A new drug combo significantly extends survival for advanced bladder cancer patients compared to chemotherapy.
A phase 3 trial found that Loqtorzi, a combination of disitamab vedotin and toripalimab, significantly improves survival for patients with HER2-expressing advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer compared to standard chemotherapy.
After 18.2 months, the combination group had a median progression-free survival of 13.1 months versus 6.5 months and a median overall survival of 31.5 months versus 16.9 months, with a 64% lower risk of progression or death and a 46% lower risk of death.
Response rates were higher and responses lasted longer with the combination, and fewer patients needed later treatments.
Serious side effects were less common with the new regimen.
Results presented at the 2025 ESMO Congress and published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggest it may become the new first-line standard of care.
