A systematic review using Medline and scientific meeting records was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses guidelines to assess the potential role of FGFR inhibitors in combination with additional therapies for the management of UC.

According to the THOR data of cohort 2, erdafitinib should not be recommended in patients who are eligible for and have not received prior immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). One phase 3 trial is currently evaluating the intravesical device system (TAR210) in FGFR-altered intermediate non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (MoonRISe-1). Preclinical evidence suggests that combination-based approaches could be considered to improve the efficacy of FGFR inhibitors in patients with UC. Nine phase 1b/2 trials are focusing on the combination of FGFR inhibitors with ICIs, chemotherapy, or enfortumab vedotin. In metastatic disease, some preliminary analyses have reported promising results from these combinations (e.g. NORSE and FORT-2 trial). However, no phase 3 trial is terminated, so there is currently no level 1 evidence with long-term outcomes to support the combination of FGFR inhibitors with ICIs, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies. A better understanding of the different mechanisms of action to inhibit FGFR signaling pathways, optimal patient selection and treatment approaches is still needed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7145,"journal":{"name":"Actas urologicas espanolas","volume":"49 5","pages":"Article 501719"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144190403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
