Dr. Sophia Kamran discusses bladder-preservation therapy

"It is erdafitinib’s time to shine," says Arlene O. Siefker-Radtke, MD.

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

“The ADVANCED-2 trial in NMIBC is an exciting opportunity to build on the favorable anti-tumor and safety data of TARA-002 presented earlier this year," says Gautam Jayram, MD.

“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.

The first patient with NMIBC has been dosed with nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg as part of the Adstiladrin Early Experience Program.

BT8009 targets the tumor antigen Nectin-4, which has elevated expression levels in urothelial cancer.
