Background: FGFR2/3, MTAP and ERBB2 genomic alterations have treatment targets in advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC). These alterations may affect tumor microenvironment and outcomes with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in aUC.
Patients And Methods: We identified patients with available genomic data in our multi-institution cohort of patients with aUC treated with ICI.
Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is used as monotherapy or combined with pembrolizumab in advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC), but biomarker data associated with EV outcomes are limited. We identified 170 patients in the UNITE study who received EV monotherapy and had molecular biomarker data available. Outcomes for groups with and without a particular biomarker were compared using logistic regression (unadjusted) for the objective response rate (ORR), and a log-rank test and Cox proportional-hazard models (CPHMs) for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from EV initiation.

- - Patients with advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma who previously responded to or maintained stable disease with pembrolizumab immunotherapy may benefit from retreatment after disease progression, based on a post hoc analysis involving 49 patients from earlier clinical trials.
- - The study found that 41% of these patients achieved an objective response following retreatment, with a notable percentage having had a complete response during the initial treatment, and the median duration of the response was around 14 months.
- - Additionally, the retreatment led to manageable adverse effects, with only 45% experiencing treatment-related events, indicating that pembrolizumab retreatment is a viable and relatively safe option for select patients.
Introduction: Consultation audio recordings improve patient decision-making but are underutilized. Patient-administered recording apps on mobile devices may increase access, but implementation has not been evaluated.
Methods: We conducted a single-arm study delivering education, coaching, and reminders for patients to record their appointment using a mobile recording app.
