This post hoc analysis evaluated pembrolizumab retreatment in patients with advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma who received pembrolizumab in KEYNOTE-045, KEYNOTE-052, or KEYNOTE-361, and either stopped pembrolizumab after a complete response (CR) or completed pembrolizumab (35 cycles [∼2 yr]) with an objective response or stable disease. Upon disease progression, protocol-specified pembrolizumab retreatment (200 mg intravenously every 3 wk) was administered for ≤17 cycles. Forty-nine patients met the criteria and were included. The median follow-up was 24.4 mo (range, 1.4–53.5). The median time between first-course therapy cessation and pembrolizumab retreatment was 10.7 mo (1.0–36.3). Twenty patients (41%) had an objective response with pembrolizumab retreatment, 65% of whom had a CR to first-course treatment. The median retreatment duration was 8.3 mo (range, 0.0–13.2); the median duration of response was 14.0 mo (2.1+ to 20.5). From retreatment initiation, the median (95% confidence interval) progression-free survival and overall survival were 9.5 mo (5.6–15.0) and 25.7 mo (21.5–27.5), respectively. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 45% (grade 3–4: 6%; grade 5: 0%). Data suggest that pembrolizumab retreatment is beneficial and tolerable for some patients with advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma who previously had a CR or completed 2 yr of pembrolizumab.","PeriodicalId":12223,"journal":{"name":"European urology","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our objective is to evaluate the impact of treatment burden on quality of life (QoL) in patients with genitourinary (GU) malignancies, highlighting the importance of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in clinical trials to inform treatment decisions and improve patient care.<h3>Methods</h3>We conducted a narrative review of clinical trials focused on GU malignancy (prostate, bladder, and kidney) between January 2000 and June 2024, analyzing related PROs and findings regarding treatment burden.<h3>Key findings and limitations</h3>Recent landmark clinical trials demonstrate significant improvements in overall survival across GU malignancies with novel therapies. However, the reporting of QoL outcomes in these trials is often inadequate, with many lacking comprehensive data or long-term impact. Current publications are increasingly evaluating treatment burden and its impact on patient well-being as a critical outcome, but most clinical trials to date have failed to assess treatment burden across key domains including financial, time and travel, and medication management.<h3>Conclusions and clinical implications</h3>While advancements in treatment have extended longevity in patients with GU malignancies, the treatment burden associated with the receipt of novel agents and its implications for QoL remain inadequately uncharacterized.","PeriodicalId":12223,"journal":{"name":"European urology","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
