urothelial carcinoma
1 curated biomarker
FDA-approved treatments
- PD-L1
- Tecentriq (atezolizumab) [fda]
- Imfinzi (durvalumab) [fda]
- Opdivo (nivolumab) [fda]
- Keytruda (pembrolizumab) [ema]
Prevalence
- PD-L1
PD-L1 expression thresholds and prevalence vary substantially by tumor type and assay; high PD-L1 expression (TPS >= 50%) is seen in approximately 25%-30% of NSCLC by validated companion diagnostic assays.[fda]
Tests / detection method
- PD-L1
IHC
Therapeutic pipeline
- PD-L1
- Next-generation immune checkpoint combinations (e.g., LAG-3, TIGIT co-blockade) (LAG-3 expression, TIGIT expression) [fda]
