Abstract 2613
Background
ICI and VEGFR-targeted therapies are the primary treatments for mRCC. Len plus Eve is currently approved based on improved progression-free survival (PFS) in pts with progressive disease after one prior VEGFR-targeted therapy. However, its efficacy beyond second-line, and after ICI, is not well defined.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective study of pts with mRCC who were treated with Len alone, or in combination with Eve, after at least 2 prior lines of therapy, including ICI and VEGFR-TKI. We report clinical benefit (CB), defined as partial response (PR) + stable disease (SD), PFS, overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AE).
Results
Between 11/2016 and 2/2019, we identified 40 pts with mRCC who were treated with Len +/- Eve. Median age was 59 years (range, 34-76); 62.5% were male; 52.5% had ECOG PS 1 and 35% had ECOG PS 2; 77.5% had clear cell histology; 85% had prior nephrectomy and 95% had metastatic disease in >/= 3 sites; 2.5% had IMDC favorable-risk, 87.5% intermediate-risk, and 10% poor-risk disease. The median number of prior lines of therapy was 4 (range, 2-10); 70% received Len+Eve and 62.5% were treated with Len +/- Eve as 5th-line or later. All pts had prior ICI exposure, primarily nivolumab monotherapy (70%), and 87.5% received >/= 2 prior VEGFR-TKIs. CB was achieved in 67.5% (30% PR + 37.5% SD). At a median follow up of 8.5 months (mo), median PFS was 4.2 mo (95% CI, 3.4-6.5), with a 6-mo PFS probability of 34% (95% CI, 21%-54%). Median OS was 10.8 mo (95% CI, 5.4-13.3), with a 1-year OS probability of 37% (95% CI, 21%-65%). Twenty-three pts (57.5%) have died, and of those only 4 received further therapies after Len +/- Eve. Dose reduction was required in 45% of pts, and the most common grade 3 or 4 AEs were proteinuria (17.5%), fatigue (10%), and diarrhea (10%). Treatment was discontinued in 4 pts (10%) because of toxicity.
Conclusions
Len alone and in combination with Eve demonstrated clinical benefit, with an overall response rate of 30%, and was well tolerated in heavily pretreated pts with mRCC after prior ICI and VEGFR-targeted therapies, supporting its use in this patient population.
