A total of 794 patients had information available on IMDC risk classification of those, 127 patients (16.0%) had favorable risk, 442 (55.7%) had intermediate risk, and 225 (28.3%) had poor risk. Results Among 1085 patients with mRCC who received first-line IO combination therapies, 899 patients (median age, 62.8 years 666 male ) had evaluable responses.

Secondary outcomes included the identification of baseline characteristics positively associated with objective imaging response and the association of objective imaging response with overall survival. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was the difference in treating physician–assessed objective imaging response based on the type of first-line IO combination therapy received. A total of 899 patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of mRCC who received treatment with a first-line IOVE or IOIO regimen and had evaluable responses were included.Įxposures Best overall response to first-line IO combination therapy based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1. A data set from the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) was used to identify consecutive patients with mRCC who received treatment with IO combination therapies between May 30, 2013, and September 9, 2021. Objective To compare the likelihood of objective imaging response (ie, complete or partial response) to first-line IO combination ipilimumab-nivolumab (IOIO) therapy vs approved IO with vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (IOVE) combination therapies among patients with mRCC.ĭesign, Setting, and Participants This multicenter international cohort study was nested in routine clinical practice. Importance The association between treatment with first-line immuno-oncology (IO) combination therapies and physician-assessed objective imaging response among patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) remains uncharacterized.
COSMIC DISCLOSURE PLUS
Meaning This study’s findings suggest that combination therapies with first-line immune checkpoint blockade plus vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor were more likely to be associated with objective imaging response than doublet immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Objective imaging response was associated with improvement in overall survival among patients receiving both types of therapy. Question Do contemporary first-line therapy options for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) have different likelihoods of objective imaging response (complete or partial response), and is objective imaging response associated with overall survival?įindings In this cohort study involving 899 patients with mRCC, treatment with immune checkpoint blockade plus vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor combination therapies was more likely to be associated with objective imaging response than doublet immune checkpoint blockade therapy after adjustment for baseline demographic and clinical characteristics, including International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium risk criteria.
