Abstract
The standard of care for metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC) has changed dramatically over the past decades thanks to the increasing number of treatments: anti-VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), mTOR inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI): anti PD(L)-1 used as monotherapy or in combination with anti CTLA-4 or anti angiogenic therapies. In the face of rising therapeutic options, the question of the therapeutic sequences arises: which treatment for which patient? Actually, there is a lack of predictive biomarkers. A greater understanding of the cancer biology and its interaction with the microenvironment has allowed the development of genomic signatures which could perhaps be used as predictive biomarker. This review will give an insight on some robust genomic signatures assessed in mccRCC and will have a closer look at BIONIKK phase II trial, which is the first trial to adapt treatments according to the molecular characteristics of the tumor in the context of mccRCC.
