          Abstract

          Summary Introduction: Clinical trial results with new cancer therapies often differ from the results observed in daily practice. Atezolizumab showed durable responses and a favorable safety profile for patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma refractory to platinum-based chemotherapy in the IMvigor211 trial. This study was conducted to compare patients treated in real clinical practice and IMvigor211 trial regarding baseline characteristics, effectiveness and safety. Material and methods: Retrospective, observational study of data collection in a tertiary hospital. Patients receiving atezolizumab between January 10, 2018, and March 5, 2020, were included. Primary endpoints were progression free survival, overall survival and the number of discontinuations due to adverse events. Results: Twenty-nine patients were studied with a median follow up of 5.1 months (range 0-21.6). Median age was 75 years in our cohort and 67 years in the IMvigor211 trial. The median progression free survival was 2.7 months (95%CI 1.9-3.5) versus 2.1 months (95%CI 2.1-2.2) in the IMvigor211. The median overall survival was 5.1 months (95% CI 1.9-8.3) versus 8.6 months (95%CI 7.8-9.6) in the IMvigor211. There was a 13.8% of treatment withdrawals due to immune related toxicity compared to 3.5% of patients who discontinued treatment due to the same cause in IMvigor211. Conclusion: Patients treated in real clinical practice have less favorable baseline characteristics than patients in the IMvigor211 trial. Results in real clinical practice are similar to those of the clinical trial. Further studies with a longer median follow up and a more significant number of patients would be warranted to confirm these hypotheses.

          Resumen Introducción: Los resultados de los ensayos clínicos a menudo difieren de la práctica real. Atezolizumab mostró un perfil de eficacia y seguridad favorable en pacientes con carcinoma urotelial avanzado en recaída tras quimioterapia basada en platino en el ensayo IMvigor211. Este estudio compara las características basales de los pacientes tratados con atezolizumab en la práctica clínica real y en el ensayo IMvigor211 y también su eficacia y seguridad. Métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo realizado en un hospital terciario. Se incluyeron todos los pacientes que recibieron atezolizumab entre el 10 de enero de 2018 y el 5 de marzo de 2020. Se evaluó la supervivencia libre de progresión, la supervivencia global y el número de discontinuaciones por efectos adversos. Resultados: Se incluyeron 29 pacientes, con un seguimiento de 5,1 meses (rango 0-21,6). La mediana de edad fue 75 años frente a los 67 años de los pacientes del ensayo IMvigor211. La supervivencia libre de progresión fue 2,7 meses (IC95% 1,9-3,5) frente a 2,1 meses (IC95% 2,1-2,2) en el IMvigor211. La supervivencia global fue 5,1 meses (IC95% 1,9-8,3) frente a 8,6 meses (IC95% 7,8-9,6) en el IMvigor211. Hubo un 13,8% de interrupciones por toxicidad frente al 3,5% de pacientes que discontinuaron el tratamiento en el ensayo IMvigor211. Conclusión: En la práctica clínica real, los pacientes tienen peor estado basal que los del ensayo IMvigor211. Los resultados en la práctica real son similares a los del ensayo clínico. Se necesitan estudios con un mayor seguimiento y número de pacientes para confirmar estas hipótesis.

            Atezolizumab as first-line treatment in cisplatin-ineligible patients with locally advanced and metastatic urothelial carcinoma: a single-arm, multicentre, phase 2 trial.

            First-line chemotherapy for patients with cisplatin-ineligible locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma is associated with short response duration, poor survival, and high toxicity. This study assessed atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1]) as treatment for metastatic urothelial cancer in cisplatin-ineligible patients.

              Avelumab Maintenance Therapy for Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma

              Platinum-based chemotherapy is standard-of-care first-line treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma. However, progression-free survival and overall survival are limited by chemotherapy resistance.
