CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of urothelial bladder carcinoma.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appraise the recent FDA approval of pembrolizumab for patients with BCG-unresponsive, high-risk non-muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) who are ineligible for or have elected not to undergo cystectomy, and determine how this agent can be appropriately integrated into clinical care.
  • Recall available clinical trial data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated metastatic UBC, and consider the role of this approach in routine practice.
  • Appraise available research data and ongoing clinical trials evaluating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies alone or in combination with targeted agents for UBC, and counsel appropriately selected patients about participation in research protocols.
  • Consider the mechanism of action of and recent data with enfortumab vedotin for previously treated locally advanced or metastatic UBC, and identify patients for whom treatment with this novel compound would be appropriate.
  • Recognize the FDA approval of erdafitinib for patients with advanced UBC and FGFR genetic alterations whose disease has progressed during or after at least 1 line of platinum-containing chemotherapy, and determine how this agent may be appropriately integrated into clinical practice.
  • Educate patients about the side effects and toxicities associated with approved therapies commonly employed in the management of UBC, and provide preventive strategies to reduce or ameliorate these toxicities.
