Monika Joshi, MD, of Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute, discusses phase II results from the DUART study, which explored the efficacy of concurrent durvalumab, a checkpoint inhibitor, and radiation therapy followed by adjuvant durvalumab in patients with localized urothelial cancer of the bladder (Abstract 398).
Elizabeth R. Plimack, MD, of Fox Chase Cancer Center, discusses phase III results from the KEYNOTE-426 study—specifically, an exploratory subgroup analysis of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who were randomly assigned to receive pembrolizumab plus axitinib and completed 2 years of treatment (Abstract 327).
Thomas Powles, MD, PhD, of Cancer Research UK Barts Centre, discusses phase III results from the EV-301 trial, which showed that enfortumab vedotin is the first therapy to demonstrate a significant survival advantage over standard chemotherapy in patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (Abstract 393).
Elizabeth R. Plimack, MD, of Fox Chase Cancer Center, discusses key abstracts discussed at this year’s meeting on bladder cancer and offers her views on the latest trends and findings (Abstracts 391, 393, 434).
Neeraj Agarwal, MD, of Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, discusses final results of the phase III TITAN study, which showed apalutamide plus androgen-deprivation therapy improved overall survival, reducing the risk of death up to 48%. This combination treatment also delayed castration resistance and maintained health-related quality of life for patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (Abstract 11).
Elizabeth R. Plimack, MD, of Fox Chase Cancer Center, discusses key abstracts discussed at this year’s meeting on renal cell carcinoma and offers her views on the latest trends and findings (Abstracts 269, 308, 270, 313).
