JAVELIN Bladder 100: Background § First-line, platinum-based chemotherapy controls advanced urothelial carcinoma in 65% to 75% of cases, but PFS and OS limited due to development of chemotherapy resistance [1, 2] § Only 25% to 55% of patients go on to receive second-line therapy[3, 4] ‒ PD-1/PD-L 1 inhibitors, including avelumab, represent standard second-line treatment options [5 -7] ‒ Outcomes typically poor to due to rapid disease progression, with a minority of patients attaining durable clinical benefit[3 -7] § Use of PD-1/PD-L 1 inhibitors in the maintenance setting after response to first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy may enhance clinical benefit by allowing immunotherapy to sustain disease control in the absence of large tumor burden[8] § Current phase III trial evaluated efficacy of maintenance avelumab + BSC vs BSC alone in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma without disease progression after first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy[9] 1.

JAVELIN Bladder 100: Conclusions § JAVELIN Bladder 100 met primary endpoint in overall population and PD-L 1+ population, with maintenance avelumab significantly prolonging OS in patients with response or stable disease after prior first-line platinum chemotherapy ‒ Median OS in overall population: 21. 4 vs 14. 3 mos (HR: 0. 69; 95% CI: 0. 56 -0. 86; P <. 001) ‒ Median OS in PD-L 1+ population: NE vs 17. 1 mos (HR: 0. 56; 95% CI: 0. 40 -0. 79; P <. 001) ‒ OS benefit observed across patient subgroups § Avelumab safety profile deemed manageable, with relatively low rates of grade ≥ 3 AEs; consistent with previous reports § Investigators conclude that avelumab maintenance in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma whose disease did not progress after first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy represents a new standard-of-care therapy ‒ On June 30, 2020, the FDA approved avelumab as maintenance therapy for patients with locally advanced/metastatic UC that has not progressed on first-line platinum-based chemotherapy Powles.
