In this interactive patient case, you'll meet a 50-year-old man diagnosed with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).  As you work through the case, you'll consider suitable first-line options, how to define progression in a long-term durable response, and how to know when it's the right time to switch to second-line therapy.

 

Along the way, you'll answer questions at key points and engage with clickable resources to deepen your understanding of: 

  • The efficacy and safety profiles of targeted and immunotherapies for advanced RCC 
  • How to implement targeted and immunotherapies into the treatment strategy of patients with advanced RCC, and the optimal sequencing of treatments 
  • How to treat those patients who achieve prolonged responses on 1L therapy

 

Clinical Takeaways

  • Clinical guidelines recommend a frontline combination with either IO-IO or IO-TKI for IMDC intermediate/poor risk patients with advanced ccRCC 
  • Patients who achieve a prolonged response on first-line therapy can continue on this treatment until clinical and radiographical disease progression occurs  
  • To ensure optimal sequencing of treatments, patients should receive a VEGF-targeted therapy that has not been used previously in combination with immunotherapy
