      FDA Grants Priority Review for PADCEV and Keytruda Combination in Bladder Cancer Treatment

      Astellas Pharma Inc. and Pfizer Inc. have announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted their supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Priority Review. The application seeks approval for the use of PADCEV (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) in combination with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) as a perioperative treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, regardless of a patient's eligibility for cisplatin.

      PADCEV is an antibody-drug conjugate that targets Nectin-4, while Keytruda is a PD-1 inhibitor. This combination aims to improve treatment outcomes for patients undergoing surgery for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The FDA's Priority Review designation is granted to therapies that may offer significant improvements in safety or effectiveness over existing treatments, expediting the review process.

      The acceptance of this application reflects the ongoing efforts to enhance treatment options for patients with bladder cancer, a condition that often requires aggressive management strategies. Astellas and Pfizer are committed to advancing innovative therapies that address unmet medical needs in oncology.
