The FDA approved pembrolizumab (Keytruda) or pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa (Keytruda Qlex) in combination with enfortumab vedotin (Padcev) as perioperative treatment for adults with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), regardless of cisplatin eligibility.

This extends the prior approval for the regimen in this setting from patients who are cisplatin-ineligible to all patients with MIBC who are candidates for cystectomy.
