Perioperative Durvalumab-Enfortumab Vedotin Improves Survival in Bladder Cancer
This phase 3 trial compared perioperative durvalumab, with or without tremelimumab, plus neoadjuvant enfortumab vedotin against radical cystectomy alone in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer ineligible for or declining cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The trial reported significantly improved event-free survival in both durvalumab-containing groups versus surgery alone, and significantly better overall survival with durvalumab-enfortumab vedotin versus control. Grade 3 or higher adverse events of any cause occurred in more than half of patients in both durvalumab groups, compared with 50.2% in the control group.
Most relevant for: Patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are ineligible for or decline cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
