Naomi B. Haas, MD, discusses the use of VEGF tyrosine kinase inhibitors as neoadjuvant therapy for renal cell carcinoma.

Updated data from the ongoing phase 1b/2 trial of batiraxcept in combination with cabozantinib shows favorable outcomes in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

A biotherapeutic led to improved efficacy of immunotherapy in a phase 1 study of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

During a live virtual event, Moshe Ornstein, MD, discussed the results of the CLEAR trial of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab in renal cell carcinoma and participants' experiences with these agents.

A reduction in cabozantinib dosage because of toxicity shows improved time to treatment failure and overall survival in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Vitaly Margulis, MD, discussed the function and findings of metabolomics in renal cell carcinoma.

During a Targeted Oncology case-based roundtable event, Scott Tykodi, MD, PhD, discussed the data supporting various treatment options for renal cell carcinoma with participants.

Updated findings from the phase 3 KEYNOTE-564 trial may further support adjuvant pembrolizumab as a new standard of care for patients with renal cell carcinoma with high risk of recurrence.

NeoAvAx trial results show that neoadjuvant avelumab/axitinib may be beneficial to patients with renal cell carcinoma.

A 3-year analysis of updated data from the phase 3 CheckMAte 9ER trial shows the better health-related quality of life outcomes for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma on nivolumab plus cabozantinib.

A subgroup analysis of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab showed similar results to the global population of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who participated in the phase 3 CLEAR trial.

Three immune cell-related factors appear to impact response or lack of response to treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab in patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

In a final overall survival analysis of CheckMate 9ER, investigators saw a continued survival benefit with first-line nivolumab plus cabozantinib compared with sunitinib in the intention-to-treat patients with untreated clear cell metastatic or advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Tivozanib as first-line treatment showed noninferiority compared with other tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma in a real-world setting. This is an attractive option for patients due to tivozanib’s tolerable safety profile.

Lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab demonstrated clinical benefit in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma regardless of their biomarker status.

Time to event end points and response rates were similar regardless of which first-line immunotherapy was administered, according to an analysis conducted by the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium

New data presented during the Genitourinary Cancers Symposium support the using cabozantinib after immunotherapy without new safety signals.

Patients with urothelial cancer whose tumors overexpress c-Met may benefit from this unique combination.

Cabozantinib administered in the neoadjuvant setting to patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma may be beneficial, but more research is needed to confirm.
