The FDA approved the use of durvalumab combined with enfortumab vedotin as a perioperative treatment followed by adjuvant durvalumab for adult muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients who are ineligible for or refuse cisplatin chemotherapy. This approval is based on the phase 3 VOLGA trial that demonstrated significant improvements in event-free and overall survival compared to surgery alone.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech, and 6 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The new FDA approval creates a market opening for you if you provide cancer therapies or diagnostics targeting cisplatin-ineligible bladder cancer patients. Watch for opportunities to integrate perioperative immunotherapy into treatment pathways since standard surgery alone is now a weaker option.
