ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium

The FDA did not expand the indication to include patients with non–homologous recombination repair gene mutated castration-resistant prostate cancer.

SBRT did not significantly impact response when added to nivolumab/ipilimumab for patients with mCRPC.

“The single most practice-impacting abstract might be the [phase 3 NIAGARA trial] follow-up,” Guru P. Sonpavde, MD, said, regarding results shared at 2025 ASCO GU.

Funda Meric-Bernstam, MD, spoke about the TROPION-PanTumor01 trial results and the TROP2 targeting nature of dato-DXd in patients with heavily pretreated, metastatic urothelial cancer.

Additional results from the phase 3 NIAGARA trial showed improved event-free survival and overall survival with durvalumab/gemcitabine/cisplatin in MIBC.

Outcomes observed in the phase 3 EV-302 trial are “transformative” for most patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

There were no new safety signals with cemiplimab plus chemotherapy in the phase 2 EPIC-A trial, Challapalli stated.

Other ongoing urothelial cancer trials are assessing enfortumab vedotin–based combinations in the neoadjuvant setting.

Given resource scarcity, developing practice strategies for resource-constrained settings would require aid from commercial and government stakeholders.

Thomas Powles, MBBS, MRCP, MD, highlighted fatigue, nausea, and peripheral neuropathy as toxicities observed with enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab.

Data presented at 2025 ASCO GU reinforce the use of agents like nivolumab, cabozantinib, and darolutamide across different genitourinary malignancies.

Large international meetings may facilitate conversations regarding disparities of care outside of high-income countries.

Updated findings from the phase 3 EV-302 trial show enduring responses and survival improvements with enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab.

Data show improvements in overall survival and time to subsequent therapy initiation with darolutamide plus ADT/docetaxel.

Olaparib plus abiraterone improved radiographic PFS and overall survival in mCRPC patients with germline or somatic BRCA mutations vs placebo plus abiraterone.

A team from the University of Munich analyzed HRQOL outcomes in rural/urban patients with bladder cancer and after ADT treatment and postoperative radiotherapy in prostate cancer.

The TiNivo-2 trial found comparable PROs with tivozanib plus nivolumab vs tivozanib monotherapy in advanced clear cell RCC.

The phase 2 EPIC trial assessing patients with penile carcinoma met its primary end point of clinical benefit rate, with the lower bound of the confidence interval exceeding the null hypothesis limit.

Data from the ENVISION and ATLAS trials demonstrated clinically meaningful responses with UGN-102 in the treatment of low-grade, intermediate-risk NMIBC.

Efficacy results remained consistent with previous reports in the cabozantinib, nivolumab, and ipilimumab arm for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Nivolumab plus cabozantinib yielded a median PFS of 16.4 months compared with 8.3 months from sunitinib alone in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced RCC.

Greater responses were observed in a cohort of patients with renal cell carcinoma receiving lenvatinib plus belzutifan vs pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib.

Investigators of a phase 2 study will continue to assess long-term efficacy and quality-of-life outcomes in those who receive lenvatinib/pembrolizumab.

Data from the EV-302 trial support enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab as a new standard of care in frontline urothelial cancer.

The safety profile of dato-DXd in the phase 1 TROPION-PanTumor01 trial is comparable with prior reports of the agent.

Avelumab maintenance demonstrated improved survival outcomes in advanced urothelial carcinoma, including patients with diabetes, in the JAVELIN Bladder 100 study.

New data from a small retrospective analysis showed activity with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab in UTUC lesions.

Patients with neuropathy experienced a longer PFS with enfortumab vedotin vs those without neuropathy, skin rash, or hyperglycemia.

Data from CheckMate-274 support adjuvant nivolumab as a standard of care in high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma.

Investigators assessed the long-term outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus chemoradiation in those with non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
