Showing 1 - 18Adjuvant Nivolumab in High-Risk Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma
As reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology by Galsky et al, extended follow-up of the phase III CheckMate 274 trial supported the efficacy of adjuvant nivolumab in patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma at high risk of recurrence after radical resection. Study Details In the...
Nivolumab Plus Chemotherapy Extends Survival in Lymph Node–Only Metastatic Urothelial Cancer
The combination of nivolumab plus gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy achieved high response rates and durable responses and improved overall survival and progression-free survival compared with gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy alone in patients with urothelial carcinoma and clinical evidence of...
Overall Survival With Atezolizumab/Chemotherapy vs Chemotherapy Alone in Untreated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma
In a final overall survival analysis of the phase III IMvigor130 trial reported in The Lancet Oncology, Enrique Grande, MD, and colleagues found no significant advantage in overall survival with atezolizumab plus chemotherapy vs chemotherapy alone in the first-line treatment of patients with...
CheckMate 274: Continued Disease-Free Survival Benefits With Adjuvant Nivolumab in High-Risk Urothelial Carcinoma
With longer-term follow-up, adjuvant nivolumab continued to demonstrate improved disease-free survival, non–urothelial tract recurrence–free survival, and distant metastasis–free survival vs placebo in patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma at high risk of recurrence after surgery,...
CheckMate 274: Continued Disease-Free Survival Benefits With Adjuvant Nivolumab in High-Risk Urothelial Carcinoma
With longer-term follow-up, adjuvant nivolumab continued to demonstrate improved disease-free survival, non–urothelial tract recurrence–free survival, and distant metastasis–free survival vs placebo in patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma at high risk of recurrence after surgery,...
Nivolumab After Surgical Resection Improves Disease-Free Survival for Patients With High-Risk Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma
Adjuvant therapy with the immune checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab following surgery improved disease-free survival in patients with high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma, according to new findings presented by Matthew D. Galsky, MD, FASCO, and colleagues at the 2023 ASCO Genitourinary...
First-Line Atezolizumab Plus Platinum-Based Chemotherapy vs Chemotherapy Alone in Advanced Urothelial Cancer
As reported in The Lancet by Matthew D. Galsky, MD, of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Tisch Cancer Institute, New York, and colleagues, the phase III IMvigor130 trial has shown prolonged progression-free survival with first-line atezolizumab plus platinum-based chemotherapy vs...
‘Switch Maintenance’ Pembrolizumab for Metastatic Urothelial Cancer
In a phase II study reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology,1 Matthew D. Galsky, MD, of The Tisch Cancer Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, and colleagues found that maintenance pembrolizumab produced additional responses and improved progression-free survival vs...
First-Line Atezolizumab Plus Platinum-Based Chemotherapy vs Chemotherapy Alone in Advanced Urothelial Cancer
As reported in The Lancet by Matthew D. Galsky, MD, of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Tisch Cancer Institute, New York, and colleagues, the phase III IMvigor130 trial has shown prolonged progression-free survival with first-line atezolizumab plus platinum-based chemotherapy vs...
IMvigor130: First-Line Atezolizumab Plus Chemotherapy vs Chemotherapy Alone in Advanced Urothelial Cancer
As reported in The Lancet by Matthew D. Galsky, MD, of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and colleagues, the phase III IMvigor130 trial has shown prolonged progression-free survival with first-line atezolizumab plus platinum-based chemotherapy vs platinum-based chemotherapy alone in patients ...
'Switch Maintenance' Pembrolizumab for Metastatic Urothelial Cancer
In a phase II study reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Matthew D. Galsky, MD, and colleagues found that maintenance pembrolizumab produced additional responses and improved progression-free survival vs placebo in patients with metastatic urothelial cancer who had at least stable disease...
Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma: A Model Malignancy for Immune Checkpoint Blockade
Platinum-based combination chemotherapy became a mainstay of first-line treatment for metastatic urothelial cancer in the 1980s. With combination platinum-based regimens, 40% to 50% of patients achieve an objective response to treatment. However, aside from approximately 5% to 10% of patients who...
Anti–PD-1 Contenders in Advanced Urothelial Cancer
Immunotherapy with anti–PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1) and anti–PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1) agents continues to advance in metastatic urothelial cancer, with positive showings in two clinical trials presented at the 2016 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress. The...
Expert Point of View: Highlights of Bladder Cancer Research Include Novel Agents and New Approach to Identifying Biomarkers
Although bladder cancer is among the most chemosensitive of the solid tumors, and a large proportion of patients will achieve objective tumor regressions on first-line therapy with conventional chemotherapeutic regimens, response durations are relatively short and outcomes with existing second-line ...
Five Organizations Awarded 2015 International Innovation Grants to Improve Cancer Care in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
The Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO has announced the five recipients of the 2015 International Innovation Grant. This grant supports novel and innovative projects that may improve diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer in low- and middle-income countries. For 2015, the 1-year grants of...
Adjuvant Chemotherapy Favored in Locally Advanced Bladder Cancer Not Treated With Neoadjuvant Therapy
A large observational study presented at the 2015 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium in Orlando, Florida, found that adjuvant chemotherapy extended the likelihood of survival in locally advanced bladder cancer compared with observation alone.1 Using three different approaches to propensity scores...
Poor Geographic Accessibility of Advanced Cancer Clinical Trial Sites
It is estimated that approximately 2% to 7% of U.S. adult patients with cancer participate in clinical trials, and poor geographic accessibility of clinical trial sites contributes to this low participation. In a study reported in JAMA Internal Medicine, Galsky et al found that approximately 40% to ...
Suboptimal Adverse Event Reporting in Cancer Clinical Trial Publications
In a study reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Sivendran et al assessed the degree to which publication of phase III trials in oncology conformed with CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) recommendations for reporting adverse events. They found that adverse event...
