Description

ASCO: You’re listening to a podcast from Cancer.Net. This cancer information website is produced by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, known as ASCO, the world’s leading professional organization for doctors who care for people with cancer. The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform. This is not a substitute for professional medical care and is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of individual conditions. Guests on this podcast express their own opinions, experience, and conclusions. The mention of any product, service, organization, activity, or therapy should not be construed as an ASCO endorsement. Cancer research discussed in this podcast is ongoing, so clinical trials described here may no longer be enrolling patients, and final results are not yet available.  Before any new cancer treatment can be approved for general use, it must be studied in a clinical trial in order to prove it is safe and effective. In today’s podcast, members of the Cancer.Net Editorial Board discuss 3 clinical trials that are exploring new treatment options across kidney, bladder, and prostate cancer. This podcast will be led by Dr. Timothy Gilligan, Dr. Tian Zhang, Dr. Petros Grivas, and Dr. Neeraj Agarwal. Dr. Gilligan is an Associate Professor and Medical Oncologist at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute. He has no relevant relationships to disclose. Dr. Zhang is an associate professor of medicine at Duke University School of Medicine and is a medical oncologist at Duke Cancer Institute. She has served in a consulting or advisory role for Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck, and has received research funding from Astellas Pharma. Dr. Grivas is the clinical director of the Genitourinary Cancers Program at University of Washington Medicine. He is also an associate member of the clinical research division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. He has served in a consulting or advisory role for Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck. Dr. Agarwal directs the Genitourinary Oncology Program at the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah. He has served in a consulting or advisory role for Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck, and Astellas Pharma. View full disclosures for Dr. Gilligan, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Grivas, and Dr. Agarwal at Cancer.Net. Dr. Gilligan: Hi. I'm Dr. Timothy Gilligan from the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute. I'm joined today by Dr. Tian Zhang from the Duke Cancer Institute, Dr. Petros Grivas from the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Dr. Neeraj Agarwal from the Huntsman Cancer Institute and University of Utah. Today, we're going to discuss 3 ongoing clinical trials in kidney, bladder, and prostate cancer. As you may know, clinical trials are the main way that doctors are able to find better treatment for diseases like cancer. Patient participation is vital for clinical trials. By participating in the clinical trial, you can directly help researchers develop better treatment, reduce side effects, or even reduce the risk of cancer altogether. The 3 trials we'll discuss today were chosen by members of the Cancer.Net Editorial Board Genitourinary Cancers panel from the Trials in Progress abstracts that were presented at ASCO's 2020 Annual Meeting. Because these are ongoing clinical trials, final results from these studies are not available yet. I'd like to note that none of us have any direct involvement with any of these trials. To view our full disclosures, please view the show notes for this episode on Cancer.Net. We're going to start with Dr. Zhang discussing the trial CheckMate 914. Why don't we begin with who the study is designed for? CheckMate 914 is a study in the adjuvant setting, so it's a study after patients have had their primary kidney cancers removed, and everybody needs to have a kidney tumor that's either 7 centimeters or larger or have extension beyond the kidney or any nodal involvement. So after their kidney tumors have been remov
