Topics for Discussion

  • Design, entry criteria and key efficacy and safety findings from the Phase II KEYNOTE-057 trial of pembrolizumab for patients with BCG-unresponsive, high-risk non-muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) who are ineligible for or elected not to undergo cystectomy
  • Recent FDA approval and integration into current care of pembrolizumab for high-risk non-muscle-invasive UBC that is unresponsive to BCG
  • Key findings from trials supporting the FDA approvals of atezolizumab and pembrolizumab as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic UBC (mUBC) who are not eligible for chemotherapy
  • Rationale for and clinical implications of the revision of FDA approvals of atezolizumab and pembrolizumab limiting their use for patients with locally advanced or metastatic UBC who have not received prior therapy, are not eligible for cisplatin-containing treatment and have low expression of PD-L1
  • Results from the Phase III IMvigor130 trial of atezolizumab as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for untreated locally advanced or metastatic UBC; clinical implications
  • Emerging results from the Phase III JAVELIN Bladder 100 study demonstrating improved overall survival for patients receiving first-line maintenance therapy with avelumab
  • Recent FDA breakthrough therapy designation for avelumab as first-line maintenance treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma
  • Patient selection and indications for atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, nivolumab and pembrolizumab for progressive metastatic disease
  • Biologic rationale for targeting nectin-4 in patients with mUBC; structural components and mechanism of antitumor response of enfortumab vedotin
  • Design, eligibility criteria and key findings from the pivotal Phase II EV-201 trial evaluating enfortumab vedotin for patients with locally advanced or metastatic UBC who previously received an immune checkpoint inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapy
  • Recent FDA approval and current clinical role of enfortumab vedotin for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer
  • Ongoing studies evaluating the use of enfortumab vedotin alone (EV-301) or in combination with other systemic therapies, including anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies (EV-103)
  • Spectrum and frequency of FGFR alterations in patients with mUBC
  • Mechanism of action of and available efficacy and safety data supporting the recent FDA approval of erdafitinib for patients with locally advanced or metastatic UBC with susceptible FGFR3 or FGFR2 genetic alterations who have experienced disease progression on or after platinum-containing chemotherapy
  • Appropriate integration of erdafitinib into current management paradigms
  • Incidence and severity of adverse events with enfortumab vedotin and erdafitinib; optimal monitoring and management strategies

Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of bladder cancer.

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

  • Identify available clinical trial data supporting the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of urothelial bladder carcinoma (UBC) to determine the current utility of these agents in clinical practice.
  • Develop an understanding of the recent revisions to the FDA approvals of atezolizumab and pembrolizumab limiting the use of these agents for patients with locally advanced or metastatic UBC who have not received prior therapy, are not eligible for cisplatin-containing treatment and have low expression of PD-L1, to ensure safety and appropriate administration.
  • Review available clinical trial data evaluating the use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated metastatic UBC (mUBC), and consider the potential role of this approach in routine practice.
  • Appraise available research data and ongoing clinical trials evaluating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy, targeted agents or other immunotherapeutic strategies for mUBC, and counsel appropriately selected patients about participation in active research protocols.
  • Describe the frequency of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) abnormalities in patients with mUBC, and recognize the FDA approval of erdafitinib for individuals with advanced UBC and susceptible FGFR3 or FGFR2 genetic alterations whose disease has progressed during or after at least 1 line of platinum-containing chemotherapy.
  • Develop an understanding of the mechanism of action of and pivotal clinical trial findings with enfortumab vedotin for previously treated locally advanced or metastatic UBC, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel compound would be appropriate.
  • Educate patients about the side effects and toxicities associated with approved therapies commonly employed in the management of UBC, and provide preventive strategies to reduce or ameliorate these toxicities.
  • Identify opportunities to enhance the collaborative role of oncology nurses in the comprehensive biopsychosocial care of patients with UBC to optimize clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.
