Outcomes in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma after discontinuation of programmed death (PD)-1 or PD ligand 1 inhibitor therapy.
To study the subsequent therapy and disease outcomes of patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) after discontinuation of programmed death-1 (PD-1) or programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors. ⋯ In this dataset, 35.5% of patients with advanced UC received systemic therapy after salvage therapy with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Outcomes after subsequent therapy appear similar to those historically observed in patients who had not received prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. Further study of patients receiving post-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy is warranted to identify factors associated with outcomes and potentially synergistic sequences.
