First-line Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Combinations in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: Where Are We Going, Where Have We Been?

Jacob J. Adashek et al.

Summary: The combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy has significantly improved outcomes in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. However, there is still a challenge in identifying biomarkers and predicting response to these agents. Targeting multiple clones within heterogenic tumors that respond to both types of therapy may explain the improved response rates observed in combination approaches.

The Frontline Immunotherapy-Based Treatment of Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: Current Evidence and Clinical Perspective

In-Ho Kim et al.

Summary: Approximately 400,000 patients are diagnosed with kidney cancer annually worldwide, resulting in approximately 170,000 deaths. Clear cell RCC is the most common subtype, accounting for about 85% of metastatic RCC cases. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors has shown promising results and become the standard of care for advanced clear cell RCC.

Nivolumab, nivolumab-ipilimumab, and VEGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors as first-line treatment for metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (BIONIKK): a biomarker-driven, open-label, non-comparative, randomised, phase 2 trial

Yann-Alexandre Vano et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the feasibility and positive impact of prospective patient selection based on tumor molecular phenotype to choose the most effective treatment between nivolumab with or without ipilimumab and a VEGFR-TKI in the first-line treatment of metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.

Validation analysis of a composite real-world mortality endpoint for patients with cancer in the United States

Qianyi Zhang et al.

Summary: The study expanded the assessment of mortality variable and utilized a nationwide electronic health record database for data analysis. Compared with the National Death Index, the composite mortality variable showed high sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and +/- 15-day agreement across all 18 cancer types analyzed.

Evaluating eligibility criteria of oncology trials using real-world data and AI

Ruishan Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that using a data-driven approach to broaden trial eligibility criteria can increase the number of eligible patients and decrease the hazard ratio of overall survival. Many patients who were initially not eligible under the trial criteria could potentially benefit from the treatments.

A 25 year perspective on the evolution and advances in an understanding of the biology, evaluation and treatment of kidney cancer

Daniel M. Geynisman et al.

Summary: In the 21st century, the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of patients with renal cell carcinoma have transformed from blunt surgical and largely ineffective medical treatments to nuanced and fine-tuned approaches based on biology, extent of disease, and patient preferences. This progress in kidney cancer over the past 25 years has been summarized in this review.
