Cabozantinib Versus Sunitinib For Previously Untreated Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (Rcc) Of Intermediate Or Poor Risk: Subgroup Analysis Of Progression-Free Survival (Pfs) And Objective Response Rate (Orr) In The Alliance A031203 Cabosun Trial.

582Background: The randomized phase 2 CABOSUN trial (NCT01835158) compared cabozantinib (C) with sunitinib (S) as initial systemic therapy in patients (pts) with RCC of intermediate or poor risk. Compared with S, C improved both PFS and ORR as assessed by independent radiology review committee (IRC). Median PFS per IRC was 8.6 mo for C vs 5.3 mo for S (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.31-0.74 two-sided p = 0.0008), and ORR per IRC was 20% vs 9%. Methods: 157 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive C (60 mg qd) or S (50 mg qd, 4 weeks on/2 weeks off) stratified by International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) risk group and the presence of bone metastases. Subgroup analyses of PFS per IRC and ORR per IRC are presented based on stratification factors, age, sex, baseline ECOG status, and MET tumor expression by immunohistochemistry. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed PFS. PFS and ORR were evaluated by IRC in a post-hoc analysis. Results: 45% of pts were ≥65 years, 78% were male, 54% w...
