For patients who underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, those with lower net worth incurred higher costs posttreatment.

Three additional clinical trials will study nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg for the treatment of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

An investigational new drug application for UGN-103 was accepted by the FDA. A phase 3 study to assess the safety and efficacy of the agent in low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is anticipated.

Alex Chehrazi-Raffle, MD, discusses findings from a real-world analysis of adjuvant treatment in bladder cancer presented at ASCO GU.

Findings from a 3-year follow-up analysis found that nadofaragene firadenovec demonstrated durable, lasting results for patients with high-risk BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Joseph M. Jacob, MD, discussed how bladder preservation is the top reason for refusal of radical cystectomy in the TAR-200 monotherapy cohort of the SunRISe-1 study.

Following a discussion centered on the EV-302 study, Thomas Powles, MBBS, MRCP, MD, and the Oncology Brothers discuss the role of circulating tumor DNA in urothelial cancer.

A comprehensive discussion on treatment-related adverse events seen in patients receiving enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab.

The Oncology Brothers are joined by Thomas Powles, MBBS, MRCP, MD, to discuss the role of enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab in the bladder cancer treatment landscape.

At a live virtual event, Arlene O. Siefker-Radtke, MD, looked at the newer treatment strategies available for patients with advanced bladder cancer including sacituzumab govitecan.

Nivolumab given with cisplatin-based chemotherapy has received approval from the FDA for patients with treatment-naive unresectable or mUC.

Enfortumab vedotin with pembrolizumab significantly improved survival outcomes compared with chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated advanced urothelial cancer.

Alex Chehrazi-Raffle, MD, discussed a real-world analysis of clinical characteristics of patients with bladder cancer receiving adjuvant nivolumab or chemotherapy.

Available data on patient-reported outcomes and positive interim results from QUILT 3.032 support N-803 for patients with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Stephen Williams, MD, discussed a retrospective cohort study presented at ASCO GU analyzing intravesical gemcitabine usage vs Bacillus Calmette-Guérin for the treatment of high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Thomas Powles, MD, MBBS, MRCP, discussed the impressive performance of enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, as seen in the EV-302 trial.

Research across kidney, bladder, and prostate cancers was showcased January 25-27 in San Francisco, California.

The phase 3 AMBASSADOR Alliance A031501 trial of adjuvant pembrolizumab in muscle-invasive and locally advanced urothelial carcinoma successfully achieved its primary end point. However, the interim analysis did not meet the overall survival end point.

The phase 3 EV-302/KEYNOTE-A39 trial, which includes prespecified subgroup analyses, revealed favorable outcomes compared with chemotherapy. The findings pertain to patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

Pembrolizumab and cabozantinib showed promising results as first-line treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma, including those who were ineligible for cisplatin.

In patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer unresponsive to BCG who underwent nadofaragene firadenovec (Adstiladrin) treatment, those who achieved urinary minimal residual disease (uMRD)-negative status showed no recurrences.

The FDA has approved erdafitinib for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma with FGFR3 alterations.

Three-year data showed durable clinical activity with nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg in patients with high-risk, BCG-unresponsive non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer with carcinoma in situ with or without papillary tumors.

The gene therapy, nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg, is now fully available across the United States for patients with this aggressive bladder cancer.

In the phase 3 BOND-003 trial, cretostimogene grenadenorepvec led to complete responses in over three-fourths of patients with high-risk BCG-unresponsive non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
