Abstract
e16526 Background: Real world evidence (RWE) on patient outcomes among early-stage non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients (pts) of different risk groups are limited. This RWE study evaluated disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) patterns and risk of OS among pts with non-metastatic RCC in the US. Methods: This retrospective analysis identified pts, age ≥18 years, with non-metastatic RCC diagnosis between 01/01/2012-12/31/2015, and surgical treatment for RCC prior to metastatic diagnosis. Pts were identified from the ConcertAI Oncology Dataset which draws electronic medical records from 100 community oncology clinics in the US and followed until 08/19/2021. Pts were stratified into intermediate (int)-high (pT2N0 high grade, pT3N0) or high risk (pT4N0, pTanyN1) RCC. Time to event outcomes (DFS, OS) were examined using Kaplan-Meier methods, and association of recurrence and 5yr OS was examined using Cox proportional hazard model, controlling for baseline and clinical characteristics. DFS was defined as time from initial nephrectomy to first recurrence or death, whichever occurred first. OS was defined as time from initial nephrectomy to death. Results: The study included 274 pts (87% int-high risk, N = 239; 13% high risk, N = 35). Overall, pts were 63.5 yrs (median age), 66% male, 78% White, and 73% had clear cell RCC. Median follow-up was 49.5 months (mths). 54% int-high and 69% high risk pts had recurrence. As seen in the table, median DFS ranged from 14.6-64.8 mths and 5yr DFS rates ranged from 10-61% across risk groups. Median OS was 83.4 mths for int-high and 78.4 mths for high risk pts; 5yr OS rate was 69% for int-high and 58% for high risk. Compared to patients without recurrence, pts with recurrence had shorter median OS (93.8 vs 69.6 mths) and lower 5yr OS rate (85% vs 57%). In pts with recurrence, 5yr OS rate was similar between int-high and high risk groups (58% and 57%). Pts with recurrence were 2.4 times (HR = 2.4; 95% CI = 1.5, 3.9) more likely to die 5 yrs post initial nephrectomy compared to pts without recurrence. Conclusions: This study confirms findings from our previous research with SEER data that pts with recurrence had an increased risk of death, compared to pts without. The DFS and OS rates observed in this RWE study are supportive of DFS and OS rates observed in the placebo arm of the KEYNOTE-564 trial. Additionally, poor DFS rates were observed within subgroups of int-high risk pts. The study results indicate the high real-world unmet need in post-nephrectomy int-high or high risk localized RCC pts, highlight the need for effective adjuvant treatments, and inform the design of future interventional trials in non-metastatic RCC pts.[Table: see text]
