FDA Grants Priority Review of Pfizer/Astella’s sBLA for Enfortumab Vedotin Plus Pembrolizumab for MIBC Regardless of Cisplatin Eligibility

Apr 20, 2026

On 20 April 2026, Astellas Pharma and Pfizer announced that the FDA granted priority review of the sBLA for Astella Pharma/Pfizer’s Padcev™ (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) in combination with MSD’s Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) or Keytruda Qlex™ (pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph), for the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), regardless of cisplatin eligibility.

The combination received FDA approval in November 2025 for cisplatin-ineligible patients with MIBC.  The sBLA seeks to expand the indication to patients regardless of cisplatin eligibility

The FDA has set a target action date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 17 August 2026.
