MODULE 1: Available Data with and Ongoing Investigation of Novel Agents and Strategies for Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) — Dr Kamat

  • Historical management approaches for patients with BCG-unresponsive or refractory NMIBC
  • Efficacy and safety findings after extended follow-up from the KEYNOTE-057 trial supporting the FDA approval of pembrolizumab monotherapy for high-risk NMIBC unresponsive or refractory to BCG therapy; selection of patients for pembrolizumab therapy
  • Biologic rationale for the investigation of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with BCG for NMIBC; ongoing Phase III trials evaluating this approach (eg, ALBAN, POTOMAC, KEYNOTE-676, CheckMate 7G8)
  • Ongoing and planned studies evaluating other novel approaches (eg, enfortumab vedotin, erdafitinib, TAR-200) for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC

MODULE 2: Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC) — Dr Williams

  • Clinical and biologic factors that confer a high risk of recurrence in patients with MIBC; historical role of adjuvant therapy
  • Design, eligibility criteria and key efficacy and safety data from the Phase III CheckMate 274 trial comparing nivolumab to placebo after radical surgery for high-risk MIBC
  • Recent FDA approval of adjuvant nivolumab and identification of appropriate candidates for treatment
  • Rates of pathologic complete response and other clinically relevant endpoints achieved in early trials evaluating neoadjuvant anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy for resectable MIBC
  • Ongoing research on the feasibility of combining anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies with other systemic options (eg, chemotherapy, other immunotherapy) in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings
  • Available clinical data with the novel intravesicle drug delivery system TAR-200 for MIBC; ongoing clinical trial evaluation of TAR-200 in combination with the anti-PD-1 antibody cetrelimab for MIBC
  • Results from cohort H of the EV-103 study evaluating neoadjuvant treatment with enfortumab vedotin monotherapy in cisplatin-ineligible patients with MIBC

MODULE 3: Current and Future Front-Line Management of Metastatic Urothelial Bladder Carcinoma (mUBC) — Dr Galsky

  • Current role of atezolizumab and pembrolizumab as first-line treatment for mUBC; importance of chemotherapy eligibility and PD-L1 status in selecting patients for this strategy
  • Key efficacy and safety data with maintenance avelumab after front-line chemotherapy for mUBC; appropriate incorporation into patient care
  • Biologic rationale for and available data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies combined with anti-CTLA-4 antibodies for previously untreated mUBC
  • Ongoing Phase III trials (eg, CheckMate 901, NILE) evaluating dual checkpoint inhibitor therapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy
  • Findings from the Phase II EV-103 study evaluating first-line pembrolizumab in combination with enfortumab vedotin for mUBC; ongoing Phase III evaluation and potential clinical role
  • Preliminary data from the Phase I/II NORSE study of erdafitinib in combination with cetrelimab for patients with previously untreated mUBC with FGFR3 or FGFR2 genetic alterations who are not eligible for cisplatin

MODULE 4: Selection and Sequencing of Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory mUBC — Dr Pal

  • Key efficacy and safety findings with enfortumab vedotin for progressive mUBC (eg, EV-301 trial, EV-201 cohort 2)
  • Principal efficacy and safety findings from the Phase II TROPHY U-01 trial leading to the recent FDA approval of sacituzumab govitecan for progressive mUBC
  • Results from cohort 3 of the TROPHY U-01 trial combining sacituzumab govitecan and pembrolizumab
  • Published efficacy and safety data with erdafitinib for patients with mUBC and susceptible FGFR3 or FGFR2 genetic alterations
  • Optimal integration of enfortumab vedotin, sacituzumab govitecan and erdafitinib into therapy for progressive mUBC
  • Incidence, severity and management of adverse events reported with enfortumab vedotin, sacituzumab govitecan and erdafitinib
  • Frequency of HER2 expression in UBC; mechanism of action of disitamab vedotin and available data and ongoing evaluation for patients with HER2-positive disease
  • Other promising agents and strategies under investigation for mUBC (eg, trastuzumab deruxtecan, futibatinib, infigratinib, cabozantinib)

Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of bladder cancer.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Consider data supporting the use of anti-PD-1 antibody therapy for high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) that is unresponsive to BCG, and determine how this strategy can be appropriately integrated into patient care.
  • Evaluate the recent FDA approval of adjuvant anti-PD-1 antibody therapy for patients with high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), and understand the current role of this strategy.
  • Recognize how biologic and patient-specific factors influence the selection and sequencing of treatment for metastatic urothelial bladder carcinoma (UBC).
  • Review available clinical trial evidence with immune checkpoint inhibitors as monotherapy or as maintenance after platinum-based chemotherapy for newly diagnosed metastatic UBC, and recognize the utility of these agents in practice.
  • Recall pivotal trial findings leading to the FDA approval of novel compounds with unique mechanisms of action for previously treated locally advanced or metastatic UBC, and discuss with patients why these agents would be appropriate.
  • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with recently approved and emerging systemic therapies for advanced or metastatic UBC.
  • Develop an understanding of the biologic rationale for, research findings with and ongoing studies evaluating promising agents and strategies for NMIBC, MIBC and metastatic UBC.

CME Credit Form
A CME credit form will be given to each participant at the conclusion of the activity.
