Major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide
430,000 new cases and 165,000 deaths per year
First-line randomised trials in
advanced transitional cell carcinoma
Better patient selection, earlier diagnosis and screening, better supportive care (growth factors)

High mutational load in bladder cancer
Lawrence et al. Nature 2013;499:214–8
Bladder tumours along with other malignancies such as lung and melanoma display a high number
of somatic mutations rendering these tumours more immunogenic

• First-line pembrolizumab elicits clinically meaningful responses in
cisplatin-ineligible, senior patients with advanced urothelial cancer
consistent with those of the overall study population
• No new safety signals for pembrolizumab were identified, and the
safety profile was consistent in senior patients, including those with
poor performance status
• Pembrolizumab provides a new treatment option for patients with
advanced urothelial cancer who may not tolerate any chemotherapy

• How to identify responders?
• When and how long should we treat patients?
• How should we give ICI for frail patients?
• How to explain resistance and to overcome resistance?

Future Strategies for Immunotherapy
• Targeting several immune checkpoints
• Enhancing neoantigen expression
• Combination with targeted therapies, chemo, or IR
• Targeting T-cell metabolism and microenvironnement
• Reprogramming host microbiome
• Use earlier
IR, ionizing radiation
• Immune checkpoint inhibitors approved in both first- and second-line therapy
• Level 1 evidence for pembrolizumab in second-line
• No data from randomized trials in first-line to date
• ~20% achieved response with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors
• Many combinations currently investigated
