    Abstract: To investigate the prognostic impact of tumor burden in patients receiving nivolumab plus ipilimumab as first-line therapy for previously untreated metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Methods We retrospectively evaluated 62 patients with IMDC intermediate- or poor-risk mRCC, treated with nivolumab plus ipilimumab as first-line therapy at five affiliated institutions. Tumor burden was defined as the sum of diameters of baseline targeted lesions according to the RECIST version.1.1. We categorized the patients into two groups based on the median value of tumor burden (i.e., high vs. low). The association of tumor burden with progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR) with nivolumab plus ipilimumab treatment was analyzed. Results The median tumor burden was 63.0 cm (interquartile range: 34.2–125.8). PFS was significantly shorter in patients with high tumor burden (n = 31) than in those with low tumor burden (n = 31) (median: 6.08 [95% CI: 2.73–9.70] vs. 12.5 [4.77–24.0] months, P = 0.0134). In addition, OS tended to be shorter in patients with high tumor burden; however, there was no statistically significant difference (1-year rate: 77.3 vs. 96.7%, P = 0.166). ORR was not significantly different between patients with high and low tumor burden (35 vs. 55%, P = 0.202). Multivariate analysis of PFS further showed that tumor burden was an independent factor (HR: 2.22 [95% CI: 1.11–4.45], P = 0.0242). Conclusions Tumor burden might be a useful factor for outcome prediction, at least for PFS prediction, in patients receiving nivolumab plus ipilimumab for mRCC. Further prospective studies are warranted to confirm our findings.

    Abstract: To investigate the long-term follow-up outcomes of nivolumab monotherapy for previously treated metastatic renal cell carcinoma, using real-world data. Methods A total of 121 patients were treated with nivolumab monotherapy as subsequent therapy after the failure of prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy between January 2013 and December 2021 at four affiliated institutions. To evaluate the outcome after 2 years or more, we selected patients in whom nivolumab therapy was started in December 2019 or earlier because data collection was performed until the end of December 2021. Results Seventy-four patients were evaluated. During the median follow-up period of 25.8 months, 62 (84%) and 40 (54%) patients had disease progression and died, respectively. Nivolumab was administered as second-line therapy in 43 patients (58%). The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 5.52 and 31.1 months, respectively, and objective response rate was 36%. There was no difference in progression-free survival or overall survival based on the treatment line of nivolumab (P = 0.915, P = 0.559). The magnitude of tumor response and development of immune-related adverse events were significantly associated with progression-free survival (P  & lt; 0.0001, P  & lt; 0.0001, respectively) and overall survival (P  & lt; 0.0001, P = 0.0002, respectively). Treatment-related adverse events developed in 38 patients (51%), including 33 (45%) who had immune-related adverse events. Steroid administration was needed in nine patients (12%). Conclusions The present real-world multi-institution study with long-term follow-up data demonstrates that nivolumab monotherapy is effective for previously treated metastatic renal cell carcinoma, prolonging survival, improving tumor response and has a manageable safety profile.

    Abstract: To explore the therapeutic role of deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with nivolumab plus ipilimumab. Patients and methods Forty-one patients with synchronous metastatic renal cell carcinoma who received nivolumab plus ipilimumab as first-line systemic therapy at our affiliated institutions were retrospectively evaluated. We focused on the prognosis, including tumor responses in primary kidney and metastatic lesions in patients treated with deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy. In addition, the overall survival according to nephrectomy status (i.e. deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy vs. upfront cytoreductive nephrectomy vs. without cytoreductive nephrectomy) was compared. Results During a median follow-up period of 12.0 months, seven (30%) patients received deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy at a median time of 10.4 months after nivolumab plus ipilimumab initiation. All the patients showed tumor shrinkage in their primary kidney lesions, including six (86%) patients with ≥30% of shrinkage. Metastatic lesions were also shrunk by ≥30% in six (86%) patients, including two (29%) obtaining complete response. At the last time of follow-up, three (43%) patients were disease-free. The overall survival rate after nivolumab plus ipilimumab initiation tended to be higher in patients with deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy compared with those with upfront cytoreductive nephrectomy (1-year survival rate: 100% vs. 72.4%, P = 0.0587) and those without cytoreductive nephrectomy (vs. 58.2%, P = 0.0613). Conclusions The present retrospective data showed that deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy had the potential to exert a therapeutic effect in a subset of patients who obtained favorable tumor responses to nivolumab plus ipilimumab for a certain period. Prospective randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm the prognostic impact of deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy after frontline immunotherapy in synchronous metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

    Abstract: Prognostic impact of sex in patients with malignancies treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors has been intensively discussed but remains unclear, especially in advanced renal cell carcinoma. Methods We retrospectively evaluated a total of 184 patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma treated with either nivolumab plus ipilimumab combined treatment as first-line therapy (n = 73) or nivolumab as later-line therapy (n = 111) at our affiliated institutions. Progression-free survival, overall survival and objective response rate as well as adverse event profile were compared between sexes. Results Of the total 184 patients, 48 (26%) were female. Female patients had a significantly shorter progression-free survival than male patients (median: 3.8 vs. 8.3 months, P = 0.0005), but overall survival (median: 39.2 vs. 45.1 months, P = 0.283) and objective response rate (29% vs. 42%, P = 0.119) were not different between them. Similar findings were observed when analyzing within each treatment; in both patient groups treated with nivolumab plus ipilimumab combined therapy and nivolumab monotherapy, progression-free survival was significantly shorter in female than in male patients (P = 0.007, P = 0.017), but overall survival (P = 0.914, P = 0.117) and objective response rate (P = 0.109, P = 0.465) were comparable between them. Moreover, in a more restricted cohort consisting of patients with clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, a shorter progression-free survival in female patients was also observed (3.8 vs. 11.0 months, P  & lt; 0.0001). Conclusions This retrospective study showed that immune checkpoint inhibitors-based treatment for renal cell carcinoma exhibited less marked effects in female than in male patients. Thus, sex may be an important factor for decision-making on systemic therapy as renal cell carcinoma treatment, although further studies are required to validate the present findings.

    Abstract: Real-world data of cabozantinib after failure of immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced renal cell carcinoma in Japanese population are limited. Additionally, prognostic factors of cabozantinib in this setting are still unknown. Methods We retrospectively evaluated data of 56 patients treated with cabozantinib subsequent to failed immune checkpoint inhibitors at four institutions. Regarding the efficacy profile, progression-free survival, overall survival and objective response rate were assessed. In terms of the safety profile, rate of adverse events, dose reduction and treatment interruption were assessed. Furthermore, risk factors of progression-free survival were analyzed. Results Twenty-nine patients (52%) were treated with cabozantinib as second-line therapy. Most frequent prior immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment was nivolumab plus ipilimumab combination therapy as first-line therapy (n = 30, 54%). Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 9.76 and 25.5 months, respectively, and objective response rate was 34%. All patients experienced at least one adverse event, and grade ≥ 3 adverse events were observed in 31 patients (55%). Forty-four (79%) and 31 (55%) patients needed dose reduction and treatment interruption, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that reduced initial dose (i.e. & lt;60 mg) (hazard ratio: 2.50, P = 0.0355) and presence of lymph node metastasis (hazard ratio: 2.50, P = 0.0172) were independent factors of shorter progression-free survival. Conclusion Cabozantinib in Japanese patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who failed immune checkpoint inhibitors was efficacious and had a manageable safety profile. These results appear to be similar to those of previous clinical trials.
