Why is there a difference in the pCR from NIAGARA at #ASCOGU25 Matt Galsky & #AUA25 Joshua Meeks (37% vs 42% for chemo/durva)? The 37% includes all ITT patients while the 42% only has surgery pts. Variability in pCR reporting is widespread making cross trial comparison hazardous.⚠️

Thrilled to share our new analysis from CheckMate 901! 🟡In N+ only metastatic UC, Nivolumab + chemo doubled complete response rate vs chemo alone (63% vs 34%) and prolonged PFS (HR 0.38) and OS (HR 0.58). ➡️A new horizon for a distinct subgroup. European Urology OncoAlert

Matt Galsky discusses the ctDNA data from NIAGARA presented at #ASCO25. ctDNA positivity is distinct from path CR and ctDNA positive patients do poorly creators.spotify.com/pod/show/the-u…

Important academic study in context of BCG shortage. No definitive benefit for adding mitomycin but ?decreased progression and benefit in patients at highest risk (2 endpoints/subsets). #MedIQASCO25 #ASCO25 #bladdercancer Congrats ANZUP

Our contemporary "negative" RCTs in metastatic UC are just not the same as our "negative" RCTs of the past. Granted a small subset -- but this is durable disease free survival OFF treatment after Ipi + Nivo #CM901. #MedIQASCO25 #ASCO25 #bladdercancer.

Congrats Dr. Bishoy M. Faltas for the CLONEVO study presentation showing us the ctDNA can help distinguish "contribution of components" in WOO studies in MIBC. Another piece of elegant work from his group. #MedIQASCO25 #ASCO25 #bladdercancer

Trying to reconcile the ctDNA detection rates post-RC from NIAGARA versus IMvigor 010 and other datasets...remember IMvigor 010 only included patients with high risk path features (whereas post RC data in NIAGARA includes all ≥ypT0N0). #MedIQASCO25 #ASCO25 #bladdercancer.
