Targeted Therapies, Immunotherapies, Immunomodulators: A Quick Guide to Cancer Therapy Descriptions
Sometimes the distinctions between cancer treatment groups are a little blurry. Here’s a guide to their definitions and origins.
Renal Cell Carcinoma
Phase 1 RCC Vaccine Is Safe, But Lacks Clinical Response
RCC vaccines are predominantly being developed using autologous tumor cells, dendritic cells, genetically modified tumor cells, and peptides.
No Benefit to Modified Dosing of Lenvatinib-Everolimus in Advanced RCC
Modified dosing of lenvatinib-everolimus did not improve tolerability and may have modestly decreased efficacy compared with standard dosing in advanced RCC.
Phase 2 Study Initiated for HIF-2α Agent in Relapsed/Refractory RCC
A phase 2 trial has been initiated to evaluate a HIF-2α inhibitor for the treatment of advanced RCC after progression with another therapy.
Modified Nivolumab-Ipilimumab Dosing Shows No Benefit in Advanced RCC
A modified dosing regimen of nivolumab-ipilimumab for patients with advanced RCC did not provide additional benefit compared with standard dosing.
Phase 3 Trial of Nivolumab With or Without Ipilimumab for Localized RCC After Nephrectomy
A phase 3 randomized placebo-controlled trial is recruiting to evaluate nivolumab plus ipilimumab among patients with localized RCC at risk of relapse after nephrectomy.
Phase 3 Trial in RCC: Atezolizumab Plus Cabozantinib After Progression With ICIs
A phase 3 randomized active-controlled trial will evaluate atezolizumab plus cabozantinib among patients with advanced RCC whose disease progressed with ICIs.
Phase 3 Trial Planned for Cabozantinib Plus Nivolumab-Ipilimumab in RCC
A double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial is planned to evaluate cabozantinib plus nivolumab and ipilimumab as first-line treatment for advanced clear cell RCC..
Low, But Increasing, Use of Palliative Care Seen in RCC
Patients who were Black, had higher incomes, or who had undergone surgery were less likely to receive palliative care.
COVID-Related Surgical Delays May Be Acceptable for Some Patients With Localized RCC
Surgical delays due to COVID-19 may be safe for some patients with localized RCC, and are unlikely to compromise survival for some individuals.
