Michiel S. Van Der Heijden, MD, PhD, of the Netherlands Cancer Institute, discusses phase III results from the global EV-302 study, showing that enfortumab vedotin-ejfv plus pembrolizumab improves outcomes in patients with previously untreated locally advanced metastatic urothelial carcinoma compared with chemotherapy. Overall survival benefit was observed across select prespecified subgroups. According to Dr. Van Der Heijden, this immunotherapy combination is a potential new standard of care for first-line locally advanced metastatic urothelial carcinoma (Abstract LBA530).
