Avelumab first-line (1L) maintenance for advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC): Analysis of clinical and genomic subgroups from the JAVELIN Bladder 100 trial.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
4520 Background: In the phase 3 JAVELIN Bladder 100 trial, avelumab 1L maintenance + best supportive care (BSC) significantly prolonged overall survival (OS) vs BSC alone in patients (pts) with advanced UC that had not progressed on 1L platinum-based chemotherapy (HR, 0.69 [95% CI: 0.56, 0.86; 1-sided P= 0.0005]). We report post hoc analyses in previously unreported clinical and genomic subgroups. Methods: In JAVELIN Bladder 100 (NCT02603432), eligible pts had unresectable locally advanced or metastatic UC without progression after 4-6 cycles of 1L gemcitabine + cisplatin or carboplatin, and were randomized to receive avelumab + BSC (n = 350) or BSC alone (n = 350). The primary endpoint was OS, in all randomized pts and pts with PD-L1+ tumors (Ventana SP263 assay). In this exploratory analysis, we analyzed OS in disease stage and site subgroups, in pts with PD-L1+ tumors who received 1L gemcitabine + carboplatin, and in genomic subtypes (RNAseq whole-transcriptome profiling of tumor tissue) defined using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA 2017). Interaction tests were not performed. Results: Prolonged OS was observed in the avelumab + BSC arm vs the BSC alone arm in pts with upper or lower tract tumors, metastatic or locally advanced (LA) and unresectable disease (prior to chemotherapy), and lymph node-only disease post-chemotherapy (Table). OS was also prolonged with avelumab + BSC in pts in PD-L1+ tumors who had received 1L gemcitabine + carboplatin, consistent with findings in the overall population. In genomic subtypes, the OS benefit for avelumab + BSC was apparent across TCGA subtypes except luminal. Conclusions: An OS benefit was seen for avelumab 1L maintenance + BSC vs BSC alone across subgroups of interest. Results are consistent with previously reported findings, further supporting avelumab 1L maintenance as a standard of care for pts with advanced UC that has not progressed with 1L platinum-containing chemotherapy. Clinical trial information: NCT02603432. [Table: see text]

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
