Would you use maintenance avelumab for a patient with metastatic urothelial carcinoma who progressed on first-line pembrolizumab, then had stable disease after at least four cycles of second-line carboplatin plus gemcitabine?
Would it change your decision if they had progressed on a first-line trial with cisplatin followed by pembrolizumab plus enfortumab vedotin maintenance?
Answer from: Medical Oncologist at Academic Institution

At progression, would probably not offer checkpoint inhibitor and would instead favor novel therapies like enfortuma...
