- New clinical data across ten accepted abstracts demonstrate significant progress across Astellas' innovative oncology programs -

- Results from the EV-303 trial (also known as KEYNOTE-905) in cisplatin-ineligible patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer selected for presentation in an ESMO Presidential Symposium -

TOKYO, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Astellas Pharma Inc. (TSE: 4503, President and CEO: Naoki Okamura, "Astellas") will present ten abstracts from our portfolio and advancing pipeline at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) congress taking place from 17-21 October 2025, including new data for PADCEV™ (enfortumab vedotin) plus pembrolizumab in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) which will be presented in an ESMO Presidential Symposium on 18 October. In prostate cancer, we are sharing final best-in-class overall survival data for XTANDI™ (enzalutamide) in high-risk, biochemically recurrent non-metastatic hormone sensitive disease, plus encouraging data for our next-generation bispecific T cell engager ASP2138 in solid tumors, demonstrating continued leadership in CLDN18.2-targeted precision medicine.

Moitreyee Chatterjee-Kishore, Ph.D., M.B.A., Head of Oncology Development, Astellas
"Astellas focuses on some of the most complex and devastating cancers. These ESMO data demonstrate our 'bench to bedside' approach in action – from deep disease biology to measurable improvements in patient outcomes. We're proud to share breakthrough new survival data in muscle-invasive bladder cancer and overall survival data in hormone sensitive prostate cancer, which reflect potentially practice-changing advances that could transform outcomes for patients who need them most. We also continue to advance innovation in gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer with new clinical data for our next-generation investigational bispecific T cell engager."

Highlights from Astellas at ESMO 2025 will include:

  • Data from the Phase 3 EV-303 (also known as KEYNOTE-905) clinical trial which will be featured in an ESMO Presidential Symposium, evaluating enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab as neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment (before and after surgery) versus surgery alone, the current standard of care, in patients with MIBC who are not eligible for or declined cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
  • Long-term follow-up data from the EV-302 clinical trial exploring the utility of enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with challenging baseline characteristics, including older patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer and those with comorbidities such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
  • Final data from the Phase 3 EMBARK trial assessing overall survival with enzalutamide in combination with leuprolide and as monotherapy in patients with non-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (nmHSPC; also known as non-metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer or nmCSPC) with high-risk biochemical recurrence.
  • First clinical data from Astellas' investigational CLDN18.2-targeted, next-generation bispecific CD3 T cell engager ASP2138, both as a monotherapy and in combination with standard of care therapy.
