SunRISe-1 and NURE-COMBO: Addressing Unmet Needs and Expanding Treatment Options for Bladder Cancer
Author(s)Neal Shore, MD
Neal Shore, MD, FACS, discusses how the SunRISe-1 trial design addresses the need for bladder-sparing treatment options for patients with BCG-unresponsive high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR NMIBC) who are ineligible for or refuse radical cystectomy. He also contrasts the treatment approach and outcomes observed in the NURE-COMBO trial with the current standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus radical cystectomy regimen for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), discussing how this chemoimmunotherapy combination may potentially expand treatment options for this patient population.

Video content above is prompted by the following question(s):
- How does the SunRISe-1 trial design address the need for bladder-sparing treatment options for patients with BCG-unresponsive HR NMIBC who are ineligible or refuse radical cystectomy? Discuss the rationale for investigating the combination of TAR-200 and cetrelimab, as well as the TAR-200 and cetrelimab monotherapy approaches, in this patient population and how the preliminary results from the combination cohort compare to the monotherapy cohorts.
- Contrast the treatment approach and outcomes observed in the NURE-COMBO trial with the current standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus radical cystectomy regimen for MIBC. How might this chemoimmunotherapy combination potentially expand treatment options for this patient population?
