New Analyses Reinforce Survival Benefit of BAVENCIO First-Line Maintenance Treatment in Patients With Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma

The findings presented today reinforce that all patients eligible for platinum-based chemotherapy, either cisplatin or carboplatin, can benefit from avelumab maintenance therapy.
