Background: Recently, the GRANT (GRade, Age, Nodes, and Tumor) score was validated through an adjuvant trial population. Methods: This retrospective study evaluated the performance of the GRANT score as a prognostic model for disease-free survival (DFS), compared to the University of California Los Angeles Integrated Staging System (UISS) score, in a “real-life” population of early renal cell carcinoma patients. A uni-/multivariate analysis of DFS was also performed, to weigh the roles of baseline clinical factors. Results: From February 1998 to January 2018, 134 consecutive patients were enrolled, of which 85 patients (63.4%) had a favorable GRANT score, 49 (36.6%) an unfavorable GRANT score, and 21 (15.7%), 84 (62.6%), and 29 (21.6%) patients had a low, intermediate, or high risk of recurrence according to the UISS score, respectively. The median follow-up was 96 months. The median DFS of the overall study population was 53.7 months (95% CI: 38.4-87.8). Only bilateral renal cell carcinoma (p = 0.0041), Fuhrman grade 3/4 (p = 0.0008), pT3b- 4 (p = 0.0324), and pN1-2 (p = 0.0303) pathological status were confirmed as independent predictors of a shorter DFS by the multivariate analysis. The median DFS of patients with favorable and unfavorable GRANT scores were 84.9 (95% CI: 49.8-129) and 38.4 months (95% CI: 24.4-87.8), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.0147). The median DFS of patients with low, intermediate, and high risk of recurrence according to the UISS score were 92.3 (95% CI: 18.1-153.9), 51.7 (95% CI: 36.2-87.8), and 49.8 months (95% CI: 31.3-129), respectively, without statistically significant differences (p = 0.4728). DFS c-statistic values were 0.59 (95% CI: 0.51-0.67) and 0.51 (95% CI: 0.42-0.60) for the GRANT and the UISS scores, respectively. Conclusion: The GRANT score might be a useful tool that is user-friendly and easy to perform in clinical practice.

4502 Background: Patients with no evidence of disease (NED) after metastasectomy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) are at high risk of recurrence, but no systemic therapy has been shown to benefit this population. Pazopanib is an inhibitor of VEGFR and other kinases that improves progression-free survival in patients with measurable RCC metastatic disease. We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study to test the hypothesis that pazopanib would improve disease-free survival in patients with mRCC rendered NED after metastasectomy Methods: Patients with NED following metastasectomy were randomized 1:1 to receive pazopanib starting at 800 mg daily vs. placebo for 52 weeks. Patients were stratified by 1 vs. > 1 site of resected disease, and by disease-free interval ≤ vs. > 1 year. Clinical assessment for toxicity and patient-reported outcomes were performed every 4 weeks, and restaging scans every 12 weeks. The study was designed to observe a 42% improvement in disease-free survival (DFS) from 25% to 45% at 3 years. Results: From August 2012 to July 2017, 129 patients were enrolled. The study was unblinded after 83 DFS events had been observed (92% information). The median follow-up from randomization was 30 months (range 0.4 – 66.5 months). The study did not meet the primary endpoint: hazard ratio (95% CI) for DFS was 0.85 (0.55, 1.31) p= 0.47 in favor of pazopanib. At the time of unblinding, 22/129 (17%) of subjects had died. The HR for overall survival (OS) was 2.65 (1.02, 6.9) in favor of placebo ( p= 0.05). Patient-reported outcomes and laboratory correlates will be reported separately. Conclusions: 52 weeks of pazopanib did not improve DFS compared to blinded placebo in patients with mRCC who were NED after metastasectomy. There was a trend toward worse overall survival with pazopanib. Clinical trial information: NCT01575548.

384 Background: Long-term oncologic outcomes for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are limited. The objective of this study was to assess the long-term oncological efficacy of RFA for treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Methods: Between 1998 and 2008, 311 biopsy-proven RCC were treated with RFA in 274 patients. Exclusion criteria included history of prior RCC or known metastatic RCC at time of RFA (n=92). 26 patients were lost to follow-up prior to their 6-month imaging study. We retrospectively reviewed the long-term oncologic outcomes for 193 patients. Mean follow-up was 4.6 yrs (range 1–12, SD 2.3). Results: Median age was 71 years (IQR: 63 –79 years). Median Charlson Score was 5.46 (IQR: 5–6). Median size of tumor treated was 3 cm (IQR: 2–3.9 cm, range 1–7.1cm) and 64 of these tumors (33%) were endophytic. Tumor breakdown by stage was T1a: n=153 (79%), T1b: n=37 (19%), and T2: n=3 (2%). Initial treatment success rate was 89%. There were 6 local recurrences (3%) in 4 patients with T1b disease and 2 patients with T2 disease with an average time-to-recurrence of 2.9 years (SD 0.7). 95% of patients with T1a RCC were disease free at last follow-up, in comparison to 81% of those with T1b and 33% of those with T2 disease (p=0.008). At last follow-up 178 (92%) patients were disease-free. 16 (8.2%) developed metastatic disease and 4 patients (2%) died of RCC. Mean disease-free survival was 4.3 years (SD 2.4). Conclusions: In patients who are poor surgical candidates, RFA results in durable local control and a low risk of disease recurrence in T1 RCC. Higher stage, however, correlates with a decreased disease free survival and alternate treatments should be considered when counseling these patients.
