Agenda

Program Schedule — Pacific Time
6:45 PM – 7:00 PM — Registration
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM — Educational Dinner Meeting

MODULE 1: Role of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) in Front-Line Therapy for Metastatic Urothelial Bladder Cancer (mUBC) — Dr Friedlander

  • Long-term outcomes with historical up-front treatment approaches for patients with mUBC
  • Biological rationale for the evaluation of ADCs in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors for previously untreated mUBC
  • Key results from cohort K of the EV-103/KEYNOTE-869 study of enfortumab vedotin (EV) alone and in combination with pembrolizumab for treatment-naïve, cisplatin-ineligible patients with mUBC
  • Published efficacy and safety data from the Phase III EV-302/KEYNOTE-A39 study comparing EV/pembrolizumab to chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated mUBC who were eligible for cisplatin- or carboplatin-containing chemotherapy
  • Recent FDA approval of EV/pembrolizumab as front-line therapy for mUBC regardless of cisplatin eligibility; optimal integration into practice
  • Incidence of treatment-related adverse events of special interest, such as skin reactions, peripheral neuropathy, ocular disorders and hyperglycemia, observed with combined EV and pembrolizumab in the up-front setting; appropriate monitoring and management strategies

MODULE 2: Evidence-Based Use of ADCs for Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) mUBC — Dr Galsky

  • Key factors in selecting and sequencing available therapies for patients with progressive mUBC
  • Long-term outcomes from the Phase III EV-301 study evaluating EV versus chemotherapy for patients with previously treated advanced UBC
  • Optimal integration of EV into current management algorithms for R/R mUBC
  • Frequency of HER2 expression in mUBC; optimal timing of and approach to testing
  • Outcomes observed with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in the cohort of patients with mUBC in the Phase II DESTINY-PanTumor02 trial
  • Recent FDA approval of T-DXd for pretreated HER2-positive solid tumors; implications for mUBC management
  • Mechanism of action and structural components of the HER2-targeted ADC disitamab vedotin
  • Available efficacy and safety data with disitamab vedotin alone and in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for HER2-positive mUBC
  • FDA breakthrough therapy designation for disitamab vedotin for platinum-pretreated HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic UBC; potential clinical role

MODULE 3: Evolving Role of Treatment Intensification with Androgen Receptor (AR) Pathway Inhibitors for Nonmetastatic and Metastatic Prostate Cancer — Dr Armstrong

  • Rationale for the evaluation of treatment intensification with AR pathway inhibitors combined with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for patients with nonmetastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (nmHSPC)
  • Major efficacy and safety findings from the Phase III EMBARK trial evaluating enzalutamide and leuprolide versus enzalutamide or leuprolide alone for patients with nmHSPC and high-risk biochemical recurrence after definitive therapy
  • FDA approval and optimal application in clinical practice of enzalutamide with and without ADT
  • Clinical, biological and practical factors guiding the selection of therapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC)
  • Extended follow-up with abiraterone, enzalutamide and apalutamide in combination with ADT for patients with mHSPC; appropriate integration of these therapies into practice
  • Published outcomes from the Phase III ARANOTE study evaluating the addition of darolutamide to ADT for patients with mHSPC; clinical implications
  • Key efficacy and safety data from the Phase III ARASENS trial evaluating darolutamide in combination with docetaxel and ADT for mHSPC; selection of optimal candidates for triplet therapy

MODULE 4: Optimal Integration of PARP Inhibitors into Therapy for Prostate Cancer — Dr Agarwal

  • Biological rationale for combining PARP inhibitors with AR pathway inhibitors in therapy for prostate cancer
  • Similarities and differences in the designs and eligibility criteria of the Phase III PROpel, MAGNITUDE and TALAPRO-2 trials combining olaparib and abiraterone, niraparib and abiraterone and talazoparib and enzalutamide, respectively, in the first-line setting for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)
  • Key efficacy and safety findings from PROpel, MAGNITUDE and TALAPRO-2 in patients with and without BRCA and other homologous recombination repair gene mutations; emerging overall survival data from TALAPRO-2
  • FDA approvals of olaparib/abiraterone, niraparib/abiraterone and talazoparib/enzalutamide for patients with mCRPC; individualized selection among these approaches
  • Published results from the Phase II BRCAAway trial comparing abiraterone, olaparib and the combination for patients with mCRPC with DNA repair defects; implications for clinical practice
  • Ongoing Phase III studies, including AMPLITUDE and TALAPRO-3, evaluating PARP inhibitors in combination with secondary hormonal therapy in earlier settings

CE Information

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of bladder and prostate cancers.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Recognize the incidence of nectin-4 expression in urothelial bladder cancer (UBC), and appreciate the scientific justification for the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting this novel biomarker.
  • Interrogate published efficacy and safety findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with ADC therapy as first-line treatment for metastatic UBC, and consider the current role of this strategy.
  • Review available research findings with HER2-directed ADCs for patients with advanced UBC, and optimally integrate these novel agents into management algorithms.
  • Appraise published research on the optimal management of biochemical recurrence after local treatment for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about the potential benefits of FDA-approved systemic treatment options.
  • Explore available data with treatment intensification with cytotoxic therapy, secondary hormonal therapy or combinations of these approaches for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and effectively integrate these strategies into clinical management algorithms.
  • Assess the available research database supporting the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer harboring a homologous recombination repair gene alteration, and discern the current role of this treatment approach.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel ADCs for advanced UBC or hormonal therapy-based approaches for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
