Daniel P. Petrylak, MD, a professor of Medicine and Urology and co-director of the Signal Transduction Research Program at Yale School of Medicine, discussed results from the phase III RANGE trial for the combination of ramucirumab (Cyramza) and docetaxel in patients with urothelial carcinoma.
Daniel P. Petrylak, MD, a professor of Medicine and Urology and co-director of the Signal Transduction Research Program at Yale School of Medicine, discussed results from the phase III RANGE trial for the combination of ramucirumab (Cyramza) and docetaxel in patients with urothelial carcinoma.
These findings demonstrated a 25% reduction in the progression-free survival (PFS) rate in the group of patients receiving ramucirumab plus docetaxel, Petrylak says. The toxicities did not significantly increase with the addition of ramucirumab to the standard treatment of docetaxel.
Responders to UGN-101 Have Positive RFS in Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer
May 5th 2024In patients at 15 centers who had upper tract urothelial cancer, those with no evidence of disease after UGN-101 induction had a 68% rate of 3-year recurrence-free survival, and this outcome did not differ based on tumor status, method of instillation, or treatment intent.
