Dr. Garmezy on the evolving treatment paradigm for progressive urothelial malignancies

The approval is supported by findings of the ongoing QUILT-3.032 trial, assessing nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (N-803) plus BCG in patients with BCG-unresponsive non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

In this episode, Ashish M. Kamat, MD, MBBS, highlights the state of bladder cancer care in recognition of Bladder Cancer Awareness Month.

The IND will initiate the launch of a phase 3 study to explore the safety and efficacy of UGN-103 in patients with low-grade, intermediate-risk NMIBC.

“It's not a replacement for clinical judgment, obviously. But at the end of the day, the idea is that it shows you what your next steps are based on what the American Urological Association and [Society of Urologic Oncology] guidelines are for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer,” Chad R. Ritch, MD, MBA, FACS.

Overall survival was 100% at 12 months and 98% at 18 months among patients with MIBC who remained ctDNA-negative on serial monitoring.

"In this follow-up analysis of the phase 3 study, we demonstrated a sustained response to Adstiladrin treatment over 3 years, allowing more than half of the patients in the study to remain cystectomy free for at least 36 months,” says Colin P.N. Dinney, MD.
