Neoadjuvant, Renal Cell Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
The study included 298 RCC patients who were at high risk for recurrence after nephrectomy (T2G3-4 or T3-4 or N1). They were randomly divided to receive axitinib plus PD-1 + surgery or surgery alone at a ratio of 1:1, so as to determine the efficacy of the neoadjuvant combination of axitinib plus PD-1.
Detailed description
Given the good results of TKI plus PD-1 in our previous cases and its good effect on advanced RCC, we plan to eliminate tumor micrometastases and improve anti-tumor immunity with the neoadjuvant combination of axitinib plus PD-1, so as to improve patient outcomes. The study included 298 RCC patients who were at high risk for recurrence after nephrectomy (T2G3-4 or T3-4 or N1). They were randomly divided to receive axitinib plus PD-1 + surgery or surgery alone at a ratio of 1:1, so as to determine the efficacy of the neoadjuvant combination of axitinib plus PD-1 and provide evidence-based medical evidence for clinical perioperative treatment of these patients.
Interventions
Preoperative treatment with axitinib will be given for 3 months, 5 mg twice daily, orally. Preoperative treatment with Toripalimab will be given for 4 cycles (3 weeks considered one cycle), 240 mg, Q3W.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| disease-free survival (DFS) | 2 years | To evaluate the efficacy of the neoadjuvant combination of axitinib plus PD-1 in improving the 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) in RCC patients with high-risk for recurrent (T2G3-4 or T3-4, or N1). Disease-free survival (DFS) is defined as time from registration to disease progression or death. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The cancer-specific survival (CSS) | 3 years | cancer specific survival (CSS) is defined as the period between the date of randomization and the date of death from renal cancer. |
| overall survival (OS) | 3 years | overall survival (OS) is defined as the period between the date of randomization and the date of death from any cause |
| objective response rate (ORR) | 3 years | CR and PR rate as assessed by RECIST 1.1 |
| major pathological response (MPR) | 3 years | MPR (≤10% viable malignant cells per local pathology assessment) |
| adverse event management | 3 years | Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 |
