Thomas E. Hutson, DO, PharmD, on RCC: Overall Survival Analysis of Lenvatinib, Pembrolizumab, and Sunitinib

2023 ASCO Annual Meeting

Thomas E. Hutson, DO, PharmD, of Texas Oncology, discusses the 4-year follow-up results from the CLEAR study for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The data showed that lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab continues to demonstrate clinically meaningful benefit vs sunitinib in overall and progression-free survival, as well as in overall and complete response rates, in first-line treatment (Abstract 4502).

Thomas E. Hutson : On behalf of my co-investigators, I presented the final pre-specified overall survival from the Phase 3 CLEAR study with nearly four years follow up. The Phase 3 CLEAR study was an international randomized trial comparing Lenvatinib pembrolizumab, Lenvatinib everolimus versus Sunitinib as first-line therapy for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. This data had previously been reported when it met its primary efficacy endpoint, which was improvement in progression-free survival. At that time of that presentation, the secondary endpoints of overall survival and objective response rates were also statistically significant. This resulted in regulatory approval of this regimen and rapid incorporation of this regimen as a major frontline therapy option for patients with advanced RCC throughout the world. This information was also previously published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Now, with additional 23 months follow up, pleased to report that our overall survival is maintained with a hazard ratio of 0.79, and our other efficacy signals such as progression-free survival and response rate remain robust with this longer follow-up. There were also no new additional safety signals. So in conclusion, we're pleased to report with additional nearly four years of follow-up the overall survival progression-free survival and objective response rates remain significant and robust when compared with Sunitinib with no new safety signals of the regimen. And Pembrolizumab and Lenvatinib remain a primary therapy for patients with advanced RCC.

Alberto Bossi, MD, of Institut Gustave Roussy, discusses phase III findings showing that combining prostate radiotherapy with systemic treatment did not improve overall survival in men with de novo metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer and low metastatic burden. However, best outcomes (radiographic progression–free-survival and overall survival) were observed in men receiving the standard of care plus abiraterone acetate plus prednisone with radiotherapy (Abstract LBA5000).

Bobbie J. Rimel, MD, of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and Isabelle L. Ray-Coquard, MD, PhD, of Centre Léon Bérard and the University Claude Bernard Lyon Est, discuss findings from the COLIBRI trial, which showed that, for patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma, neoadjuvant nivolumab plus ipilimumab is safe and orchestrates de novo immune responses. The 82.5% complete response rate for primary tumors 6 months after standard chemoradiation therapy suggests favorable clinical outcomes (Abstract 5501).

The data showed that, in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have not yet been treated with B-cell maturation antigen–directed therapies, elranatamab was efficacious and well tolerated.

Metabolomic differences impacted by environmental exposures (arginine biosynthesis and dietary red meat) were also noted, suggesting possible links with younger age of onset in this disease (Abstract 3510).
