Avelumab injection is used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older with metastatic Merkel cell cancer (skin cancer that has already spread). Avelumab helps change the immune system to help control the growth of cancer cells.

Avelumab injection is also used to treat urothelial carcinoma (a type of bladder cancer) that has spread throughout the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (advanced). Avelumab is given to patients who have received other cancer medicines (eg, platinum) but did not work well.

Avelumab is to be given only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.
