Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab in Intermediate- or Poor-Risk Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
10/29/2018
According to a study, patients with intermediate- or poor-risk disease, median overall survival was not estimable in the nivolumab/ipilimumab group vs 25.9 months in the sunitinib arm (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.63, P < .0001). Median progression-free survival was 11.6 vs 8.4 months (HR = 0.82, P = not significant). The objective response rate was 41.6% vs 26.5% (P < .0001). The efficacy of the combination was not established in patients with favorable-risk disease.
