Learning from BISCAY: The future of biomarker-based trial design in bladder cancer

Cancer Cell. 2021 Jul 12;39(7):910-912. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2021.06.011.

Abstract

A recent article in Nature Medicine explored the combination of immunotherapy with multiple distinct targeted therapies in patients with metastatic urothelial cancer, employing a biomarker-driven approach. Herein, we discuss the merits of this ambitious study and highlight the need for larger biomarker-based randomized trials to arrive at definitive clinical conclusions.
