    Abstract: 304 Background: Current treatment principles for advanced nccRCC have been largely extrapolated from guidelines for clear cell RCC. Given the emerging randomized data for select nccRCC subtypes, real-world outcomes for these patients are informative particularly in the contemporary checkpoint inhibitor era. Methods: We performed an analysis using the Canadian Kidney Cancer information system (CKCis), a prospective database involving 14 academic centers, on nccRCC patients undergoing first-line systemic therapy between January 2011 – December 2019. Treatment groups were defined as receipt of: vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (VEGF-TKI), mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTORi), and PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI, mono- or combination therapy). Primary outcome was 1-yr overall survival (OS) rate. Secondary outcomes were median time to treatment failure ((TTF, months), defined as treatment discontinuation, change or death) and objective response rate (ORR, %). Results: We identified 265 nccRCC patients: 204 (77.0%) received VEGF-TKI, 19 (7.2%) received mTORi and 42 (15.8%) received ICI-based first-line therapy (Table). Overall, median age was 64 years, 75% were male, 84% were classified as IMDC intermediate/poor risk, and 16% underwent prior nephrectomy. Twenty-three percent of patients were enrolled in clinical trials. Patients received primarily sunitinib (81%) or pazopanib (15%) in the VEGF-TKI group (other: 4%), while mTORi-treated patients received temsirolimus (74%) or everolimus (26%). For the ICI-based treatment group, most patients received combination therapy as ipilimumab-nivolumab (71%) or pembrolizumab-axitinib (26%), with 3% receiving ICI monotherapy. 1-yr OS was 65.2% for VEGF-TKI, 57.9% for mTORi and 69.0% for ICI-treated patients. Median TTF was 3.3 for VEGF-TKI, 3.5 for mTORi and 7.1 mos for ICI-treated patients. ORR was 17%, 5%, and 37% respectively for the VEGF-TKI, mTORi and ICI-treated groups. Conclusions: We describe the effectiveness of first-line therapy for patients with nccRCC from a national database. This real-world data suggests an association between first-line ICI-based therapies and improved outcomes, albeit with cabozantinib not available for the indication during this time. Our data supports consensus recommendations for preferred use of ICI-based or VEGF-TKI over mTORi as first-line therapy in nccRCC.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 633 Background: I+N is now standard of care for first line treatment of intermediate/poor risk mRCC patients (pts). Real world data is vital to understand drug usage, toxicity and outcomes in non-trial pts. This project describes the amount and tolerability of treatment delivered including discontinuation rates, reasons for discontinuation and outcomes from the CKCis database. Methods: Pts in CKCis, a prospective Canadian database from 15 academic centers, who received first line I+N were included. The number of doses of I+N, number of pts who received single-agent nivolumab (N) and duration of single agent N were determined. Reasons for treatment discontinuation, including the rate, type, and grade of toxicities were identified. Efficacy outcomes included time to failure (TTF – time to progression, death, or second line therapy), overall response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS). Results: The cohort consists of 182 pts. Median age was 63 yrs, 71% had clear cell histology, 11% were on a clinical trial, the IMDC risk distribution was 5% good, 63% intermediate, 32% poor. Median follow up was 8.8 m. All 4 I+N doses were received by 30% of pts of which 78% went on to receive single-agent N. Less than 4 doses of I+N were received by 70% of pts of which 28% went on to receive single-agent N. The median time on single agent N was 5.7 m. In the entire cohort, 21% of patients discontinued therapy due to toxicity. The most common toxicity events were colitis (56% of all events), pneumonitis (19%), and hepatitis (8%). There were no toxicity-related deaths. Median OS has not been reached (22 events to date). Median TTF was 12.4 m. ORR was 32% (5% complete responses). 26% of pts received second line treatment, the most common being sunitinib in 79%. Conclusions: In this real world cohort, the majority of mRCC pts did not receive all 4 doses of I+N, contrasting with clinical trial reporting, yet many of these pts went on to receive single agent N. Discontinuation rates due to toxicity were similar to those reported in CheckMate 214. Further follow up is ongoing and efficacy outcomes analyzed on the basis of treatment quantity/duration will be presented.

    Abstract: 682 Background: Cabozantinib is a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has demonstrated efficacy in mRCC randomized trials. Less is known about the activity of cabozantinib in patients (pts) exposed to immuno-oncology (IO) agents. We explored the real-world effectiveness of cabozantinib, including in pts who had progressed on IO therapy. Methods: Using CKCis, a prospective Canadian database, pts treated with cabozantinib monotherapy as second-line or later were identified. Baseline clinical and treatment characteristics were collected. Rates of partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD) and disease control (DCR, PR+SD) were determined along with median time to treatment failure (mTTF) and median overall survival (mOS). Results: A total of 156 pts were identified. Median age was 62 years (range 21-84), 74% of pts had clear-cell histology, and 54% had 〉 3 sites of metastases (12% in CNS, 47% in bone). At time of cabozantinib start, 34% had KPS score 〈 80. Outcomes are described below. Conclusions: The effectiveness of cabozantinib observed in this real-world population was consistent with results from clinical trials. Cabozantinib also appears to provide benefit to mRCC pts who have progressed on prior IO therapy, and should be incorporated into contemporary treatment algorithms. Further follow up is ongoing.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 667 Background: Recent research suggested that patients (pts) with small renal masses (4cm or less) were at low risk of disease recurrence after surgery. The impact of tumor size on survival in mRCC patients treated with targeted therapy (TKI) is unclear. Methods: Two cohorts were identified from the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC). Cohort 1 pts had initial nephrectomy for M0 RCC and subsequently developed metastasis during follow-up. Cohort 2 pts presented with de novo metastasis with or without cytoreductive nephrectomy. Cox regression was performed to assess the associations of primary tumor size (≤4 vs 〉 4cm) and overall survival (OS) on first line TKI, adjusted for histology, sarcomatoid features, tumor stage, number of metastasis, IMDC risk groups and age at TKI initiation. Results: 4089 pts with mRCC treated with first line TKI had primary tumor size data available. Patient characteristics were generally balanced between tumor size groups (≤4 vs 〉 4cm), except pts with ≤4cm tumors were more likely to have single metastasis (29% vs 18%, p = 0.001) and less likely to have IMDC poor risk (32% vs 39%, p = 0.04) in pts from cohort 2. For pts from cohort 1, tumor size at initial nephrectomy did not impact OS after TKI initiation (p = 0.689). However, in pts presenting with de novo metastasis (cohort 2), small primary tumors were associated with improved OS after TKI initiation, but only in T1-2 tumors (Table). Conclusions: Tumor size impacts survival outcome with targeted therapy in mRCC patients presenting with de novo metastasis and T1-2 disease. This may need to be taken in consideration in clinical trial designs. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 316 Background: Cabozantinib (cabo) is an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with activity in mRCC. TKI toxicity, an indicator of adequate drug exposure, has been associated with clinical effectiveness for sunitinib, pazopanib, and axitinib. We explored whether cabo dose reductions (a surrogate for toxicity) were associated with improved clinical outcomes in mRCC. Methods: Using the CKCis database, we performed an analysis of patients treated with cabo in the second-line or later between 2011-2021. We divided the cohort into those needing a dose reduction (DR, defined as less than the starting dose at time of treatment discontinuation) and those who did not (no-DR). We compared outcomes by dose reduction status, including objective response rate (ORR), time to treatment failure (TTF), and overall survival (OS). Results: We identified 260 patients who received cabo, of which 103 (41.0%) needed a DR. Across all lines, the ORR was similar between the DR and non-DR groups: 19.6% vs. 18.9% (p = 0.903) respectively. The median TTF was 12.75 months (95% CI 10.38 – 17.64) in the DR group vs. 6.44 months (95% CI 5.49 – 8.67) in the no-DR group. After adjusting for IMDC risk, the hazard ratio (HR) for TTF comparing DR vs. no-DR was 0.69 (95% CI 0.50 - 0.97, p-value = 0.03). The median OS was 29.6 months (95% CI 19.58 – 42.64) in the DR group vs. 15.28 (95% CI 11.04 – 22.64) in the no-DR group. After adjusting for IMDC risk, the HR for OS comparing DR vs. no-DR was 0.65 (95% CI 0.43 - 0.98, p = 0.04). Conclusions: Cabozantinib dose reductions, a surrogate for toxicity and adequate drug exposure, appear to be associated with improved TTF and OS in mRCC. Toxicity driven/individualized dosing strategies for cabo alone and in combination with immunotherapy, warrant further investigation.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 620 Background: Up to one-third of patients with mRCC can present with asymptomatic brain metastases (BM). Timely identification of BM allows for the delivery of early local interventions, which may lead to improved patient outcomes. To investigate the potential utility of routine intra-cranial imaging, we compared the outcomes of mRCC patients with asymptomatic versus symptomatic BM. Methods: Using the Canadian Kidney Cancer information system (CKCis) database, we identified mRCC patients diagnosed with BM between 2011 and 2018. This cohort was divided into two groups dependent on the presence or absence of neurological symptoms. Baseline patient demographics, clinico-pathological disease characteristics and survival data were extracted. Statistical analysis was through chi-square tests, analysis of variance and Kaplan-Meier method to characterize survival outcomes. Results: 269 mRCC patients with BM were identified with the majority presenting with symptomatic disease (n=163; 61%). No significant differences in clinico-pathological disease characteristics were identified. Median overall survival (OS) from mRCC diagnosis for asymptomatic patients was 33.4 months (interquartile range, IQR 27.8-64.4) versus 34.5 months (20.4-43.4) for symptomatic patients (p=0.35). Median OS from time of BM diagnosis revealed a trend favoring asymptomatic, as compared to symptomatic, patients [24.5 (17.6-24.9) vs. 13.1 months (9.0-20.6), p=0.06]. Factors associated with worse OS from time of BM diagnosis included presentation with symptomatic BM [hazard ratio, HR (95% CI): 1.40 (1.03-1.90), p=0.034] and International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Consortium Database (IMDC)-characterized intermediate/poor risk disease [HR (95% CI): 1.47 (1.01-2.13), p=0.045]. Conclusions: Routine intra-cranial imaging may lead to earlier identification of BM in mRCC. However, further investigation as to whether this practice improves survival is warranted.

    Abstract: 684 Background: Immuno-Oncology (IO) combinations are standard of care first-line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Data on therapy with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) post-progression on IO-combination therapy are limited. Methods: Using the IMDC, a retrospective analysis was done on mRCC patients treated with second-line VEGF TKIs after receiving IO combination therapy. Patients received first-line ipilimumab+nivolumab (IOIO) or anti-PD(L)1+anti-VEGF (IOVE). Baseline variables and second-line IMDC risk factors were collected. Overall response rates (ORR), time to treatment failure (TTF) and overall survival (OS) were determined. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was performed. Results: 142 patients were included. 75 patients received IOIO and 67 received IOVE pretreatment. The ORR of 2nd line therapy was 17/46 (37%) and 7/57 (12%) in the IOIO and IOVE pretreated groups, respectively (p 〈 0.01). 2nd-line TTF was 5.4 months (95% CI 4.1-8.3) for the IOIO- and 4.6 months (95% CI 3.7-5.8) for the IOVE-pretreated group (p=0.37). 2nd-line median OS was 17.2 months (95% CI 10.8-35.1) and 11.8 months (95% CI 9.9-21.3) for the prior IOIO and IOVE groups, respectively (p=0.13). The hazard ratio adjusted by IMDC for IOVE vs IOIO pretreatment was 1.22 (95% CI 0.73-2.07, p=0.45) for 2nd line TTF and 1.43 (95% CI 0.74-2.8, p=0.29) for 2nd line OS. Conclusions: VEGF TKIs show activity after combination IO therapy. Response rates are higher in patients treated with VEGF TKIs after first-line IOIO compared to after IOVE. In patients with VEGF TKI after IOIO or IOVE, no difference in OS and TTF was observed.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 361 Background: Characteristics of patients with high risk for recurrence non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (nmRCC) participating in adjuvant therapy clinical trials post-nephrectomy have not been well described. We evaluated high risk nmRCC patients in the CKCis database to explore differences between trial and non-trial patients. Methods: Adult patients undergoing partial or radical nephrectomy for clear cell nmRCC between January 1, 2011 and March 31, 2021 were included. CKCis is a prospective cohort of patients from 14 Canadian academic institutions. Patients with high risk nmRCC (using modified UCLA Integrated Staging System) were included. Demographic, clinical, and survival statistics were analyzed for all patients and comparatively for the trial and non-trial groups. Results: 1459 patients, including 63 in adjuvant trials, were evaluated. 71% were male, 91% had pT3N0M0 disease. Disease characteristics including tumor size, stage, grade, location, necrosis, and margin status were similar between groups. Trial patients were younger (mean age 58.1 vs. 63.6; p 〈 0.0001) and had lower Charlson Comorbidity Index scores (median 4 [3,6) vs. 5 [4,6] p 〈 0.001). Estimated overall survival (OS) at 5 years was 80.8% (95% CI, 65,90) for trial patients and 74.8% (95% CI, 71,78.2) for non-trial patients. Recurrence-free survival at 5 years for trial patients was 48.6% (95% CI, 34,61.7) and 39.2% (95% CI, 35.2,43.1) for non-trial patients. Conclusions: Patients in adjuvant trials were younger and healthier at baseline than the average high risk nmRCC CKCis patient. Trial patients appear to have had longer time to recurrence and longer survival compared to non-trial patients, although not reaching statistical significance. Selection bias is common in clinical trials and evaluation of real-world population-based evidence of patients receiving adjuvant therapy will be important to ensure phase 3 trial results have external validity.

    Abstract: 4578 Background: While the CARMENA trial prompts more caution with upfront cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), 17% of patients in the sunitinib alone arm underwent deferred CN (dCN). Upfront systemic therapy has been proposed as a potential litmus test to identify patients suitable for CN, but data on outcomes are limited. We sought to characterize outcomes of dCN after upfront sunitinib relative to sunitinib alone. Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed mRCC receiving upfront sunitinib were identified from the International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC) from 2006-2018. All CNs done after initial sunitinib were included, excluding CNs performed after sunitinib failure. The outcomes were overall survival (OS) and time to treatment failure (TTF). Kaplan Meier and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed; dCN was analyzed as a time-varying covariate to account for immortal time bias. Results: The cohort included 708 patients of whom 53 (7.5%) underwent dCN at a median of 6.5 months (IQR 3.5,10.5) from diagnosis. Patients in the dCN group were more likely to have better Karnofsky performance status (KPS), intermediate IMDC risk, fewer metastatic sites, and response to upfront sunitinib (Table). There were 604 deaths during a median follow-up of 63 months. Median OS and TTF with dCN were 43.5 and 19.8 months vs. 9.4 and 4.3 months without, respectively. Upon multivariable analysis, dCN remained significantly associated with OS (HR 0.45, 95%CI 0.31-0.65; p 〈 0.001) but not TTF (HR 0.73, 95%CI 0.52-1.01; p = 0.056). Conclusions: Patients who received dCN were carefully selected and achieved long OS. With these benchmark outcomes, optimal selection criteria need to be identified and confirmation of the role of dCN in a clinical trial is warranted. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 4516 Background: Active surveillance (AS) is a commonly used strategy in patients (pts) with low tumor burden or slow growing disease. However, few studies have assessed AS for mRCC compared to immediate treatment. We aimed to assess the outcomes and safety of AS in comparison to immediate systemic treatment for mRCC pts. Methods: Using CKCis, mRCC pts diagnosed between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2016 were identified. AS strategy was defined as: (1) start of systemic therapy ≥6 months after diagnosis of mRCC; or (2) never receiving systemic therapy for mRCC with an overall survival (OS) ≥1 yr (OS ≥ 1 yr a surrogate to exclude pts not started on treatment due to poor prognosis). Pts starting systemic treatment 〈 6 months after diagnosis of mRCC were defined as receiving immediate systemic treatment. OS and time until 1 st line treatment failure (TTF) between the two cohorts were compared. Results: A total of 863 pts met criteria for AS (cohort A). Of these, 370 started treatment ≥ 6 months after their initial diagnosis (cohort A1) and 493 never received systemic treatment and were alive for ≥1 year (cohort A2). 848 pts received immediate systemic treatment (cohort B). Median age for pts in cohort A and B was 65.1 (19.0-91.5) vs. 62.2 yrs (23.1-87.1) (p 〈 0.0001). Sex distribution was not statistically different. Pts in cohort A had fewer sites of metastatic disease vs. cohort B ( 〈 0.0001) and 23% of pts in cohort A had metastasectomy vs. 5% in cohort B (P = 〈 0.0001). Five-year OS probability was significantly greater for cohort A than for cohort B (70.2% vs. 32.1%; P 〈 0.0001). After adjusting for IMDC risk criteria and age, both OS (HR 0.46, 0.38-0.56, P 〈 0.0001) and TTF (HR 0.79, 0.69-0.92, P = 0.0021) were greater in cohort A1 vs. B. For cohort A1 the median time on AS was 14.2 m (range 6 – 71). Conclusions: Based on the largest analysis of AS in mRCC to date, our data suggest that a subset of pts may be safely observed without immediate initiation of systemic therapy. Prospective validation is required in the contemporary immunotherapy era.
