Abstract
The phase 3 NIAGARA trial1 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in event-free and overall survival in cisplatin-eligible patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated with perioperative durvalumab in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone. The combination was manageable and did not adversely impact surgery. NIAGARA positions perioperative durvalumab with chemotherapy as a potential new standard of care.
