Patients with first-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer had improvements in radiographic progression-free survival irrespective of homologous recombination repair status when treated with talazoparib and enzalutamide.

The triplet therapy should become the new standard of care for this patient population, according to recent data.

Treating patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with 177Lu-PSMA-617 within 6 months of completing radium showed to be clinically feasible and well tolerated.

Patients treated with darolutamide were less likely to develop disease metastasis or discontinue treatment 6-18 months after treatment initiation compared with enzalutamide or apalutamide.

The phase 2 PERICLES trial of atezolizumab with or without radiotherapy in patients with stage IV cancer did not meet its primary end point of 1-year progression-free survival.

Updated findings from the phase 3 KEYNOTE-564 trial may further support adjuvant pembrolizumab as a new standard of care for patients with renal cell carcinoma with high risk of recurrence.

NeoAvAx trial results show that neoadjuvant avelumab/axitinib may be beneficial to patients with renal cell carcinoma.

Health-related quality of life outcomes was more sustainable in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma on nivolumab plus cabozantinib compared to sunitinib.

A 3-year analysis of updated data from the phase 3 CheckMAte 9ER trial shows the better health-related quality of life outcomes for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma on nivolumab plus cabozantinib.

Three immune cell-related factors appear to impact response or lack of response to treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab in patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

In a final overall survival analysis of CheckMate 9ER, investigators saw a continued survival benefit with first-line nivolumab plus cabozantinib compared with sunitinib in the intention-to-treat patients with untreated clear cell metastatic or advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab demonstrated clinical benefit in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma regardless of their biomarker status.

Patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer ineligible for cisplatin in cohort H of the phase 1b/2 EV-103 trial demonstrated promising antitumor activity when receiving neoadjuvant enfortumab vedotin.

Time to event end points and response rates were similar regardless of which first-line immunotherapy was administered, according to an analysis conducted by the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium

The phase 2 BAYOU study failed to meet its primary end point of improvement in progression-free survival with olaparib plus durvalumab in patients with platinum-ineligible metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

Patients with checkpoint inhibitor–naïve metastatic urothelial cancer had promising anti-tumor activity when treated with sacituzumab govitecan and pembrolizumab in the second-line setting.

New data presented during the Genitourinary Cancers Symposium support the using cabozantinib after immunotherapy without new safety signals.

Tanya Dorff, MD, discusses the current treatment modalities for prostate cancer and the hope that chimeric antigen receptor T cells will improve outcomes.

Mixed results were reported from the phase 2 ARIES clinical trial at the 2022 ASCO GU meeting.

Patients with urothelial cancer whose tumors overexpress c-Met may benefit from this unique combination.

Fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT and sodium fluoride PET/CT and percent change in lesion number may be associated with overall survival in patients with metastatic genitourinary malignancies.

An exploratory analysis of the phase 3 JAVELIN Bladder 100 trial shows that the overall survival benefit of frontline maintenance avelumab is sustained in patients with advanced urothelial cancer.

Results from the combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab show similarity with the comparator in the phase 3 LEAP-011 study.

Cabozantinib administered in the neoadjuvant setting to patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma may be beneficial, but more research is needed to confirm.

Based on pooled long-term data, the safety of darolutamide is solidified in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer.

Tanya Dorff, MD, discusses the introduction of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy into the prostate cancer landscape.

Utilizing 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 imaging, detection rates for prostate cancer recurrence were favorable in the phase 3 SPOTLIGHT study.

In a subgroup analysis of the ARAMIS study, the safety and efficacy of darolutamide were not impacted by patients having comorbidities and receiving concomitant medications.

According to results from the phase 3b PRESIDE trial, use of continuous enzalutamide may extend progression-free survival in men with chemotherapy-naïve metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
