Across the full study population, the combination doubled median PFS (17.0 months vs. 8.3 months, respectively; HR 0.52; 95% CI: 0.43 to 0.64), the trial\u2019s primary endpoint, compared to sunitinib. The ORR indicated that nearly twice as many patients responded to Cabometyx\u00ae\u00a0in combination with Opdivo\u00ae\u00a0vs. sunitinib (54.8% vs. 28.4) and the combination maintained improvements in OS, demonstrating a 34% reduction in the risk of death compared to sunitinib (HR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.50 to 0.87). In an exploratory analysis, the combination was associated with a disease control rate (including complete response, partial response and stable disease) of 88.2% vs. 69.9% with sunitinib and a complete response rate of 9.3% compared to 4.3% with sunitinib. Among patients treated with Cabometyx\u00ae\u00a0in combination with Opdivo\u00ae, 6.6% discontinued both agents due to TRAEs, 9.7% discontinued Opdivo\u00ae\u00a0only and 7.2% discontinued Cabometyx\u00ae\u00a0only.1<\/p>\n<p>In an exploratory subgroup analysis of 75 patients with sarcomatoid features, the combination of Cabometyx\u00ae\u00a0with Opdivo\u00ae\u00a0showed benefit in this population typically associated with a poor prognosis, reducing the risk of death by 64% vs. sunitinib (HR 0.36; 95% CI: 0.17 to 0.79) and demonstrating both superior PFS (10.3 months vs. 4.2 months) and ORR (55.9% vs. 22.0%).1<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a continued need for new therapies that show benefit across subgroups of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma,\u201d said Robert Motzer, M.D., Kidney Cancer Section Head, Genitourinary Oncology Service, and Jack and Dorothy Byrne Chair in Clinical Oncology, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. \u201cIn CheckMate -9ER, nivolumab in combination with cabozantinib doubled progression-free survival, increased overall survival and response rate and, in an exploratory analysis, showed impressive disease control, and these promising efficacy results were sustained with extended follow-up. Also, of note, patients in this study reported significant quality of life improvements, which are important for patients undergoing treatment for this challenging disease\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a second analysis from the CheckMate -9ER trial (Abstract #285) conducted with 18.1 months of median follow-up, patients treated with the combination of Cabometyx\u00ae\u00a0and Opdivo\u00ae\u00a0reported statistically significant health-related quality of life (HRQoL) benefits.2\u00a0Treatment with Cabometyx\u00ae\u00a0in combination with Opdivo\u00ae\u00a0was associated with a lower treatment burden, decreased the risk of confirmed deterioration in HRQoL and a reduction of disease-related symptoms compared to sunitinib. These exploratory outcomes were measured using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Kidney Symptom Index-19 (FKSI-19), a quality of life tool specific to kidney cancer, and EQ-5D-3L instruments.2<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the advances in treatments for kidney cancer transform outcomes for patients, the goals of therapy have expanded from increasing survival to improving quality of life,\u201d said Dr. Cristina Su\u00e1rez, Medical Oncologist at the Vall d\u00b4Hebron University Hospital, Barcelona, Spain and a lead investigator on the Phase III CheckMate -9ER trial. \u201cThe additional analyses presented at ASCO GU mean that physicians treating people living with advanced renal cell carcinoma can consider this combination at diagnosis as a first-line option to improve patient outcomes and significantly reduce the risk of deterioration in health-related quality of life scores for their patients. This, in addition to the extended follow-up outcomes data including patients with sarcomatoid features, point to this combination becoming an important treatment approach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cabometyx\u00ae\u00a0in combination with Opdivo\u00ae\u00a0is under review with health authorities globally following the combination\u2019s approval for the first-line treatment of advanced RCC by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to share these positive results at ASCO GU, building on the growing body of data for the use of Cabometyx\u00ae\u00a0in first- and second-line settings. These data further support the importance of research investigating outcomes which really matter to patients,\u201d said Prof. Dr. Steven Hildemann, Executive Vice President, Chief Medical Officer, Head of Global Medical Affairs and Patient Safety, Ipsen. \u201cThe validations of the type II variation applications to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for Cabometyx\u00ae\u00a0in combination with Opdivo\u00ae\u00a0last year brought this new combination regimen one step closer to the previously untreated kidney cancer patient population. Despite recent advances, these patients remain in need of more therapeutic options that extend survival and improve quality of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A further notable presentation at ASCO GU evaluated
