Treatment Patterns and Use of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Among Patients with Metastatic Bladder Cancer in a Dutch Nationwide Cohort. ...
Since 2017, two immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become the standard of care for the treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma in Europe: pembrolizumab as second-line therapy and avelumab as maintenance therapy. Our aim was to describe the use of ICIs as first and later lines of treatment in patients with metastatic bladder cancer (mBC) in the Netherlands. We identified all patients diagnosed with primary mBC between 2018 and 2021 in the Netherlands from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR). NCR data were supplemented with data from the Dutch nationwide Prospective Bladder Cancer I... Mehr ...

Since 2017, two immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become the standard of care for the treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma in Europe: pembrolizumab as second-line therapy and avelumab as maintenance therapy. Our aim was to describe the use of ICIs as first and later lines of treatment in patients with metastatic bladder cancer (mBC) in the Netherlands. We identified all patients diagnosed with primary mBC between 2018 and 2021 in the Netherlands from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR). NCR data were supplemented with data from the Dutch nationwide Prospective Bladder Cancer Infrastructure (ProBCI) collected from medical files, with follow-up until death or end of data collection on January 1, 2023. A total of 1525 patients were diagnosed with primary mBC between 2018 and 2021 in the Netherlands. Of these, 34.7% received at least one line of systemic treatment with chemotherapy or ICI. After first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, 34.1% received second-line ICI and 3.9% received maintenance ...
