Oncologist fascinated by emerging technologies and therapeutics in healthcare. Views are my own.







We presented the 5-year OS update for pts who are cis-ineligible w/met UC treated in EV-103 cohort A/Dose Esc with EV/pembro: 41% of patients are alive at 5 years! (Historical data <5% in a similar pt population). If this holds up in EV302, it is truly a game changer! #ESMO2024




















Serial ctDNA testing from IMVIGOR11 (post cystectomy in muscle invasive bladder cancer) show that ctDNA-ve patients (n=171) with a minimum of 12months follow up have 10% relapse rates and almost no deaths #EAU24. Do we need to give adjuvant therapy to those as such low risk?



Now you understand that MIBC with TPS of 10% has a CPS of at least 10! But: It could have no positive immune cells! However, a tumor that is negative on tumor cells could have a CPS of 100 and a TPS of 0%. When thinking of that a bit you will Immediately understand that the ALGORITHMS make the difference and not the ASSAYS! 👉 And: PD-L1 positive/negative populations divided by a cut off e.g., CPS10 (Pembro/Ambassador) versus TPS1 %(Nivo/Checkmate274) can be completely different !!!! I hope this helps a bit ! And ask questions if not ☺️. At least one thing is clear: PD-L1 testing is not dead, it is returning ! And maybe even more on the near future.
