“The addition of the durvalumab did not make treatment more morbid than chemotherapy alone, and it didn't change or increase the surgical complications you saw in the ward," says James W.F. Catto, MBChB, PhD, FRCS.

Additional NIAGARA data reinforce benefit of perioperative durvalumab in MIBC

“These findings reinforce isodose MHFRT as the standard of care, offering the same cancer control as conventional treatment but with fewer side effects than dose-escalated MHFRT,” says Amar U. Kishan, MD.

“Our study identifies that men who were invited for screening, but do not attend screening appointments are at significantly higher risk of dying from prostate cancer compared to men who were not offered screening or accepted an invitation for screening,” says Renée Leenen MD.

Avoidance of prostate cancer screening linked to increased risk of PCSM

Calyxo has identified a new risk of injury when the CVAC System is used in patients with high viscosity fluid in their kidneys at the start of the procedure.

Deep Data Dive: Highlights From ASCO 2024 on the Treatment of High-Risk BCG-Unresponsive NMIBC

Video Series

Impact of BCG Therapy Shortage on the Management of High-Risk NMIBC

Video content above is prompted by the following:

Can you describe the current shortage of bacillus Calmette-Guerin, or BCG, therapy; how has this has impacted your clinical practice and management of high-risk NMIBC?

Videos

Trinity Bivalacqua, MD, PhD, and Mark Tyson, MD, MPH, discuss key conversation points surrounding high-risk BCG-unresponsive NMIBC as presented at ASCO 2024 in Chicago, Illinois.

After briefly introducing themselves, Trinity Bivalacqua, MD, PhD and Mark Tyson, MD, MPH discuss approximately how many newly diagnosed bladder cancer patients have non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, or NMIBC.

Prevalence and Staging of Newly Diagnosed Bladder Cancer

Trinity Bivalacqua, MD, PhD and Mark Tyson, MD, MPH discuss the current shortage of BCG therapy and how that has impacted clinical practice management.

Experts discuss the rate of recurrence following first-line BCG therapy.

Recurrence and BCG Resistance in High-Risk NMIBC

Experts discuss available therapies beyond BCG.

Therapies Beyond BCG: FDA-Approved and Emerging Options

Experts give an overview of the ASCO 2024 data. 

Cretostimogene, Grenadenorepvec, and Pembrolizumab for BCG-Unresponsive NMIBC: Overview of ASCO 2024 Data

Experts discuss the patient quantity and qualifications for the CORE-001 trial.

CORE-001 Trial Participation and Eligibility Criteria

Experts compare Cretostimogene and BCG Administration Methods

Comparing Cretostimogene and BCG Administration Methods

Experts discuss the results of the CORE-001 Trial. 

Results of the CORE-001 Trial: 24-Month Complete Response Rate and Duration of Response

Key opinion leaders examine the comparative safety profiles and response durations of combination therapy versus monotherapy in the treatment of BCG-unresponsive carcinoma in situ with or without papillary disease.

Safety Outcomes and Duration of Response in Combination Therapy vs. Monotherapy for BCG UR CIS +/- Papillary Disease

Panelists discuss how the combination therapy of cretostimogene plus pembrolizumab offers a promising new approach for managing BCG-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, highlighting its potential benefits and the implications of its FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for clinical practice.

Evaluating the Benefits of Cretostimogene Plus Pembrolizumab for BCG-Unresponsive NMIBC Management

Panelists discuss whether the trial results support investigating cretostimogene with other checkpoint inhibitors and provide insights into notable ongoing trials exploring cretostimogene for intermediate- or high-risk NMIBC, such as BOND-003 and PIVOT-006.

Evaluating Cretostimogene: BOND-003 and PIVOT-006 Trial Results

Panelists discuss their views on using cretostimogene as monotherapy versus combination therapy, the importance for urologists to stay updated on advances for managing BCG-unresponsive NMIBC, and the potential impact of combining cretostimogene with pembrolizumab on addressing unmet needs in NMIBC care.
