- Sam Chang hosts Yohann Loriot to discuss the LEAP-011 study. The study aims to evaluate the combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib for treating metastatic urothelial carcinoma in patients ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Despite promising preliminary data from the KEYNOTE-146 study, the LEAP-011 trial finds no significant difference in progression-free survival (PFS) or overall su...
