia Morgans, Rafee Talukder and Petros Grivas share data that investigates comparing the outcomes in patients who received prior intravesical BCG, and those patients who progressed and then required immune checkpoint inhibitors, to see if prior BCG therapy had an effect on the response on immune checkpoint inhibitors. Their hypothesis was, that patients who received BC...
