- Jason Brown joins Sam Chang in conversation on the results of neoadjuvant combination therapy prior to cystectomy and nephroureterectomy. This is a multi-institutional phase Ib/II two-stage study investigating chemo-immunotherapy in patients with cisplatin-eligible or ineligible muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma. The treatment for cisplatin-eligible patients included gemcitabine, cisplatin, and...

- Matthew Milowsky joins Sam Chang in a discussion on the patient-reported outcomes from Cohort K of the EV-103 Phase 1b/2 study which analyzed the impact of enfortumab vedotin (EV) alone or combined with pembrolizumab on patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who were ineligible for cisplatin. The objective was to describe the impact on the patients' quality of life (QoL)...

- Michiel Van der Heijden joins Alicia Morgans to discuss the NABUCCO trial, which investigated preoperative ipilimumab plus nivolumab in locoregionally advanced urothelial cancer. The study enrolled patients with Stage 3 disease, including both cisplatin-ineligible and cisplatin-refusing patients, with about 40% being node-positive. In cohort 1, high pathological complete response rates were observ...
