e17516 Background: Patient-reported outcomes (PRO), including health-related quality of life (HRQL), were assessed in a Phase III trial of everolimus in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients. Methods: Patients with mRCC were randomized (n=416) to receive everolimus or placebo plus best supportive care. Patients completed the FACT-Kidney Symptom Index- Disease Related Symptoms (FKSI-DRS) and EORTC-QLQ C30 at baseline and monthly during treatment. Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) was also assessed at baseline and monthly during treatment. Primary analyses included time to deterioration defined as a decrease from baseline of at least 3 points for FKSI-DRS, at least 10% for EORTC Physical Function (PF) and Global Quality of Life (QL) scales, and at least 10 points for KPS. Secondary analyses considered tumor progressions that occurred prior to deterioration or censoring date as FKSI deterioration events and compared time to PRO deterioration by tumor progression. Comparisons were made using stratified log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazard models. Results: Time to deterioration in KPS was longer in the everolimus arm, and time to deterioration in FKSI-DRS was slightly longer ( Table ). There was no difference in time to deterioration in PF or QL. Secondary analyses showed median time to deterioration in FKSI-DRS was approximately doubled for the everolimus arm compared to placebo, and patients who progressed experienced a more rapid deterioration in FKSI-DRS and QL scores. Conclusions: Compared to placebo everolimus delayed progression of disease-related symptoms and KPS. No effect on time to deterioration of PF or QL could be determined. Secondary analyses suggest a delay in deterioration in kidney cancer related symptoms via tumor control. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

With 15 drugs currently approved for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and even more combination regimens with immunotherapy on the horizon, there remains a distinct lack of molecular biomarkers for therapeutic efficacy. Our study reports on real-world clinical outcomes of mRCC patients from a tertiary academic medical center treated with empirically selected standard-of-care therapy. We utilized the Stanford Renal Cell Carcinoma Database (RCCD) to report on various outcome measures, including overall survival (OS) and the median number of lines of targeted therapies received from the time of metastatic diagnosis. We found that most metastatic patients did not survive long enough to attempt even half of the available targeted therapies. We also noted that patients who failed to receive a clinical benefit within the first two lines of therapy could still go on to experience clinical benefit in later lines of therapy. The term, “clinical benefit” was assigned to a line of therapy if a patient remained on drug treatment for three months or longer. Moreover, patients with clinical benefit in at least one line of therapy experienced significantly longer OS compared to those who did not have clinical benefit in at least one line of therapy. Developing biomarkers that identify patients who will receive clinical benefit in individual lines of therapy is one potential strategy for achieving rational drug sequencing in mRCC.
