PROGRAM OVERVIEW

In advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) a heavily cytotoxic “sledgehammer” approach has traditionally been used. Platinum-based chemotherapy is still the preferred first-line approach. But this non-specific cytotoxic treatment is often intolerable for the typically older UC patient. Until recently, there were no second-line options beyond the chemotherapeutic sledgehammer. Today, treatments with more selective mechanisms of action take advantage of fresh translational insights into UC. Five immune checkpoint inhibitors were approved between 2016 and 2017 for first- or second-line intervention and two therapies with completely different mechanisms — a fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitor and an antibody drug conjugate — were granted accelerated approval for metastatic UC in 2019.

These novel therapeutics offer more efficient targeting for patients who have run out of options. But for clinicians, the introduction of these agents complicate an already complex condition. This activity will guide them in selecting and using these options.
