Overview

This is a **combination regimen** used for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma in patients eligible for platinum-based chemotherapy. It consists of: - **Enfortumab vedotin**: an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting Nectin-4, conjugated to monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), a microtubule-disrupting agent. Combines targeted cytotoxic delivery with the mechanism of the antibody binding specifically to Nectin-4 expressing tumor cells, leading to cell death. - **Pembrolizumab**: a programmed death 1 (**PD-1**) immune checkpoint inhibitor, fostering an immune response against tumor cells by blocking PD-L1 and PD-L2 interaction. - **Carboplatin**: a platinum-based chemotherapy agent that causes DNA crosslinking and apoptosis in rapidly dividing cells. This regimen is used primarily as a first-line therapy for advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, especially in patients unsuitable for cisplatin[1][5][7]. The combination leverages both targeted immunotherapy and cytotoxic effects and is associated with a statistically significant survival benefit as compared to platinum chemotherapy alone[1][5][7].
