Immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy and safety as both first-line and first-line switch maintenance therapy for mUC. For platinum-refractory patients, in addition to immunotherapy, other targeted agents (antibody–drug conjugates and fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitors) have been approved after demonstrating a clinically relevant advantage in overall response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival compared to standard of care. Sequential treatment strategies are finally feasible for patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma. This review will summarize the results of the most important phase II–III clinical trials for first-line, switch maintenance, second-line, and subsequent lines of therapy, and describe the most promising clinical trials currently ongoing in these treatment scenarios.Keywords: metastatic urothelial carcinoma, targeted therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, first-line treatment, second-line treatmentRizzo MGiannatempo PPorta CDove Medical Pressarticlemetastatic urothelial carcinomatargeted therapyimmune checkpoint inhibitorsfirst-line treatmentsecond-line treatmentMedicine (General)R5-920ENBiologics: Targets & Therapy, Vol Volume 15, Pp 441-450 (2021)
