Topics to Be Discussed

  • Overview of urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) incidence and prognosis, patient signs and symptoms at presentation and diagnostic/staging considerations; key patient- and disease-specific factors affecting disease management
  • Management of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, including the efficacy and side effects of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) intravesical immunotherapy and treatment options for patients unresponsive to BCG
  • Systemic treatments for newly diagnosed metastatic UBC: Mechanism of action, efficacy and immune-related side effects of recently approved immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs); roles of PD-L1 status and eligibility for platinum-containing chemotherapy in patient selection for ICI treatment
  • Balancing benefit and side effects in the selection and sequencing of therapies for patients with metastatic UBC who have experienced relapse after chemotherapy and ICIs
  • Role of molecular testing to identify actionable therapeutic targets (eg, FGFR mutation); efficacy and side effects of available agents (eg, erdafitinib)
  • Newly approved agents: Mechanism of action, efficacy, and incidence, type and management of associated adverse events

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
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.
  • Consider the recent FDA approval of pembrolizumab for patients with BCG-unresponsive, high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer with carcinoma in situ with or without papillary tumors who are ineligible for or have elected not to undergo cystectomy, and effectively identify those appropriate for this novel treatment approach.
  • Evaluate available and emerging data and ongoing research investigating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and discern the current and potential role of these strategies.
  • Review available clinical trial data evaluating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated metastatic UBC, and consider the role of this approach in routine practice.
  • Appraise available research data and ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel treatment approaches with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies, and counsel appropriately selected patients about participation in active protocols.
  • Describe the frequency of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) abnormalities in patients with metastatic UBC, 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 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 in order to optimize clinical and quality-of-life outcomes.
