The Hypothesis

Neoadjuvant therapy in metastatic RCC can:

  • Occur safely in context of surgery
  • Downsize tumors
  • Spare surgery in futile patients
  • Affect PFS and possibly OS

Neoadjuvant Bevacizumab and Primary Tumor Site Response

Jonasch E et al. JCO 2009;27:4076-4081

  • N=23 Bev + Erlotinib
  • N=27 Bev alone
  • 44/50 went to surgery (88%)
  • 6/50 progressed (poor risk)
  • Greater than 50% with some reduction
  • Delayed wound Healing in 20%

  • 1 complete response

  • 58% had stable disease.
  • PFS comparable at 11.0 mos
  • OS was at 25.4 mos
  • Safely Tolerated

MSKCC Criteria in Patients on Neoadjuvant Sunitinib

Powles T et al. Ann Oncol 2011;22:1041-1047

Sunitinib in Non‐Resectable Patients‐Retrospective Data

  • 19 patients with advanced RCC unsuitable for nephrectomy
  • Received 50mg Sunitnib in 4/2 pattern
  • Partial responses in 3/19; 7/19 had stable disease; 9/19 had progression.
  • 4/19 (21%) of the patients later underwent nephrectomy
  • No unexpected complications and only 1 patient discontinued treatment

due to toxicity

  • 5 patients or 25% died of disease progression within 6 mos (T3 disease and

higher and peritoneal disease)

Orange indicates partial response, and blue indicates stable disease per RECIST.

Surgical Outcomes with Neoadjuvant Axitinib in RCC

  • 22 Patients did 12 week course
  • 28.3% median reduction of diameter
  • 11/24 had Partial response
  • 13/24 stable disease
  • No progression of disease while on

  • No grade 4 or 5 complications noted

Take Homes on Neoadjuvant Therapy in mRCC

  • Randomized Trials and Retrospective Data Demonstrating Safety
  • Downsizing Apparent in Many Cases, converting ‘unresectable’ patients
  • Spared Surgery in Futile Patients
  • Phase III Trial Ongoing

Given Safety, Downsizing, and Ability to Spare Futile Surgery, Data Support Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy vs. Upfront Surgery in ‘unresectable’ and metastatic RCC patients
