AstraZeneca’s supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for IMFINZI® (durvalumab) in combination with enfortumab vedotin (EV) has been accepted and granted Priority Review in the US for the treatment of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who are ineligible for or have declined cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) grants Priority Review to applications for medicines that, if approved, would offer significant improvements over available treatment options by demonstrating safety or efficacy improvements, preventing serious conditions or enhancing patient compliance.1 The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date, the FDA action date for its regulatory decision, is anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2026.

Approximately one in four patients with bladder cancer has muscle-invasive disease, where the tumor invades the muscle wall of the bladder, without distant metastases.2,3 As many as 50% of patients are ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy due to impaired renal function or comorbidities.4,5 The standard treatment for these patients has historically been radical cystectomy alone but, despite undergoing this major surgery, patients experience high rates of recurrence and have a poor prognosis.
