ESMO 2017: SPAZO2 (SOGUG): Validation of the International Metastatic Database Consortium prognostic classification for targeted therapies as 2nd-line after 1st-line pazopanib in metastatic renal cell carcinoma
SPAZO2 was a retrospective real-world study analyzing the effectiveness of first-line pazopanib and subsequent therapies in mRCC in several settings in every day practice. Data from 530 patients from April 2011-February 2016 treated with frontline pazopanib across 50 centers in Spain were collected by investigators, but monitored and entered in a database by an external contract research organization. There were 285 patients who received anti-VEGF or mTOR inhibitors as 2nd line therapy after first-line pazopanib (37.6% everolimus, 36% axitinib, 9.9% sunitinib, 8.3% sorafenib, 2.9% cabozantinib, 2.5% temsirolimus, 2.1% pazopanib, 0.4% bevacizumab-Interferon, 0.4% savolitinib), 242 after true progression and 43 due to other causes. Unlike in IMDC, no patients received first-line immunotherapy. The mean age was 66 years, 67.7% were male, 74.4% had undergone prior nephrectomy, and 12.3% were pure non-clear cell RCC. Metastatic sites were: lung 74%, lymph nodes 55%, bone 36%, soft tissue/skin 27%, liver 24.8%, CNS 7%, adrenal gland 5%, pleura/peritoneum 6%, pancreas 5%, kidney 3% and other organs 2%.
Classification of patients into the IMDC risk groups were: favorable (14.4%), intermediate (64.2%), or poor (21.4%). After a median follow-up since second-line therapy of 29 months, 67% of patients had progressed, 64% had received or subsequent lines of therapy, and 73% had died. Objective response rate (ORR), PFS and OS since second-line treatment were 14.6%, 5.1 months (95%CI 4-6), and 11.3 months (95%CI 9-13), respectively. Differences in PFS and OS were statistically significant among risk groups. The c-index of this prognostic predictive model was 0.635 (95%CI: 0.627–0.642).
The authors concluded that their results validate the use of the IMDC prognostic classification as a discrimination tool for predicting prognosis in patients receiving second-line targeted therapies after pazopanib in mRCC.
