Amol Akhade: Landscape for urothelial carcinoma treatment is rapidly evolving
Amol Akhade shared on X:
“The landscape for urothelial carcinoma treatment is rapidly evolving. Now we have a first positive trial with Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant IO to improve EFS and OS in muscle invasive bladder cancer.
NIAGARA trial for Durvalumab. Remember Ambassador trial ( adjuvant Pembrolizumab did not show OS ) Adjuvant Nivolumab did show OS benefit ( checkmate 274 ) Other IO are being tested in both neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Setting.
It will be interesting to see how much additional benefit such neo adjuvant IO gives? What will be treatment on progression for these patients? Interesting to see full data.”
