A multicenter retrospective study to evaluate real-world clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and brain metastasis treated with ipilimumab and nivolumab
Journal of Clinical Oncology Feb 28, 2020
Brown LC, Desai K, Kao C, et al. - Researchers performed this multicenter retrospective study to evaluate the outcomes of I+N (combination of ipilimumab & nivolumab) in mRCC patients (pts) with brain metastasis in a real-world setting. They recruited pts who received I+N for mRCC and brain metastases at the Duke Cancer Institute and Cleveland Clinic. This study included 17 pts with a median age of 60 (29% were female) who were treated with I+N. Among pts evaluable for response, the objective response rate was estimated to be 42%; with 29% attaining stable disease and 18% progressive disease as their best response. An immune-related adverse event occurred in 59% of pts. Disease progression was mainly responsible for treatment discontinuation. A PR was reported in 50% patients treated in the second-line or greater setting. Overall, findings revealed the clinical effectiveness of I+N in this real-world cohort of mRCC patients with brain metastasis.
