4503 Background: Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is approved in combination with pembrolizumab and as a monotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (la/mUC). EV, alone pembrolizumab, has demonstrated an OS benefit generally manageable safety profile patients (pts) previously treated untreated la/mUC. Dose modifications, including reductions interruptions, are recommended to manage EV-related AEs. This analysis evaluates the association between EV plasma exposure, which impacted...

The use of light as a means therapy for bladder cancer has long history but been hampered by lack tumor specificity and therefore, damage to the normal mucosa. Here, we describe targeted form phototherapy called photoimmunotherapy (PIT), which targets EGFR-expressing cancer. Anti-EGFR antibody panitumumab was labeled with photoabsorber (PA), IRDye 700Dx (IR700), create panitumumab-IR700 antibody-PA conjugate that is activated near-infrared radiation (NIR). Bladder tissue microarray (TMA)...

Purpose: To evaluate lyso-thermosensitive liposomal doxorubicin (LTLD, ThermoDox®) in combination with loco-regional mild hyperthermia (HT) for targeted drug delivery to the bladder wall and potential treatment of cancer.Material methods: Porcine vivo studies were performed following groups: (i) intravenous (IV) LTLD (LTLD + HT); (ii) IV (DOX) (IV DOX HT) (iii) without – HT). Drug formulations delivered via 30 min infusion coinciding 1-h irrigation (45 °C water HT groups, 37 non-HT group),...

4564 Background: For patients (pts) with MIBC who are cisplatin-ineligible and undergoing radical cystectomy pelvic lymph node dissection (RC+PLND), no neoadjuvant treatment options have been shown to improve survival. Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is an antibody-drug conjugate directed Nectin-4, which highly expressed in urothelial cancer. EV, alone combination w/ pembrolizumab, has OS vs chemotherapy pts previously treated untreated locally advanced or metastatic cancer, respectively (Powles...

The Open Payments Program was enacted to increase transparency of financial relationships between physicians and the medical device pharmaceutical industry. We examined nonresearch related urologists industry in United States using latest data.We performed a descriptive analysis data released by Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services 2014. Total payment amounts associated with various urological drug categories were calculated. then correlations payments prescribing at national level Part D...

TPS4590 Background: High grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has a 70% recurrence rate and of 15-30% progression. The standard care is an induction course bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). A second can be used in patients who fail the initial course, however only 35% will experience 12 month disease free survival. For those failing radical cystectomy gold treatment, although morbidity high. Therefore there unmet need for localized treatment BCG. Recently, pox viral vector-based...

BCG sepsis is rarely seen with modern intravesical therapy and therefore its presentation may not be apparent to recently trained urologists. We describe occurring in a patient treated combined intraurethral which resulted lung consolidation acid-fast bacilli requiring cessation of initiation systemic antibiotic therapy.

Kinetic analysis of RNA enzymes, or ribozymes, typically involves the tedious process collecting and quenching reaction time points then fractionating by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). As a way to automate simplify this process, continuous ribozyme is demonstrated here using completely automated capillary sample introduction onto microfabricated device with laser-induced fluorescence detection. The method injection extremely reproducible thereby standardizing data analysis. A...

In the past decade, electrochemists have begun modifying electrode surfaces with polymer composites. Each of those composites had advantages over standard modified electrode. Usually, major advantage is increased sensitivity. However, years chromatographic research proven that tailoring surface glass beads can increase selectivity a system. The same principle should be applicable to film This based upon making bead/ion exchange unique interfaces alter redox species on basis physical and...
