Background: The JAVELIN Bladder 100 trial demonstrated improved overall survival (OS) with maintenance avelumab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma UC (la/mUC) who achieved disease control following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy (1 L-PBC). However, real-world data on eligibility, utilization, and outcomes of maintenance avelumab therapy remain limited.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients with la/mUC who received 1 L-PBC.

This study evaluated pemetrexed as switch maintenance therapy versus observation in aUC patients without disease progression after initial chemotherapy.

Article Synopsis
  • Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis is a rare metastatic pattern in genitourinary cancer, found in less than 0.1% of cases, and can occur even after initial treatments with enfortumab vedotin (EV).
  • Two cases of metastatic urothelial cancer are presented: both patients initially showed positive responses to EV but later developed severe neurologic symptoms due to leptomeningeal metastases confirmed through imaging and cytology.
  • The cases highlight an unusual progression pattern among patients treated with EV, suggesting the need for further investigation into this type of cancer spread.
