TLDR
The randomized Phase III KEYNOTE-866 and KeyNOTE-905/EV-303 studies are being conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety of perioperative pembrolizumab or placebo with chemotherapy in cisplatin-ineligible patients with MIBC as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is associated with high rates of recurrence and poor prognosis despite aggressive treatment. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy before radical cystectomy (RC) improves outcomes in cisplatin-eligible patients; however, the improvement in overall survival is modest. Standard of care for cisplatin-ineligible patients remains RC; more effective systemic therapies are needed. Recent Phase Ib/II studies suggest pembrolizumab monotherapy and combination therapy are effective neoadjuvant therapies for MIBC. The randomized Phase III KEYNOTE-866 and KEYNOTE-905/EV-303 studies are being conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety of perioperative pembrolizumab or placebo with chemotherapy in cisplatin-eligible patients with MIBC (KEYNOTE-866) and of pembrolizumab monotherapy versus pembrolizumab plus enfortumab vedotin versus RC plus pelvic lymph node dissection alone in cisplatin-ineligible patients with MIBC (KEYNOTE-905/EV-303). Clinical trial registration: NCT03924856 & NCT03924895 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Urinary Tract Tumor Organoids Reveal Eminent Differences in Drug Sensitivities When Compared to 2-Dimensional Culture Systems

TL;DR: It is concluded that organoids maintained inter-individual sensitivities towards venetoclax, S63845, and cisplatin, and it is also reported that two-dimensional cultures were more sensitive at low drug concentrations, while organoids yielded higher drug efficacies at higher doses, and colorimetric assays yielded different IC50 toxicity levels when compared to chemiluminescence assays.

Expressions of PD-L1 and Nectin-4 in urothelial cancer patients treated with pembrolizumab.

TL;DR: In this article, the association between immunohistochemical biomarkers and clinical outcomes in urothelial cancer patients treated with pembrolizumab was explored and the associations between protein expressions and overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and disease control rate (DCR) were statistically analyzed.

Systemic, perioperative management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer and future horizons

TL;DR: Trial results have demonstrated the unprecedented ability of immune- checkpoint blockade to induce durable remissions in patients with metastatic disease that has progressed after chemotherapy; studies are now urgently needed to determine how best to incorporate this powerful therapeutic modality into the care of patients with MIBC.
