Prospective multicenter study of ctDNA versus tumor tissue guiding FGFR-targeted therapy in metastatic urothelial cancer. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
In 21 patients who received erdafitinib after testing, the median progression-free survival is 7.5 months, and one patient with a ctDNA-exclusive FGFR alteration remained on erdafitinib for 33 months. Our results support clinical uptake of ctDNA FGFR testing in combination with tissue-based approaches in mUC.

Engineering a Gd₂(WO₄)₃-P@rGO heterostructure for enhanced electrochemical sensing and therapeutic drug monitoring of erdafitinib. (PubMed, Mikrochim Acta)
Recovery studies in spiked human serum and urine samples yielded excellent results (95.7-104.8% recovery, RSD ≤ 3.65%), validating the sensor's real-world applicability. Importantly, the sensor offers scalable fabrication, requires no toxic reducing agents, and exhibits strong selectivity and long-term stability, making it a novel and sustainable platform for therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmacokinetics, and point-of-care diagnostics.

FGFR Testing in Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma-Who, When, and How to Test. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
This has broadened the treatment landscape of the disease to include novel agents, such as antibody-drug conjugates (e.g., enfortumab vedotin) and targeted therapies, including the pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor erdafitinib. Equally important is the standardization and timely implementation of FGFR3 testing in clinical practice to optimize treatment planning. This review addresses key considerations in FGFR3 testing in mUC and discusses how it can be routinely incorporated into clinical practice.

Ligand-Based Computational Design and Preclinical Evaluation of a Novel Cyclic Peptide Radiotracer for FGFR1-Targeted PET Imaging in Uveal Melanoma. (PubMed, ACS Sens)
Furthermore, [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-cHW8 validated FGFR1 dynamic modulation during erdafitinib treatment in CDX and PDX models, establishing its efficacy for noninvasive UM treatment response assessment. This study reports a cyclic peptide-based radiotracer, [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-cHW8, for FGFR1 PET imaging in UM. Through rational design and preclinical validation in UM models, we establish its high specificity, favorable pharmacokinetics properties, and capability to monitor FGFR1 dynamics during targeted therapy.

Preferred Treatment Sequencing for Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma (mUC) in the Era of Perioperative and First-Line (1L) Checkpoint Inhibitor: Results From a National Survey of Genitourinary Oncologists. (PubMed, Clin Genitourin Cancer)
Survey-based opinions can effectively capture treatment selection preferences for mUC and could inform future clinical trial design. Additional data, including the impact of residual toxicity from 1L EVP, are needed to better understand real-world treatment sequencing patterns.
