    Purpose: Our investigation assessed the impact of geographical disparities in the treatment of patients with advanced urothelial cancer (aUC) included in the international, real-world ARON-2 trial. Patients and Methods: The study population comprised 1,137 patients with aUC treated with pembrolizumab for relapsed or progressive disease after platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) at 63 institutions in 19 countries. Patients were divided into three geographical areas: Europe (area 1: 791 patients), the United States (area 2: 156 patients), and Asia (area 3: 190 patients). Clinicopathologic and treatment data were extracted from medical records. The primary end points were to identify differences in patient and treatment characteristics and to assess overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between the three areas. Results: There were differences in patient characteristics: more patients age 70 years and older in area 1; more patients with BMI ≥25 kg/m2, squamous histotype, and T1 neoplasia at diagnosis in area 2; and more pure urothelial carcinoma in area 3. There were differences in treatment characteristics: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillations and primary tumor surgery were more common in area 1; neoadjuvant and adjuvant PBC, third-line therapies, and specifically enfortumab vedotin (EV) were less common in area 1. Median OS (mOS) from pembrolizumab initiation was 13.0 months in area 1, 29.1 months in area 2 and 13.2 months in area 3 (P < .001), and median PFS was 4.8 months, 5.2 months, and 3.8 months, respectively (P = .002). In patients receiving EV after progression to PBC and pembrolizumab, mOS was 44.1 months in area 1, 31.7 months in area 2, and 23.8 months in area 3 (P = .267). Conclusion: Real-world data suggest that facilitating and extending access to targeted therapies for patients with aUC in different geographical areas worldwide may lead to a consistent and widespread survival increase. ©The authors ©JCO Global Oncology ©Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.

    Background: Recently, a plethora of novel systemic agents have been incorporated into the therapeutic armamentarium of advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC). The antibody–drug conjugate (ADC), enfortumab vedotin (EV), has demonstrated relevant clinical benefit in patients with aUC refractory to platinum and immune-checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. Our study provides a retrospective, international, real-world analysis comparing the effectiveness of EV to chemotherapy in this setting. Methods: The data were extracted from the medical records of patients treated with EV or chemotherapy following pembrolizumab for recurrent or progressive aUC after platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients were assessed for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR). Results: Our analysis included 247 patients treated with EV (88, 36%) or chemotherapy (159, 64%). Median OS was 9.1 months (95%CI 7.2–10.7) in the overall study population, 13.6 months (95%CI 10.0–31.0) in patients receiving EV and 6.8 months (95%CI 6.0–8.9) in patients receiving chemotherapy (p < 0.001). The OS benefit of EV was not affected by primary tumour site and histology, metastatic sites, type of first platinum-based chemotherapy or response to pembrolizumab. In the EV cohort, the median PFS was significantly longer (8.8 months [95%CI 6.5–17.0] vs. 3.0 months [95%CI 2.6–3.7]) and the ORR was significantly higher (56% vs. 23%) than in the chemotherapy cohort. ©The authors ©Wiley ©Cancer Medicine.
