Median survival and hazard ratios are not fixed-time event risks; NNT is not inferred from them.

Toxicity and treatment burden

Rash, peripheral neuropathy, hyperglycaemia, ocular toxicity; rare severe skin reactions/pneumonitis.

Absolute effect and NNT/NNH

Distinct from EV-302 first-line enfortumab-pembrolizumab and perioperative EV-303/304.

NNT/NNH is not calculated unless a directly reported, comparable fixed-time risk difference supports it. Median survival and hazard ratios alone do not provide an NNT.

Critical interpretation and limitations

Distinct from EV-302 first-line enfortumab-pembrolizumab and perioperative EV-303/304.
