Trials evaluating anti-PD-L1/PD-1 antibodies in patients with previously treated, metastatic urothelial cancer

Rosenberg et al.118 Plimack et al.119 Apolo et al.120 Massard et al.121 Sharma et al.122 Galsky et al.123
Phase II Ib Ib I/II I/ll II
Therapeutic antibody evaluated Atezolizumab Pembrolizumab Avelumab Durvalumab Nivolumab Nivolumab
Antibody target PD-L1 PD-1 PD-L1 PD-L1 PD-1 PD-1
Number of patients evaluable for response 310 29 44 42 78 265
Proportion of patients treated with ≥2 prior lines of therapy 42% 51.5% 52.3% 31% 66.6% 29.3%
Breakdown of PD-L1 scores/positivity* (proportion of patients)
  • IC 0/1: 68%

  • IC 2/3: 23%

PD-L1*: 100% PD-L1*: 31.3% PD-L1*: 67% PD-L1*: 37.3% PD-L1*: 45.9%
ORR (RECIST v1.1) 15% 27.6% 15.9% 31% 24.4% 19.6%
CR rate (RECIST v1.1) 5% 10.3% 2.3% Not reported 6.4% 2.3%
Median follow-up duration 11.7 months 15 months 3.5 months 6.5 months 9 months 7 months
Median DOR Not yet reached Not yet reached Not yet reached Not yet reached Not yet reached Not yet reached
Rate of grade 3–4 AEs 16% 15.2% 2.3% 4.9% 22% 17.8%

AEs, adverse events; CR, complete response; DOR, duration of response; IC, score based on percentage of PD-L1-positive tumour-infiltrating immune cells; ORR, objective response rate; PD-1, programmed cell-death protein 1; PD-L1, programmed cell death 1 ligand 1.
