Bladder Cancer Overview Bladder cancer usually starts in the cells that line the inside of the bladder. It typically affects adults over the age of 70 and is more common in men. Bladder cancer is the fifth most prevalent type of cancer in the general population and the fourth most common in males. When detected early, bladder cancer usually responds well to bladder cancer treatment. Smoking is among the most common bladder cancer causes. Blood in the urine is usually the first sign of bladder cancer. Other bladder cancer symptoms may include urine pain or burning, as well as a change in urinary habits. This can include frequent urination or the need to urinate but being unable to do so. The tests used for bladder cancer diagnosis include biopsy, cystoscopy, urine cytology, imaging tests, and others.

With the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting being held over the weekend, it was a hectic week for clinical trial news and updates. Here’s a look at just some of them. COVID-19-Related The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reported results from part of its Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines (ACTIV) trial, specifically its ACTIVE-1 Immune Modulators clinical trial. The study found that both Bristol Myers Squibb’s Orencia (abatacept) and Johnson & Johnson's Remicade (infliximab) demonstrated a strong but not statistically significant improvement in time to recovery by the day of discharge from the hospital. This was the primary endpoint of the study. There were also substantial improvements in the trial’s key secondary endpoints of mortality and clinical status at 28 days. Non-COVID-19-Related Immutep presented new interim data from Part A of its Phase II TACTI-002 in first-line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study is evaluating eftilagimod alpha in combination with Merck’s anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor Keytruda (pembrolizumab). Eftilagimod is a soluble LAG-3 protein. The drug combination demonstrated an improved overall response rate (ORR) of 37.3% in its intent to treat population and compared to 36.1% presented at last year’s ASCO meeting. Responses were seen in all PD-L1 subgroups with 32% ORR in patients with no or low PD-L1 levels, and the combination demonstrated an improved disease control rate of 73.3% compared to 66.7% at last year’s meeting. The company is also presenting an abstract for the design of its ongoing Phase IIb TACTI-003 trial at the meeting. That trial is evaluating the same drug combination as first-line treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
