“The key message from this abstract is that the time duration for starting avelumab [Bavencio] maintenance didn't really affect the outcomes,” says Shilpa Gupta, MD.

In this video, Shilpa Gupta, MD, discusses key findings from the study, "Avelumab first-line (1L) maintenance for advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) in the JAVELIN Bladder 100 trial: Subgroup analysis by duration of treatment-free interval (TFI) from end of chemotherapy to start of maintenance,” which was presented at the 2021 ASCO annual meeting. Gupta is the Director of the Genitourinary Medical Oncology at Taussig Cancer Institute and Co-Leader of the Genitourinary Oncology Program at Cleveland Clinic.
