Nivolumab versus Everolimus in Advanced Renal-Cell Carcinoma

TLDR
Overall survival was longer and fewer grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred with nivolumab than with everolimus among patients with previously treated advanced renal-cell carcinoma.
Abstract
BackgroundNivolumab, a programmed death 1 (PD-1) checkpoint inhibitor, was associated with encouraging overall survival in uncontrolled studies involving previously treated patients with advanced renal-cell carcinoma. This randomized, open-label, phase 3 study compared nivolumab with everolimus in patients with renal-cell carcinoma who had received previous treatment. MethodsA total of 821 patients with advanced clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma for which they had received previous treatment with one or two regimens of antiangiogenic therapy were randomly assigned (in a 1:1 ratio) to receive 3 mg of nivolumab per kilogram of body weight intravenously every 2 weeks or a 10-mg everolimus tablet orally once daily. The primary end point was overall survival. The secondary end points included the objective response rate and safety. ResultsThe median overall survival was 25.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 21.8 to not estimable) with nivolumab and 19.6 months (95% CI, 17.6 to 23.1) with everolimus. The haz...

Emerging strategies for treating metastasis.

TL;DR: Kang et al. as discussed by the authors discuss recent advances in our understanding of tumor-intrinsic pathways driving metastatic colonization and therapeutic resistance, as well as immune-activating strategies to target metastatic disease.

Toxicity in combination immune checkpoint inhibitor and radiation therapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The random effects model showed comparable grade 3-4 toxicity in using ICI + RT compared to ICI alone in CNS melanoma metastases, NSCLC, and prostate cancer, suggesting ICi + RT is safe for future clinical trials in these cancers.

Prognostic value of PD-1 and PD-L1 expression in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

TL;DR: PD-1 expression is significantly associated with adverse clinicopathological features in CCRCC and could be one of the biomarkers suggesting poor outcome in patients with metastatic C CRCC receiving molecular targeted therapies.

Association of PD-L1 expression status with the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and overall survival in solid tumours: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that PD‐1/PD‐L1 inhibitors significantly improved OS in both PD‐L 1 positive and PD‐ l1 negative patients compared to controls, but the magnitude of benefit was clinically PD‐ L1‐dependent.
