Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, announced that the phase III IMvigor211 study that evaluated Tecentriq (atezolizumab) in people with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer whose disease progressed during or after treatment with a platinum-based chemotherapy did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival compared to chemotherapy.
A research team led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators has shown that combining pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, with standard chemotherapy can improve treatment outcomes for patients with small cell bladder cancer and small cell/neuroendocrine prostate cancer.
