Max Kates: KEYNOTE-866 and ENERGIZE Raise Questions About Perioperative Immunotherapy in MIBC

Max Kates, Co Director, Greenberg Bladder Cancer Institute at Johns Hopkins Medicine, shared on X:

“Neoadjuvant MIBC Trials: KEYNOTE-866 (pembro) and ENERGIZE (nivo)negative.

NIAGARA (durva) stands alone. Adjuvant is split too. ICI benefit in MIBC is real but marginal, and likely lives in a subset we have yet to identify.

Utilit of chemo+IO less clear in EVP era.”
