Aim: To assess sorafenib survival outcomes in renal cell carcinoma patients using standard International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Data Consortium (IMDC) risk criteria. Patients & methods: The authors restratified a real-world cohort of 3255 advanced renal cell carcinoma patients, obtained from Japanese sorafenib postmarketing surveillance, to assess survival outcomes using IMDC criteria; intermediate risk was subdivided into Int-1 and Int-2 (one and two risk factors, respectively). Results: Overall, 2225 (68%) IMDC-evaluable patients were reclassified as favorable (17%), intermediate (62%) and poor (21%) risk, with median progression-free survival of 10.4, 8.1 and 3.4 months, respectively. Int-1 (36%) and Int-2 (26%) subgroups had median progression-free survival of 10.1 and 6.0 months, respectively. Sorafenib had acceptable safety/tolerability. Conclusion: Sorafenib effectiveness was promising for IMDC intermediate risk, particularly Int-1, warranting further investigation.

427 Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is known as one of the adverse events during treatment with everolimus for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Methods: We retrospectively assessed the incidence and outcome of ILD in mRCC patients treated with everolimus. From April 2010 to August 2012, 25 cases were treated with everolimus after failure of one or two TKIs in our institute. All adverse events were graded in accordance with NCI CTCAE, version 3.0. Results: A total of 25 patients received treatment with everolimus. They included 18 male and 7 female patients ranging in age from 21 to 84 years (median 62). According to MSKCC risk criteria, 6 cases were at favorable risk, 16 cases were at intermediate risk, and 3 cases were at poor risk. Median treatment term was 4 months (range 2-17 months). SD was in 19 cases and PD was in 6 cases. Progression free survival was 3.5 months and overall survival was 12 months. ILD was found in 7 cases (28%). 1 was G1, 5 were G2 and 1 was G3. Corticosteroid therapy was initiated in 3 cases. In 5 of 7 ILD cases, everolimus was re-challenged. In our series, patients with ILD showed significantly better progression free survival than those without ILD (PFS was 8 months vs. 3 months. Log-rank, p < 0.001). There were no significant different between the 2 groups in over all survival (12 months in patients with ILD vs. 10 months in patients without ILD. Log-rank, NS). Conclusions: Everolimus appears to be effective and well-tolerated in our institute. Re-challenge of everolimus was feasible after improving of everolimus-induced ILD in cases of grade 1-2.

e17077 Background: Sequential inhibition of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway with sorafenib could be useful for patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Our aim was to determine the activity and tolerability of sorafenib as a 2nd-line therapy in advanced RCC initially treated with a different VEGF-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Methods: Prospective observational cohort in Mexico City (July 2012 to July 2019). We included 148 subjects with metastatic RCC, treated by nephrectomy and who had RCC progression despite treatment with sunitinib (n = 144) or pazopanib (n = 4). All patients received sorafenib 400 mg orally twice a day on a continuous dosing schedule until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. The primary endpoint was time to progression evaluated every 12-16 weeks. Risk factors were classified according to the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC-RF) prognostic model. Results: Mean age of cohort was 58±10 years, 104 (70%) were male, 51 (35%) had none of IMDC-risk factors, and the most common sites of metastasis before sorafenib treatment were lung (n = 79, 53%) and bone (n = 30, 20%). The median progression-free survival and survival after the introduction of sorafenib treatment was 8.5 months (95% IC 6.8-10.2) and 40.1 months (95% IC 35.2-45.0) respectively. Median overall survival from RCC diagnosis to death was 71 months (95% CI 63.9-79.4). Median progression-free survival was longer in advanced RCC with none IMDC-RF compared with subjects with ≥2 IMDC-RF (10.3 [95%CI 6.1-14.6] vs 7.9 [95%CI 5.8-9.9] mo. respectively, p = 0.035). Age > 65 decreased risk of progression after sorafenib therapy (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.14-0.77, p = 0.010). Median progression-free survival in subjects > 65 yrs old was longer (14 months, 95% CI 9.2-17.9) compared to subjects ≤65 yrs (7.2 months, 95% CI 5.5-8.9, p = 0.018). Adverse events associated to sorafenib occurred in 118 (80%) subjects: hand-foot syndrome (n = 118, 80%), diarrhea (n = 113, 76%), hypothyroidism (41, 28%), and mucositis (84, 57%). Any adverse events corresponding to a grade > 2 occurred in 48 (32%) patients. Conclusions: Sequential inhibition of VEGF with sorafenib as a 2nd-line treatment may benefit patients with metastatic RCC, especially in subjects > 65 yrs old. Further clinical trials are needed.

Background Standard dosing regimen of sunitinib for metastatic renal cell carcinoma consists of four weeks treatment followed by two weeks rest (intermittent dosing). Alternative regimens have been suggested, including continuous daily dosing (continuous dosing) and non-conventional dosing (non-conventional dosing: e.g. two weeks on/one week off, non-conventional dosing), to provide more individualized therapy with less toxicities. It is unclear whether non-standard sunitinib dosing affects survival outcomes. Patients Metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients treated with sunitinib between 1 July 2007 and 1 July 2011 at our institution. Methods Medical records and dispensing data were reviewed retrospectively to categorize sunitinib dosing as intermittent dosing, continuous dosing, or non-conventional dosing. Primary outcome was to compare overall survival associated with varying regimens, with secondary outcomes of progression-free survival and incidence of treatment discontinuation due to adverse effects. Results A total of 180 patients were identified. Most patients received intermittent dosing ( n = 120, 67%), followed by continuous dosing ( n = 32, 18%) and non-conventional dosing ( n = 28, 16%). Compared to intermittent dosing, continuous dosing was associated with similar overall survival (median 9 vs. 13 months, HR 0.67, 95% CI: 0.43–1.06, p = 0.088) while non-conventional dosing was associated with significantly longer overall survival (median 9 vs. 23 months, HR 0.55, 95% CI: 0.34–0.90, p = 0.016). Progression-free survival was significantly better for continuous dosing (median 4 vs. 9 months, HR 0.61, 95% CI: 0.40–0.94, p = 0.025) and non-conventional dosing (median 4 vs. 10 months, HR 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, p = 0.03) when compared to intermittent dosing. Similar to prior sunitinib trials, a significant proportion of patients (20%) discontinued sunitinib therapy due to adverse effects. Conclusions Based on retrospective, real-world data, alternative sunitinib dosing regimens appear to be viable options for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
