Sequential treatment with pazopanib (PAZO) followed by nivolumab (NIVO) in patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC): Third interim results of the non-interventional study PAZOREAL.

4574 Background: Randomized clinical trials for the implementation of new therapies include only a selection of patients that are later treated with these new options. Thus, real-world evidence is urgently needed not only to monitor the translation of treatment approaches into routine practice but also to improve cancer treatment and survivorship care on a broader scale. Methods: PAZOREAL is a prospective, multicenter, non-interventional study to evaluate effectiveness [primary time on drug (TD)], tolerability, safety, and quality of life (QoL) in patients (pts) with mRCC, treated with 1st L PAZO followed by 2nd L NIVO or everolimus (EVE). Results: Between Dec. 2015 and Sep. 2017, 421 pts were enrolled and 402 pts started 1st L PAZO treatment (Tx), 127 and 5 pts received NIVO and EVE as 2nd L Tx, resp., 56 entered follow-up. At time of data-cut (08 Nov 2018) median TD was 6.6 months (95%CI 6.0-7.9) for 1st L PAZO and 4.1 months (95%CI 3.2-5.8) for 2nd L NIVO (all pts), 8.1 months (95% CI 6.6-9.5) for PAZO and 3.2 (2.7-6.5) for NIVO Tx for trial eligible pts (39.1% of 402 pts). Median TD for pts with or without prior nephrectomy was 7.6 vs 4.5 months, resp. The clinical benefit rate of 1st L PAZO was 58.2 % (95% CI 53.3-62.9) based on investigator assessment. Median OS of PAZO was 29.5 months (95%CI 23.6-NA) for all pts, 28.2 months (95% CI 22.2-NA) for NIVO in 2nd L. The most commonly reported AEs for PAZO Tx were diarrhea (35%), nausea (20.3%) and fatigue (17.5%). Most common PAZO-related grade 3/4 adverse events were hypertension (5%), hypertensive crisis (2.3%) and GGT increase (1.8%). QoL evaluated by EQ-5D-5L remained stable over different Tx lines. Conclusions: The interim results of the PAZOREAL study confirm a favorable overall survival in pts with mRCC treated with 1st L PAZO in a real-world setting, good benefit-risk profile of PAZO and sustained QoL monitored over several treatment lines. In Germany NIVO as 2nd L Tx is commonly applied after 1st L Tx with PAZO.
