This activity will help clinicians to develop a treatment plan when considering the use of new and emerging systemic treatments for their patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC).
The standards of care for aRCC have been evolving at an ever-accelerating pace over the last 20 years. Improvements in the understanding of the immunogenic nature and pathogenic drivers of this disease uncovered synergistic mechanisms between immunotherapies and antiangiogenic treatments that were previously used in single-agent treatment strategies.
This led to the new “gold standard” of first-line treatment for aRCC, which is to combine immuno-oncology (IO) using the immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that block vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors. This combination strategy has extended progression-free survival and overall survival beyond what could previously be hoped for with TKI or ICI monotherapy.
Determining which patient should receive which combination has become a complex question with no clear consensus. As additional combination strategies advance in clinical trials, the question gets ever-more complicated.
This program will increase your ability to assess the efficacy and safety data from new and emerging combinations and aid your treatment decision-making process for these patients.
