Background: 25-30% of renal cell carcinoma presents with metastases (mRCC) at diagnosis. The activity of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-combinations on the primary tumor (PT) is debated. Patients andMethods: mRCC patients (pts) with PT who received first-line nivolumab plus ipilimumab (N/I) or pembrolizumab plus axitinib (P/A) were included. We investigated the early primary tumor response (EPTR) at the first radiological assessment. Results: 73 pts were included. The median early reduction of the PT longest diameter was 12.4% with P/A versus 6.2% with N/I (p = 0.42). We evaluated if the type of EPTR could affect the metastases response. Among pts with PT stable disease (SD), 8.3% had metastatic disease progression (PD) with P/A and 34.8% with N/I. Early PT partial response (PR) was associated with no metastatic PD with both N/I and P/A. The 2 pts with PT PD had also metastatic PD to P/A. Of the 3 PT with PD to N/I, 1 had metastatic SD and 2 PD. In the overall population, of the 94.1% without PT progression (PR+SD), 47.5% had metastatic PR, 35.6% SD, 16.9% PD. Conclusions: ICIs-combinations achieved an early PT PR in about 10-20%, without any complete responses. Only a small percentage of PT had an early PD, mainly associated with metastatic PD. However, among those PT without an early progression, metastatic PR can be achieved in approximately 50% of cases.

Abstract

Background: 25-30% of renal cell carcinoma presents with metastases (mRCC) at diagnosis. The activity of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-combinations on the primary tumor (PT) is debated. Patients andMethods: mRCC patients (pts) with PT who received first-line nivolumab plus ipilimumab (N/I) or pembrolizumab plus axitinib (P/A) were included. We investigated the early primary tumor response (EPTR) at the first radiological assessment. Results: 73 pts were included. The median early reduction of the PT longest diameter was 12.4% with P/A versus 6.2% with N/I (p = 0.42). We evaluated if the type of EPTR could affect the metastases response. Among pts with PT stable disease (SD), 8.3% had metastatic disease progression (PD) with P/A and 34.8% with N/I. Early PT partial response (PR) was associated with no metastatic PD with both N/I and P/A. The 2 pts with PT PD had also metastatic PD to P/A. Of the 3 PT with PD to N/I, 1 had metastatic SD and 2 PD. In the overall population, of the 94.1% without PT progression (PR+SD), 47.5% had metastatic PR, 35.6% SD, 16.9% PD. Conclusions: ICIs-combinations achieved an early PT PR in about 10-20%, without any complete responses. Only a small percentage of PT had an early PD, mainly associated with metastatic PD. However, among those PT without an early progression, metastatic PR can be achieved in approximately 50% of cases.
