New guideline favors doublet therapy over triplet for metastatic renal clear cell cancer due to lower toxicity. COSMIC-313 trial shows improved progression-free survival with triplet therapy but significant adverse events.

Dr. Hammers summarizes key efficacy findings from the CLEAR study of pembrolizumab + lenvatinib vs sunitinib.

During a Targeted Oncology™ Case-Based Roundtable™ event, Robert J. Motzer, MD, examined the impact of the CheckMate 214 and CheckMate 9ER trials of nivolumab/ipilimumab and nivolumab/cabozantinib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. This is the first of 2 articles based on this event.

Bruno R. Bastos, MD, discusses the future following a study assessing the changes among patients with renal cell carcinoma who were treated with nivolumab and TPST-1120.

Dr. Hammers provides a perspective on the appropriateness of initial pembrolizumab + lenvatinib therapy based on guidelines.

Dr. Hammers discusses initial impressions of the case presentation, comparing it to typical advanced RCC, and reviewing risk factors.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Bruno Bastos, MD, discussed how TPST-1120 can help address limited treatment options for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma beyond immunotherapy and anti-VEGF tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

In our 4th episode of Emerging Experts, Minas P. Economides, MD, unveils the challenges and opportunities for renal cell carcinoma treatment, focusing on the lack of therapies available in the second-line setting.

Bruno R. Bastos, MD, discusses findings from a study which assessed the pharmacodynamic and radiographic changes among patients with renal cell carcinoma who were treated with the combination of nivolumab and TPST-1120.

Subcutaneous nivolumab coformulated with rHuPH20 showed noninferiority of PK exposures compared with intravenous nivolumab in metastatic ccRCC.

Adjuvant pembrolizumab treatment significantly improved overall survival vs placebo in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

In the phase 3 CheckMate 914 trial, the use of nivolumab did not meet the primary endpoint of disease-free survival when compared to a placebo in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma at a heightened risk of relapse following nephrectomy.

Real-world, retrospective data showed that morphologic renal cell carcinoma types and tumor-stages helps to inform recurrence and prognosis.
