- |||||||||| First-Line Immunotherapy-Based Combinations for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis (Room 222) - Apr 10, 2022 - Abstract #AUA2022AUA_1547;
In patients with =1% PD-L1 expression, the highest likelihood of better PFS was associated with lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab and nivolumab plus ipilimumab Conclusions : Our network meta-analysis suggests that ICI-TKI combinations provide superior PFS, ORR, and OS over ICI-ICI combinations, regardless of the IMDC risk group. However, ICI-ICI combination could be the optimal treatment for tumors with increased PD-L1 expression.

ICI-combination therapy was associated with significantly better OS/PFS than sunitinib in patients who had undergone CN (hazard ratio [HR], 0.67, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.59–0.77/HR, 0.57, 95% CI, 0.44–0.74, respectively, both P<0.001), and in those who had not (HR, 0.69, 95% CI, 0.57–0.85/ HR, 0.63, 95% CI, 0.52–0.77, respectively, both P<0.001)...In network meta-analyses, nivolumab plus cabozantinib was the most effective regimen in those undergoing CN, and pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib for those not undergoing CN...Careful patient selection remains paramount. As each ICI-combination regimen varied widely in its effect in those who had and had not undergone CN, CN may contribute to better treatment decision-making for ICI combination therapy recipients.

Retrospective data, Journal: Risk Factors of Proteinuria in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Receiving Lenvatinib. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 5, 2022 Multivariate analysis revealed that pre-existing proteinuria at baseline (hazard ratio (HR), 9.72; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.29-52.21; p = 0.030), and eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m at baseline (HR, 4.49; 95% CI, 1.32-16.07; p = 0.017) were significantly associated with developing grade ≥2 proteinuria. These patients should be monitored carefully, and our preliminary data should be confirmed by further studies.
