Exploring Emerging Data in NMIBC

Author(s)Félix Guerrero-Ramos, MD, PhD, FEBU , Srikala Sridhar, MD , Jens Bedke, MD

Key Takeaways

BladderGATE trial explores frontline use of PD1+BCG, showing promise in bladder cancer treatment advancements.
Enfortamab vedotin and pembrolizumab combination is under investigation, potentially enhancing therapeutic efficacy.
Clinical complete response is a key endpoint, offering insights into treatment success and patient outcomes.
Circulating tumor DNA is emerging as a non-invasive biomarker, aiding in monitoring treatment response and disease progression.

SHOW MORE

Panelists discuss existing and upcoming data in non–muscle-invasive (NMIBC) bladder cancer treatment, including insights from the BladderGATE trial on frontline use of PD-1 inhibitors combined with BCG and the enfortamab vedotin plus pembrolizumab combination while also addressing the significance of clinical complete response as an end point and the potential role of circulating tumor DNA in future evaluations.
