Abstract 663P
Background
First-line (1L) nivolumab + cabozantinib (N+C) significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and objective response rate (ORR) vs sunitinib (S) in aRCC pts in the phase III CheckMate 9ER trial. Pts without upfront nephrectomy have poor prognoses and clinical trial data in this population remain limited. Assessment of how different baseline characteristics may impact outcomes with N+C vs S in aRCC pts is of clinical interest.
Methods
Pts with any IMDC risk and clear cell aRCC were randomized to N 240 mg IV Q2W + C 40 mg PO QD vs S 50 mg PO QD (4 weeks of 6-week cycles). In this post hoc exploratory analysis, efficacy was evaluated in subgroups with and without prior nephrectomy. PFS and ORR were assessed per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review.
Results
Of 651 intent-to-treat (ITT) pts, 455 had prior nephrectomy (N+C, n = 222; S, n = 233) and 196 had no prior nephrectomy (N+C, n = 101; SUN, n = 95). Of pts with prior nephrectomy, 24.3% (N+C) and 30.9% (S) underwent nephrectomy within 3 months of enrollment. Baseline characteristics were generally balanced between arms within subgroups. Versus pts without prior nephrectomy, a higher proportion of pts with prior nephrectomy had a lower tumor burden, more favorable IMDC risk scores, and derived greater efficacy benefits with either N+C or S. Notably, N+C improved PFS, ORR, complete response, and response durability outcomes vs S regardless of nephrectomy status (Table). Of evaluable pts without prior nephrectomy, median reduction in target kidney lesions was 30% (N+C; n = 53) vs 16% (S; n = 51). OS benefits were observed with N+C vs S in pts with prior nephrectomy; longer follow-up is needed to characterize OS outcomes between arms in pts without prior nephrectomy. Table: 663P

Conclusions
N+C provided improved efficacy benefits vs S in pts with and without prior nephrectomy. These results continue to support N+C as a 1L treatment option for pts with aRCC.
