Background: The incidence of RCC increases with age with the highest incidence at ~75 years of age (Znaor, Eur Urol 2015). The Phase 3 METEOR trial (NCT01865747) showed a significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS; HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.45–0.74; P < 0.0001), overall survival (OS; HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.53–0.83, P = 0.0003), and objective response rate (ORR; 17% vs 3%; P < 0.0001) for cabo compared with eve in patients with advanced RCC previously treated with VEGFR TKIs (Choueiri, NEJM 2015, Lancet Oncol 2016). Here we present outcomes by 3 categories of age for the METEOR trial. Methods: 658 patients were randomized 1:1 to cabo (60 mg qd) or eve (10 mg qd). Stratification factors were MSKCC risk group and number of prior VEGFR TKIs. Endpoints included PFS, OS, and ORR. Subgroup analyses by age ( < 65, 65 to 74, and ≥75 years) are presented. Results: At baseline, 60% of patients were < 65 years old, 31% were 65 to 74 years old, and 10% were ≥75 years old. Subgroups by age generally had similar baseline characteristics in both arms. The HRs for PFS favored cabo for all age groups (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.41–0.68 for < 65 years old; 0.53, 95% CI 0.37–0.77 for 65 to 74 years old; and 0.38, 95% CI 0.18–0.79 for ≥75 years old). ORR per independent radiology committee for cabo vs eve was 15% vs 5% for < 65 years old, 21% vs 2% for 65 to 74 years old, and 19% vs 0% for ≥75 years old. HRs for OS also favored cabo (HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.54–0.95 for < 65 years old; 0.66, 95% CI 0.44–0.99 for 65 to 74 years old; and 0.57, 95% CI 0.28–1.14 for ≥75 years old). Median OS for cabo vs eve was 21.4 mo vs 17.1 mo for < 65 years old, not reached vs 18.0 mo for 65 to 74 years old, and 18.4 mo vs 14.0 mo for ≥75 years old. Older patients more frequently had dose reductions (60% with cabo and 22% with eve for < 65 years old vs 85% with cabo and 36% with eve for ≥75 years old). Grade 3 or 4 adverse events were generally consistent with the safety profiles in the overall population although some events such as fatigue and hypertension occurred at a higher rate in older patients. Conclusions: Treatment with cabo improved PFS, ORR, and OS compared with eve in patients with advanced RCC irrespective of age. Adverse events in older patients were more frequently managed with dose reductions. Clinical trial information: NCT01865747
