Available Adjuvant Therapy Options for Patients with Stage II or III MIBC after Cystectomy

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Shilpa Gupta, MD, discussed the rationale and potential significance of the MAIN-CAV trial in patients with locally advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer treatment with TAR-210 demonstrated safety and clinical activity in FGFR-altered high- and intermediate-risk patient groups.

In 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.

Nadofaragene firadenovec maintained its durable clinical activity at 5 years in patients with high-risk, BCG-unresponsive non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Maintenance UGN-101 therapy demonstrated good durability of response in initial responders with low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer, as evidenced by a low rate of disease progression in a multicenter, longitudinal follow-up study.

Combination therapy with nivolumab and gemcitabine-cisplatin showed promising results in treating metastatic urothelial carcinoma with significantly improved overall survival and progression-free survival rates.
