Background: The use of I/N is a proven first-line option for patients with intermediate/poor IMDC prognostic criteria. The use of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors such as sunitinib have shown activity in the treatment of ccmRCC, but their effectiveness post I/N needs better characterization. This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of sunitinib, and other TKI agents post I/N in ccmRCC in a real world setting. Methods: Patients with ccmRCC who had received I/N and were subsequently treated with TKI between Jan 1, 2011 and December 31, 2019 were identified from CKCis. Time to treatment failure (TTF – time from start of first subsequent TKI to discontinuation for any reason) and overall survival (OS) – time from first subsequent TKI to death) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression was performed to adjust for IMDC criteria. RECIST criteria was used to determine best overall response (ORR) of TKI radiographically. Results: 64 patients were treated with TKI post I/N. Characteristics and outcomes are listed in the table. Of the second-line TKI patients, 51 received sunitinib, 10 received pazopanib and 3 received other TKI. Reasons for second-line TKI discontinuation are: 28% toxicity, 34% progression, 7% other reasons while 31% remain on treatment. Median follow-up time was 12.9m. ORR for second-line TKI overall and second-line sunitinib was 30.0% and 29.4%, respectively. Conclusions: These data show that TKI are active after I/N in ccmRCC. TTF may underestimate PFS due to the large number of patients discontinuing treatment for toxicity and not progression. Efficacy of second-line TKI post I/N in this dataset is similar that of first-line sunitinib from recent randomized phase III trials, suggesting that there may be no significant loss of TKI activity after having received first-line I/N. Overall, these data support the use of TKI after I/N.
