Topics to Be Discussed

  • MODULE 1: Current and Future Management of Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer — Prof Powles
  • MODULE 2: Novel Intravesical Therapies Under Evaluation for Nonmetastatic Urothelial Bladder Cancer (UBC) — Prof Necchi
  • MODULE 3: Selection and Sequencing of Therapy for Metastatic UBC — Dr Galsky

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of urothelial bladder cancer (UBC).

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

  • Evaluate the efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and counsel patients about the current role of this treatment strategy.
  • Consider the potential clinical role of circulating tumor DNA assessment to guide treatment decision-making and monitor for recurrence in nonmetastatic UBC.
  • Review available clinical trial evidence with novel intravesical therapies under evaluation for nonmetastatic UBC, and determine the potential utility of these approaches for appropriately selected patients.
  • Appreciate the biological rationale for combining anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies with chemotherapy or other systemic agents with established efficacy in UBC, such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and discuss the current role of these regimens with patients about to begin first-line therapy.
  • Recall pivotal clinical trial findings with novel compounds with unique mechanisms of action for previously treated locally advanced or metastatic UBC, such as ADCs and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and identify patients for whom these approaches would be appropriate.

A CME credit link will be given to each participant as part of the meeting course materials.
