Tom is joined by Sam Chang, Sia Daneshmand, and Petros Grivas to discuss new therapies in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, including those for BCG-refractory NMIBC and the cretostimogene + pembrolizumab combo for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. Recorded live at Uromigos Live & Unplugged 2023 in Nashville, TN.
About 70% to 80% of bladder cancers present as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The management of NMIBC includes transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), followed by single-dose intravesical immunotherapy with bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) or intravesical chemotherapy (mitomycin C, epirubicin, or doxorubicin). The decision to instill BCG and/or chemotherapy is based on the risk of cancer progression or recurrence.For practicing oncologists, it is crucial to address Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding NMIBC such as how to define individual risk groups and treatment recommendations for each group, how to identify BCG refractoriness and relapse in clinical practice, and how to manage patients who are BCG refractory. Let's watch the recorded video on 'Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for NMIBC' to gain comprehensive insights from leading experts – Dr. Francisco X. Real from National Cancer Research Center of Spain and Dr. Félix Guerrero Ramos from Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid, Spain.

In this activity, based on a recent live symposium, experts use real-world cases and mini lectures to illustrate practical tips and treatment selection strategies for patients with MIBC or NMIBC (non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer), including clinical trial opportunities, bladder-preservation options, and perioperative regimens. This activity also examines approaches for personalized care in metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC), both in the frontline setting and in progressive disease. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Assess new evidence on therapeutic strategies for bladder cancer management across the disease continuum based on innovative drug delivery approaches, modern immunotherapy regimens, and novel targeted agents; Implement novel and emerging therapeutic approaches into personalized treatment plans for patients with varying stages of bladder cancer considering the available evidence, current guidelines, and principles of multidisciplinary and patient-centered care; and Integrate evidence- and team-based management protocols to address the unique suite of adverse events associated with novel therapeutics for bladder cancer

The therapeutic landscape of bladder cancer has undergone a significant transformation with the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors to the treatment armamentarium. With a key role in the treatment and maintenance of recurrent disease, as well as in first-line maintenance of newly diagnosed disease, the research on actionable targets in bladder cancer has led to regulatory approval of the FGFR-targeted therapy erdafitinib for FGFR mutation-positive bladder tumors, and antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs). Additional advances have occurred in the localized disease setting such as novel bladder-sparing and perioperative approaches, as well as the first regulatory approval of adjuvant immunotherapy in high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer. In light of these developments, the challenge for urology professionals is how to best blend the diverse clinical evidence for these agents with the realities of real-world cancer care. Further, important combination approaches expand the therapeutic capacity available to patients with bladder cancer. This CME-certified activity will highlight strategies for optimal care for managing patients with bladder cancer in light of current evidence and guidance on safely integrating these agents into treatment plans. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Identify patients with early-stage bladder cancer who could potentially benefit from the use of novel therapeutic strategies in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings (ie, NMIBC and MIBC) based on recent approvals, clinical evidence, and ongoing trials; Integrate therapeutic strategies into management protocols for eligible patients with metastatic bladder cancer based on regulatory status and treatment roles of emerging therapeutic classes (ie, immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapies, and antibody–drug conjugates), including in the context of clinical trials; Develop appropriate strategies to mitigate and manage the unique adverse events associated with the variety of novel and emerging therapeutic classes for the management of bladder cancer.

Better Edge : A Northwestern Medicine podcast for physicians
Erdafitinib (balversa), an oral pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1-4 inhibitor, is being used in one of the first biomarker-directed trials of high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The Thor-2 trial (NCT04172675) targets tumors with driver mutations in the FGFR3 gene. This gene is altered in 40% to 70% of early-stage bladder cancers and may be a rare driver mutation in bladder cancer. If successful, Erdafitinib would the first precision therapy for early stage bladder cancer. In this podcast episode, lead investigator Joshua J. Meeks, MD, PhD, the Edward M. Schaeffer, MD, PhD Professor of Urology and associate professor of Urology and of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at Northwestern Medicine, explains the Thor-2 trial and how it could be a new paradigm in bladder oncology. Disclosure Statement:Joshua J. Meeks, MD, PhD has received consulting-related fees from Janssen.

This PeerView activity, developed in collaboration with the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network, will guide learners through the modern realities of managing bladder cancer across disease and treatment settings. Realistic and diverse patient cases will be directly linked to mini lectures in which bladder cancer experts will interpret clinically meaningful evidence on current and emerging therapeutic options and offer guidance on the clinical integration of these therapies into personalized management plans. Prepare to apply practical lessons stemming from the evidence related to novel systemic therapies, their applications in metastatic bladder cancer, and their emerging uses in locally advanced, resectable, or non–muscle-invasive disease. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Implement guideline-concordant genetic and molecular assessment as part of the routine management of patients with bladder cancer while considering the current therapeutic roles and mechanistic rationales of novel systemic therapies across bladder cancer settings and patient populations (eg, localized or metastatic), Select patients with early-stage bladder cancer who are eligible for recently approved and emerging therapeutic strategies in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings (eg, NMIBC and MIBC) based on recent approvals, clinical evidence, and ongoing trials, Develop personalized, evidence-based treatment plans for patients with advanced/metastatic bladder cancer that incorporate new agents and combinations (including in the context of a clinical trial), expert recommendations, genetic/molecular status, and principles of shared decision-making and multidisciplinary collaboration, Employ strategies to facilitate early recognition, reporting, and appropriate management of toxicities associated with newer systemic therapy options for bladder cancer in collaboration with the broader care team, patients, and caregivers.
