Tom Powles, Head of Solid Tumor Research at Barts Cancer Institute, shared a post on X:
“Perioperative EV +pembo vs cystectomy (KN905) in MIBC shows great OS and pCR >50%.
Quality of life data can be difficult to interpret due to multiple tools and different time points for analysis. Results did not show differences in the 2 arms at week 18 time point. Cystectomy had a more dramatic effect on QOL rather than EVP, but EVP will have both short term and long term side effects.
While the methods used here are standard and well presented it feels there maybe a better way of assessing QOL.”
