Abstract

Introduction: Adjuvant pembrolizumab versus placebo significantly improved disease-free survival (DFS) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients at high risk of recurrence following nephrectomy in KEYNOTE-564 trial (NCT03142334). The objective of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of adjuvant pembrolizumab in a real-world setting.

Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, RCC patients receiving adjuvant pembrolizumab between 01/22 and 10/23 at seven tertiary referral centers were included. DFS and treatment safety were assessed.

Results: 52 patients with RCC were included. 24 (46%), 5 (9.6 %), 22 (42%) and 1 (1.9%) patients were classified as intermediate to high risk (IR to HR), high risk (HR), M1 with no evidence of disease (M1NED) and unknown. At a median follow-up of 6 months, DFS rates at 6 months were 64.2% in the overall cohort. In subgroup analyses, M1NED patients demonstrated significantly lower DFS compared to non-metastatic (combined: IR to HR/ HR) patients (log rank: p=0.025). Regarding toxicity, grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred in 26% of patients. Treatment discontinuations were reported in 20% of the patients.

Conclusion: Recurrence rates in the M1NED group remained high and occurred earlier in our real-world compared to KEYNOTE-564. Long-term toxicities were comparable to clinical trials data.

期刊介绍： Concise but fully substantiated international reports of clinically oriented research into science and current management of urogenital disorders form the nucleus of original as well as basic research papers. These are supplemented by up-to-date reviews by international experts on the state-of-the-art of key topics of clinical urological practice. Essential topics receiving regular coverage include the introduction of new techniques and instrumentation as well as the evaluation of new functional tests and diagnostic methods. Special attention is given to advances in surgical techniques and clinical oncology. The regular publication of selected case reports represents the great variation in urological disease and illustrates treatment solutions in singular cases.
