836P - Treatment and Outcome(S) of a Large Cohort of Poor Risk Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (Prrcc) Patients (Pts)

Abstract

ABSTRACT Aim: With the exception of the Temsirolimus (Tem) registration trial, prRCC is grossly underrepresented in clinical trials. Methods: We collected information on a large cohort of prRCC (239 pts) from 20 Italian and 2 Spanish centers. Results: Three prognostic models (MSKCC, modified MSKCC - mMSKCC, International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium - DC) and 8 individual risk factors (RF) were considered: multiple metastatic sites (89%), time from diagnosis to treatment (82%), and anaemia (77%) were the most frequent individual RF. Eighty-nine percent, 63%, and 61% of pts had at least 3 RF according to mMSKCC, MSKCC, and DC, respectively; mMSKCC had the best discriminating power between intermediate and prRCC (median OS: 28 vs 8 mos, respectively; p 6 mos) was 44% and was significantly higher for pts receiving first-line TKI versus Tem (50% vs 26%, p = 0.002). Age, nephrectomy status, mMSKCC, and total number of RF, but not the type of treatment received (Tem vs VEGFR-TKI), were independently associated with OS at multivariate analysis. Thirty seven percent of prRCC pts survived >12 mos (29% and 40% in pts receiving Tem and VEGFR-TKI, respectively). Basal Hb and calcium levels within normal limits were significantly associated with higher chances of achieving long-term survival upon VEGFR-TKI treatment, while a non-significant trend towards a higher proportion of long-term survivors upon Tem treatment was observed for longer time from diagnosis to treatment and normal LDH levels, in an exploratory analysis of predictive factors. Conclusions: Despite heterogeneity, prRCC may benefit from systemic treatment across multiple lines of therapy. Further prognostic/predictive stratification within the prRCC group is clearly necessary (see also the abstract by Guida et al. at this Meeting).
