(Clear cell) Renal cell carcinoma FIRST LINE: # 4501: Tivozanib phase III trial #CRA 4502: patient preference Sunitinib vs Pazopanib (PISCES) Promising results in 2nd/3rd line: #4504 Cabozantinib (XL 184): 28% RR 72%DCR, 14.7 mts PFS #4505 Anti PD-1 Ab (BMS 936558) RR 31%, PFS at 24 weeks 67%
Differences of TKI: -Different potency/affinity -Different TK spectrum/selectivity -Different half life Barghava P, Robinson OM. Curr Oncol Rep 2011;13:103-111
Renal cell carcinoma Tivozanib #4501 VEGFR 1-2-3; long half life > 3 days Oral 1.5mg/d 3 weeks on 1 week off randomized 1:1 vs sorafenib 517 pts, 70% treatment naive; 30% prior IFN 1 endpoint: PFS (independent radiol.review) PFS : 11.9 vs 9.1 mts (HR 0.756, p=0.037) PFS treatment naive: 12.7 mts vs 9.1 mts ORR 33% vs 23% (p=0.014) Toxicity: hypertension, HFS, diarrhea Motzer et al. #4501 ASCO 2012
RCC preference trial #4502 1 endpoint: patient preference at 22 weeks Other endpoints: physician pref, QoL 126 pts Escudier et al. #4502 ASCO 2012
Main reasons for preference: better QoL, less fatigue, less taste change Discrepancy to CTC AE toxicity assessment: much smaller difference Escudier et al. #4502 ASCO 2012
28% off treatment in 22 weeks Treatment period 1 Treatment period 2 End of randomised phase Primary analysis Pazopanib, n=86 Sunitinib, n=68 n=62 n=54 Withdrawals 18 (21%): 9 (10%) Adverse event 4 (5%) Lack of efficacy 1 (1%) Investigator discretion 2 (2%) Withdrew consent 2 (2%) Death Withdrawals 6 (9%): 1 (1%) Adverse event 2 (3%) Lack of efficacy 3 (4%) Death 8 excluded due to progressive disease during treatment period 1 PD on 1 paz 12 (14%) 63% Sunitinib, n=82 Pazopanib, n=68 n=64 n=60 Withdrawals 14 (17%): 7 (9%) Adverse event 3 (4%) Lack of efficacy 1 (1%) Protocol deviation 2 (2%) Withdrew consent 1 (1%) Investigator discretion Withdrawals 4 (6%): 1 (1%) Adverse event 1 (1%) Lack of efficacy 1 (1%) Death 1 (1%) Protocol deviation 4 excluded due to progressive disease during treatment period 1 PD on 1 sun 7 (9%) 73% 168 randomised 136 dosed with both drugs (ITT population) Escudier et al. #4502 ASCO 2012 126 completed questionnaires 114 in primary analysis (mitt population) 22% off treatment in 22 weeks
Renal cell carcinoma conclusions Tivozanib: new option in first line Critical points: sorafenib is not standard 1st line TKI Efficacy less impressive than expected Comparison of toxicity difficult So far not available in Switzerland Sequence of treatments: Patient preference in favor of pazopanib: BUT Efficacy comparison pazopanib sunitinib awaited New drugs will change the landscape soon

Evoting question #1 Man 74 yrs with metastatic prostate cancer very good general condition, no symptoms. Castration with LHRH agonist since 2009 (time of diagnosis of bone metastases, 4 bone mets) Currently rising PSA 21 ng/ml, doubling time 5 months, two new bone lesions in bone scan, no other metastases. How would you treat the patient? a) Start chemotherapy with docetaxel b) Start treatment with abiraterone c) Start bicalutamide, control every 6-12 weeks d) No treatment, watch and wait, control every 6-12 weeks
Evoting question #2 How will the results of the tivozanib trial and of the patient preference trial (sunitinib/pazopanib) influence your choice of first line treatment for patients with progressive metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma? a) No change of current practice, await further results b) Start using tivozanib when available c) Increase use of pazopanib
Evoting question #3 Man79 yrs, known cardiovascular disease. Prostate cancer with several bone mets diagnosed 6 months ago and started treatment with LHRH agonist. Complains of sweats, otherwise well. No bone pain. PSA has fallen under treatment from 534ng/ml to 2.5 ng/ml. How do you continue treatment? a) Continue LHRH, add calcium/vitamine D b) Continue LHRH, add calcium/vitamine D, start zoledronic acid (4mg/month) or denosumab (120mg/month) c) stop LHRH, start bicalutamide 150mg/d d) Stop LHRH, add calcium/vitamine D, check PSA 2-3 months
