    David A. Braun, MD, PhD, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, explains how a transitional study used advanced genomic techniques, such as single cell approaches, to uncover the causes of resistance to anti-PD1 therapy. Single cell RNA sequencing analysis from various clinical trial samples showed that slightly exhausted T-cells that expressed markers such as SLAMF7, were strongly linked with therapeutic resistance. This finding needs to be corroborated in other studies and requires functional testing, to uncover if this is a biomarker, predictive factor, or a component that can be modulated.

    Shilpa Gupta, MD, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH, talks on the trial design of the Phase III MAIN-CAV trial (NCT05092958) of maintenance cabozantinib and avelumab in patients with metastatic urothelial cancer. Based on the JAVELIN Bladder 100 trial (NCT02603432), maintenance avelumab is considered the standard of care in this setting, but responses remain poor in patients with certain metastases. The MAIN-CAV will assess the addition of cabozantinib in patients pre-treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, and overall survival will be the primary objective.

    Daniel Petrylak, MD, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, comments on the changing field of urothelial cancer, including novel therapies such as enfortumab vedotin and erdafitinib, which have been assessed in the EV-103 trial (NCT03288545) and THOR (NCT03390504) trials, as well as sacituzumab govitecan. Treatment can depend on the FGFR status of patients, where erdafitinib has shown benefit in patients with FGFR alterations. Adverse events can additionally influence which drug a patient will receive. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Annual Congress in Chicago, IL.

    Chung-Han Lee, MD, PhD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, highlights the rationale behind combining lenvatinib and pembrolizumab as a first-line treatment for non-clear cell renal cell carcinomas (RCC) in the Phase II KEYNOTE-B61 (NCT04704219) study. While most clinical trials have focused on clear cell RCC, a significant portion of patients have non-clear cell histologies, which historically have not responded well to existing systemic therapies. The combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab has shown impressive efficacy in clear cell RCC, prompting interest in exploring its potential benefits for non-clear cell histologies as well. The study aims to determine whether this combination therapy can be effective in improving outcomes for patients with non-clear cell RCC, offering a new treatment option for this subgroup of kidney cancer patients.

    Ciara Conduit, FRACP, MBBS, PGCert MEd, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne, Australia, comments on updates from the CLIMATE trial (ACTRN12622000247774), which assessed the clinical utility of miR-371a-3p as a marker of residual disease in testicular cancer following orchiectomy. Having a post-operative biomarker will enable patients who test negative for minimal residual disease (MRD) to be spared treatment. Patients with seminoma and non-seminoma testicular cancer were recruited and the trial is currently ongoing.

    Patrizia Giannatempo, MD, Foundation IRCCS National Cancer Institute, Milan, Italy, highlights the importance of understanding variant histologies in the context of treatment options for urothelial carcinoma, particularly immunotherapy and therapies like cabozantinib in neoadjuvant settings. Variant histologies in urothelial carcinoma often have limited alternatives compared to standard chemotherapy, and cystectomy is typically the first choice. However, emerging data from studies such as the Phase III KEYNOTE-045 (NCT02256436) and Phase II ARCADIA (NCT03824691) trials indicate that the treatment landscape for variant histologies could potentially change in the future. It is crucial to identify which subtypes of variants could benefit from pembrolizumab or the combination of durvalumab and cabozantinib. While the Arcadia trial is still ongoing and requires completion with 120 treated patients, the preliminary results are promising, indicating the need to further explore and understand

    For urology to be truly inclusive in the future, an equity-centred approach to pregnancy is required. Conditions for pregnant women and those caring for a newborn must be optimised to achieve this goal. The European Association of Urology could play a role in addressing the key issues and priorities and set an example for national urological associations.
