The Scottish Medicines Consortium has recommended the reimbursement of enfortumab vedotin with pembrolizumab for adults with unresectable or metastatic urothelial cancer. This decision allows access to a treatment that significantly improves overall survival through the NHS. The EV-302 phase 3 trial showed a median overall survival of 33.8 months for the combination compared to 15.9 months for chemotherapy. Experts believe this combination will reshape first-line treatment for advanced bladder cancer patients in Scotland.

The FDA has issued an untitled letter to Alnylam regarding its Amvuttra website, claiming it presents misleading efficacy data. The agency criticized the use of open-label trial results, stating that the lack of a true placebo group after 3.5 years introduces bias. Despite a caveat on the website, the FDA concluded that the claims misbrand Amvuttra, violating the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Alnylam has 15 working days to respond, and this is the second untitled letter the company has received from the FDA in recent months.
