MoonRISe-1: Evaluating TAR-210 for Intermediate-Risk Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer - Roger Li

Details
Sam Chang interviews Roger Li about the MoonRISe-1 trial. This phase 3 study explores the use of TAR-210, an innovative intravesical delivery system for the tyrosine kinase inhibitor erdafitinib, targeting patients with intermediate-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer harboring FGFR alterations. Dr. Li explains that TAR-210, administered via a quick in-office procedure, continuously releases e...

Cretostimogene Grenadenorepvec: A Novel Oncolytic Immunotherapy for BCG-Unresponsive NMIBC - Roger Li

Details
Zach Klaassen interviews Roger Li about the CORE-001 trial for BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Dr. Li highlights the significant need for bladder-sparing therapies for patients who are too frail or unwilling to undergo radical cystectomy. The trial explores the combination of cretostimogene grenadenorepvec, an oncolytic immunotherapy, with pembrolizumab. This combination shows...

CORE-001 Study Demonstrates Promising Results for Bladder Cancer with Cretostimogene Grenadenorepvec and Pembrolizumab - Trinity Bivalacqua & Roger Li

Details
Ashish Kamat hosts a discussion with Roger Li and Trinity Bivalacqua on the CORE-001 study evaluating cretostimogene grenadenorepvec and pembrolizumab for BCG-unresponsive CIS. Dr. Li highlights the 83% complete response rate at any time, 57.1% at 12 months, and 54.3% at 24 months, noting the therapy's durability and lack of progression to muscle-invasive or metastatic disease. The combination the...

AI-Based Assessment Tool for Predicting BCG Response in Bladder Cancer Patients - Yair Lotan

Details
Ashish Kamat and Yair Lotan discuss an innovative AI-based assessment tool presented by Valar Labs, aimed at refining the management of BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer. Dr. Lotan discusses the tool's capability to enhance the precision of prognosis and treatment strategies by analyzing pathologic slides with AI to identify high-risk patients who might not respond well to BCG treatment. This AI alg...

Leveraging AI Biomarkers to Navigate the Evolving Landscape of Bladder Cancer Treatment - Stephen Williams

Details
Zach Klaassen hosts Stephen B Williams to discuss an innovative AI biomarker for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Dr. Williams emphasizes the significance of refining clinical predictors for bladder cancer, highlighting the potential of the AI biomarker to revolutionize treatment approaches.
