1L PADCEV® + PEMBROLIZUMAB EFFICACY
A standard of care across 1L la/mUC1-4
EFFICACY
PADCEV + pembrolizumab nearly doubled mOS vs chemotherapy1
PADCEV + pembrolizumab reduced the risk of death by 53% vs chemotherapy (HR=0.47; 95% CI: 0.38, 0.58*; P<0.0001)†
The median survival follow-up time for this trial was 17.2 months (range: 0.1, 37.2).2,5

PADCEV + pembrolizumab delivered superior ORR vs chemotherapy (P<0.0001‡)1
Nearly 30% of patients achieved a complete response with PADCEV + pembrolizumab

SUBGROUP DATA
Efficacy results were consistent across all stratified patient subgroups1,2,8
Prespecified stratification factors for randomization included:
- Cisplatin eligibility/ineligibility
- Presence/absence of liver metastases
- High (CPS ≥10)/low (CPS <10) PD‑L1 expression
Subgroup analyses were exploratory in nature. This study was not powered to detect differences between treatments based on prespecified subgroups. Results of the exploratory subgroup analyses are descriptive but not conclusive, are not controlled for type I error, and should be interpreted with caution.

TRIAL DESIGN
EV‑302: A pivotal phase 3 trial in 1L la/mUC1,2,8,9
Maintenance therapy (eg, avelumab) was permitted following completion and/or discontinuation of platinum-based chemotherapy, if locally available, and provided the patient was deemed appropriate by the investigator.2,9
