Peripheral neuropathy during perioperative therapy with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab in muscle-invasive urothelial cancer
Official title: Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients Receiving Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab as Perioperative Systemic Therapy for Urothelial Carcinoma. An Investigator-Initiated, Prospective, Multicenter, Non-Interventional Trial.
Run by Comprehensive Cancer Center Munich (CCCM) · NCT07870577 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study follows adults with muscle-invasive urothelial cancer to see how nerve-related side effects develop when people receive enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab around surgery as part of standard care.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 and older with histologically confirmed muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma who are eligible for enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab per product labeling and have not received prior systemic therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not experience peripheral neuropathy or who are not receiving the specified perioperative regimen may see no direct benefit.

What this trial studies
P-EVOLVE is a multicenter, prospective observational study of adults with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma who are treated with perioperative enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab as part of routine care. The study documents the onset and progression of peripheral neuropathy using patient questionnaires, neurological exams, and nerve conduction tests, and also tracks neuropathic pain, quality of life related to neurotoxicity, depressive symptoms, and changes in taste and smell withTaste Strip testing. Assessments occur before treatment, during neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy, around radical cystectomy, and at the end of treatment to describe the trajectory of neuropathy and related factors. Participation does not influence treatment decisions or access.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Findings could help clinicians understand and anticipate nerve-related side effects in patients receiving this perioperative regimen.
How similar studies have gone: Previous observational work in other regimens has demonstrated the utility of systematically characterizing neuropathy, though this specific perioperative combination is relatively novel.
