Just out in ESMO open ESMO - Eur. Oncology With 44.0 months of median follow-up nivolumab/cabozantinib continues to outperform sunitinib in M1 clear cell RCC. The 3 VEGF/TKI combinations have more similarities than differences and track each other with longer follow up gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

The anti–programmed death 1 antibody pembrolizumab was approved by the U.S. FDA as adjuvant therapy after surgery for renal-cell carcinoma on the basis of improvements in disease-free survival observed in KEYNOTE-564. Data on overall survival are needed. nej.md/3TVLuKz

Subset data from belzutifan vs everolimus study in pretreated clear cell RCC . We thought belzutifan would be better in good risk disease and with fewer lines of therapy but these data suggest that’s not the case. Biomakers will need to be biological rather than clinical

Updated data with lenvatinib and Pembrolizumab in 158 1st line advanced non-clear cell renal cancer . 8 mnths extra FU. RR= 50% seems higher than sunitinib. 18 month mPFS and 80% 12 month OS also looks ⬆️, but randomised trials such as SAMETA and XL92/nivo remain important

Adjuvant pembrolizumab shows a significant and clinically meaningful OS benefit in intermediate and high risk clear cell renal cancer for the 1st time (KN564). This further tips the balance towards giving adjuvant pembro in this setting NEJM Toni Choueiri, MD nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Data from the control arm of adjuvant bladder cancer trials (CM274 and Ambassador250) suggests ~35% get no further therapy after relapse (accounting for censoring). Excellent sites. Chemo is globally available. Regular CT follow should catch early & treat. Any easy explanations?

Subsequent treatment of control arm of adjuvant trials is causing controversy due to subsequent IO access. In the +ve renal & bladder studies 81%/48% and ~62%/~36% received further therapy/IO respectively.However the figure below shows these analysis are time dependant & complex

Trial in progress: the HER2/MMAE ADC disitimab Vedotin +pembro vs chemotherapy +\-avelumab in advanced UC(HER2+ve). DVs efficacy looks ⬆️ also with IO. Tox profile looks distinct with ? ⬇️ skin tox? Results will be considered in the context of other +ve 1st line studies

New data from EV302 Enfortumab Vedotin & pembrolizumab for upper tract disease (~25% of pts). UTUC has distinct biological features including more FGFR alterations. PFS & OS HR of 0.50 & 0.53 respectively in the subset is in line with the whole population (0.45 and 0.47)
