BackgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have increased in prevalence for the treatment of metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC) in recent years given their efficacy and favorable toxicity profile. However, there has been insufficient investigation in the literature of how clinical outcomes differ on the basis of race. In this paper, we investigated differences in clinical outcomes between African American (AA) and Caucasian mRCC patients treated with ICI therapy.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study of 198 patients with mRCC who received ICI at the Emory Winship Cancer Institute from 2015–2020. Clinical outcomes were measured by overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and clinical benefit (CB). OS and PFS were calculated from ICI-initiation to date of death and radiographic or clinical progression, respectively. CB was defined as a best radiographic response of complete response, partial response, or stable disease maintained for at least 6 months per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors version 1.1. The association of self-identified race with OS and PFS was generally modeled by Cox proportional hazards model. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used for binary outcomes of CB. The univariate association of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and non-clear-cell RCC (nccRCC) with race was assessed using Chi-square test.ResultsOur cohort was made up of 38 AA (19%) and 160 Caucasian (81%) patients. Most of the patients were diagnosed with ccRCC (78%) and more than half received PD-1 monotherapy (57%). Most patients were international mRCC database consortium (IMDC) intermediate (57%) or poor-risk (25%) groups. AA patients displayed significantly shorter PFS (HR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.01–2.3, p=0.045) and trended towards decreased CB (OR=0.51, 95% CI: 0.22–1.17, p=0.111) in MVA (table 1). There was no difference in OS (HR=1.09, 95% CI: 0.61–1.95, p=0.778) between the two racial groups in MVA (table 1). On Kaplan-Meier method, AA patients had shorter median OS (17 vs 25 months, p=0.3676) and median PFS (3.1 vs 4.4 months, p=0.0676) relative to Caucasian patients (figure 1). Additionally, AA patients more commonly had nccRCC compared to Caucasian patients (41.7% vs 17.5% nccRCC, p-0.002). AA patients also trended towards a lower incidence of irAEs compared to Caucasian patients in UVA (23.7% vs 35.8%, p=0.153).Abstract 223 Table 1*MVA controlled for age, race, gender, IMDC risk group, number of prior lines of therapy, PD-1 monotherapy, and ccRCC**statistical significance at alpha < 0.05Abstract 223 Figure 1African-American (black) and Caucasian (white) for OS (left panel) and PFS (right panel)ConclusionsIn this group of mRCC patients treated with ICI, African American patients had significantly shorter PFS compared to Caucasian patients. These findings suggest race could play a role in the management of late-stage mRCC. Larger, prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.AcknowledgementsResearch reported in this publication was supported in part by the Breen Foundation and the Biostatistics Shared Resource of Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University and NIH/NCI under award number P30CA138292.

African American Caregivers

“Testing Tele-Savvy” was a three-arm randomized controlled trial that recruited participants from four National Institute on Aging (NIA)–funded Alzheimer’s Disease Centers with Emory University serving as the coordinating center. The enrollment process involved each center providing a list of eligible caregivers to the coordinating center to consent. Initially, the site proposed to recruit primarily African American caregivers generated a significant amount of referrals to the coordinating center, but a gap occurred in translating them into enrolled participants. To increase the enrollment rate, a “Handshake Protocol” was established, which included a warm handoff approach. During preset phone calls each week, the research site coordinator introduced potential participants to a culturally congruent co-investigator from the coordinating center who then completed the consent process. Within the first month of implementation, the team was 97% effective in meeting its goals. This protocol is an example of a successful, innovative approach to enrolling minority participants in multi-site clinical trials.

Federal Intervention

In the last two decades, one of the central debates of civil rights historiography has concerned the role that the federal government played in securing the gains of the civil rights era. Historians have often been critical of the federal government's inaction, pointing out that it was only pressure from the civil rights movement itself that prompted federal action against Jim Crow. Other scholars have studied the civil rights record of the federal government by analyzing a single issue during several administrations. In this vein, there have been studies of the federal government's involvement in areas as diverse as black voting rights and racial violence against civil rights workers. These studies have both recognized the importance of federal intervention and have also been critical of the federal government's belated and half-hearted endorsement of civil rights.
