Platinum-based chemotherapy is standard of care for first-line (1L) treatment of advanced metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). However, despite objective response in 40% - 50% and disease control in 75% - 80%, response is not durable, and most patients will have disease proression within ~9 months. Maintenance therapy can reinforce and sustain the favorable clinical state achieved with chemotherapy, and can be a continuation of an agent as part of the combination induction regimen or as sequential treatment with new agents.
The first episode of this CMEOCast podcast series on practice-changing treatment advances in mUC focuses on examining current 1L treatment options, including maintenance therapy to optimize patient outcomes in mUC.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Examine current 1L treatment options, including maintenance therapy, for mUC and integrate as appropriate into practice.
The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
- Describe current 1L treatment options, including maintenance therapy, for mUC used in clinical practice.
