Recent Advances in Tivozanib plus Nivolumab Combinatorial Strategies in Renal Cell Carcinoma

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: The treatment landscape of advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) has witnessed significant benefits from the introduction of VEGF TKI/ICI (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor/immune checkpoint inhibitor) combination in the first-line treatment. Such outcome benefits could extend to the relapsed/refractory setting with an effective, well-tolerated novel combination. Since the U.S. FDA approval of tivozanib monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory advanced RCC following two or more prior systemic therapies,1 there is growing interest in exploring its full potential in combination with anti-PD-1 like ICI agents. In this roundtable discussion, internationally renowned cancer experts brainstorm the potential immunomodulatory capabilities of tivozanib plus nivolumab combination as first-liane and beyond settings in patients with metastatic RCC. The expert panel also explore potential data from previous and ongoing clinical trials and shared their perspectives about a tolerable safety profile and promising antitumor efficacy
