CheckMate 274: Data Updates in MIBC from GU ASCO, ASCO, and ESMO 2022

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.
