Bladder Cancer and Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma – Landscape & Forecast – Disease Landscape & Forecast

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have greatly altered the treatment landscape for bladder cancer and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Initially confined to treatment of advanced disease, the anti-PD-1 therapies Keytruda (Merck & Co.) and Opdivo (Bristol Myers Squibb) are now approved in earlier treatment settings. Keytruda is now poised to become the standard of care in the first-line setting in combination with the antibody-drug conjugate Padcev (Seagen / Astellas) in cisplatin-ineligible patients. In the high-risk BCG-unresponsive population, Adstiladrin (Ferring Pharmaceuticals) is the first gene therapy available to treat bladder cancer in the United States. The approval of Bavencio (Merck KGaA / Pfizer) as maintenance therapy for first-line locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma highlights the expanded use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in all lines of therapy across the geographies covered. The initial entry of antibody-drug conjugates Padcev and Trodelvy (Gilead) has diversified the treatment paradigm for previously treated advanced or metastatic disease. Several new therapies and combinations, anticipated to be approved by 2032, will only intensify the competition in this market.
