NCI sponsored, ECOG-ACRIN Phase 3 Study of Leukine in Combination with Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in Front Line Treatment of Melanoma Heads to Last Stages of Enrollment
The safety and efficacy achieved with the combination of savolitinib and durvalumab vs standard-of-care sunitinib or durvalumab monotherapy will be evaluated in patients with MET-driven papillary renal cell carcinoma in the phase 3 SAMETA trial.
Toni K. Choueiri, MD, highlights findings from the CONTACT-03 trial and their clinical significance, as well as the need for continued investigation of PD-1 inhibitor rechallenge despite the negative trial results with cabozantinib and atezolizumab.
The addition of atezolizumab to cabozantinib did not improve progression-free survival or overall survival vs cabozantinib alone in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who previously received treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, missing the primary end points of the phase 3 CONTACT-03 trial.
