Real-world enfortumab vedotin +/- pembrolizumab (EV+/-P)–based treatment toxicity, treatment discontinuation, and associations with survival in advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC).

4562 Background: EV-based therapy is central to the standard of care for aUC, increasingly in combination with P. Current understanding of EV-related toxicity is limited to clinical trial data. Here, we use real-world data to characterize the frequency of EV-based treatment-toxicity, -discontinuation, and associations with survival. Methods: We performed a post-marketing retrospective cohort study of EV+/-P initiators at the University of Pennsylvania (1/2020-5/2024). The frequency of any of five toxicities (skin reaction, neuropathy, ocular disorder, hyperglycemia, and pneumonitis) and associated treatment-interruptions (hold or discontinuation), -reduction, or -hospitalization were summarized. Among pts with at ≥1 year of follow-up, overall survival (mOS) was compared between pts with vs without each toxicity via KM methods. Results: Among 123 EV/EV+P treated pts, median age was 68 years, 72% were male, 74% were white, 68% had bladder primary, and 71% treated with EV alone. Frequency of toxicity, time to toxicity, and proportions requiring dose interruption, reduction, and hospitalization are shown (Table). 60% of pts had skin reaction, 47% neuropathy, 28% ocular disorder, 14% hyperglycemia, and 2% pneumonitis; treatment discontinuation occurred among 20% of pts with neuropathy, 5% of those with skin reaction, 3% of those with ocular disorders, and 0% of those with hyperglycemia or pneumonitis. Among 80 pts with at least one-year of follow-up (89% EV monotherapy), mOS was 14.3 months (95% CI: 11.3-19.3). Survival was greater among those with skin reaction, neuropathy, and ocular disorders (mOS skin reaction vs. no reaction: 19.3 vs. 6.4 months, p < 0.001; neuropathy vs. no neuropathy: 16.5 vs. 8.2 months, p = 0.001; ocular disorder vs. no ocular disorder: 17.1 vs. 11.3 months; p = 0.001). Conclusions: EV+/-P treatment toxicity occurred in a majority of pts, but treatment discontinuation was infrequent. Presence of toxicity was significantly associated with improved survival. Future work is needed to prospectively validate these findings. EV+/-P treatment toxicity and survival outcomes (n=123).
