ABSTRACT
Purpose:
Patients with International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium (IMDC) poor risk metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) rarely respond to first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) including sunitinib, and carries a very poor prognosis. In recent years, combination therapy involving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated superior efficacy to sunitinib in poor risk disease. Materials andMethods:
In a retrospective study using a cancer chemotherapy registry, 206 consecutive patients with mRCC in the first-line setting were identified between Oct 2019 and Dec 2020. Sixty-one patients had a poor risk mRCC, and were treated with TKI monotherapy (n=36), nivolumab plus ipilimumab (n=16), or pembrolizumab plus axitinib (n=9). Endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), response rate (RR), and safety.Results:
Patients' median age was 61 years and the median number of risk factors was 3 (range, 3-5). During a median 23.0 months of follow-up, the median OS was 24.3 months with ICI-based combinations and 14.8 months with TKI monotherapy, and the median PFS periods were 9.3 months and 3.4 months, respectively. An objective response occurred in 60% of the patients receiving ICI-based combinations and in 19% of those receiving TKI monotherapy (P=0.001). In the multivariate regression model, number of IMDC risk factors and the ICI-based combination therapy were independent prognostic factors for PFS. All-causality grade 3 or 4 adverse events were 44% for ICI-based combinations and 50% for TKI monotherapy.Conclusions:
Among patients with poor risk mRCC, first-line ICI-based therapy showed significantly longer OS and PFS, as well as a higher RR, than TKI monotherapy.
