EV-103 Study Update: Impressive Four-Year Data on Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab Combination in Urothelial Cancer - Shilpa Gupta

Details
Shilpa Gupta shares significant insights on the EV-103 study focused on the four-year outcomes of enfortumab vedotin (EV) and pembrolizumab as a frontline treatment for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer patients who are cisplatin ineligible. Dr. Gupta discusses the 73% response rates, median overall survival exceeding two years, and over 41% of patients remaining progression-free af...

Outcomes with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Patients with MTAP Alterations in Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma - Rafee Talukder

Details
Rafee Talukder discusses his presentation on his research into the effects of MTAP loss on survival rates among advanced urothelial cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy. With the help of an extensive international database, his team found that patients with this MTAP loss exhibited worse observed response rates and a trend toward poorer progression-free survival. In addition, the conversation...

A Breakthrough in Urothelial Cancer Treatment: Enfortumab Vedotin Combination Therapy - Expert Insights and Impressive Response Rates - Jonathan E. Rosenberg

Details
Alicia Morgans speaks with Jonathan Rosenberg about the approval of the combination of Enfortumab vedotin (EV) and Pembrolizumab for urothelial carcinoma treatment. Dr. Rosenberg notes the impressive response rates (64.5%) from the combination, as compared to EV monotherapy (45%), and highlights the promising survival rates, which significantly exceed expectations for a cisplatin-eligible populati...

The San Raffaele Urologic Oncology Retreat: Examples of ECOG-ACRIN Research Initiatives - Petros Grivas

Petros Grivas elaborates on the structure, work, and initiatives of the ECOG-ACRIN Cooperative Group, emphasizing its diverse committees and its collaboration with the NCI. He highlights the Group's exploration of targeted therapies and non-immunotherapy combinations, especially through their innovative ComboMATCH program, designed to overcome resistance to single-agent targeted therapies. Grivas...

Exploring Genetic Biomarkers of Response to Enfortumab Vedotin in Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma: Analysis of UNITE Dataset - Tanya Jindal & Vadim Koshkin

Details
Tanya Jindal and Vadim Koshkin join Petros Grivas to discuss their work to help identify potential biomarkers of response to enfortumab vedotin (EV) in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma using a patient cohort in the UNITE dataset. The UNITE study researchers analyzed biomarkers associated with enfortumab vedotin (EV) treatment outcomes in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma. They...

Extended Follow-Up Results of the CheckMate 274 Trial: Adjuvant Nivolumab for Resected Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma - Matthew Galsky

Details
Matt Galsky joins Sam Chang in a conversation about the long-term results of CheckMate 274, a randomized phase III study that enrolled patients with muscle-invasive urothelial cancer at high risk for recurrence after radical surgery. Patients were randomized to receive adjuvant nivolumab or placebo, with adjuvant nivolumab given for up to a year. The study's co-primary endpoints were disease-free...

Long-Term Follow-up from the JAVELIN Bladder 100 Trial - Srikala Sridhar

Details
Srikala Sridhar joins Sam Chang in discussing long-term follow-up from the JAVELIN Bladder 100 trial of avelumab first-line maintenance for advanced urothelial carcinoma. The JAVELIN-100 study was conducted on patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma who had received frontline platinum-based chemotherapy and achieved a disease response. These patients were then randomized to receive either av...

The Use of Biomarkers in the Adjuvant Setting to Understand the Effect of Nivolumab in the Checkmate 274 Study - Andrea Necchi

Details
Alicia Morgans is joined by Andrea Necchi in a conversation on the CheckMate 274 trial, the use of biomarkers in the adjuvant setting, and how they can be used to understand the effect of nivolumab. Necchi and colleagues performed an exploratory analysis to assess the association between disease-free survival (DFS) and biomarkers (continuous scale) and estimate treatment-effect hazard ratios for b...
