ESMO Reactions: COSMIC-313

Author

Phase III study ofcabozantinib (C) in combination with nivolumab (N) and ipilimumab (I) inpreviously untreated advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) of IMDC intermediateor poor risk (COSMIC-313)

Abstract #LB8A: Toni Choueiri presented the primary analysis of the P3 COSMIC-313 trial. The trial compared cabozantinib + nivolumab +ipilimumab (C+N+I) (n=428) versus placebo (P)+N+I (n=427) in previously untreated patients with clear cell aRCC of IMDC intermediate (75%) or poor risk (25%).

Results: Met primary PFS endpoint; median PFS not yet reached in this ongoing trial for C+N+I vs 11.3 months for P+N+I. ORR was43% for C+N+I vs 36% for P+N+I; Grade 3/4 TRAEs occurred in 73% of pts with C+N+I vs 41% with P+N+I; TRAEs led to discontinuation in12% vs 5%. OS data analysis ongoing.

Thought leaders consider this ongoing trial important as it is the first P3 RCC trial with triplet vs. modern IO doublet in RCC and is showing PFS benefit.

However, many feel that OS data would be required before changing standard of care

Many oncologists express concerns around toxicity, discontinuations and cost with triplet therapy

Some oncologists feel that sequencing the agents might yield better results than concomitant use

Commentators also wonder which patient group is likely to benefit most from triplet therapy

Summary:

COSMIC-313 is the first trial showing PFS benefit of triplet therapy (cabozantinib+ nivolumab + ipilimumab) vs modern IO doublet in intermediate risk aRCC.However, oncologists are concerned about toxicity, treatment discontinuations, and cost. OS data will be necessary to fully assess the use and benefit of triplet therapy in this population; subgroup analysis could also help indicate patients who would benefit the most.

79% had reduction in disease. ORR 31%. Many responses deepen over time.

Median DOR not yet reached. Median OS 13.9 mo. 12 mo OS was 54%. As typical with immunotherapy, we see a nice tail on the curve. #TIL#SITC22

Important work on efficacy of TIL therapy lifileucel in PD-1 resistant #melanoma being presented at #SITC22. Pretty good durability for this heavy lift of a treatment.

Toxicity profile was in line with prior TIL/Lifileucel data. No surprises here. Median # doses of IL-2 was 6.

Absolutely agree!… this should be available to our melanoma patients ASAP!… and paves the way for smarter cellular therapies to be designed, studied, and eventually widely disseminated

Where does this leave us with #TIL therapy for #melanoma? IMO, this response rate/durability justifies accelerated approval. Pts with PD-1 refractory melanoma need options. It’s FAR from a perfect tx but provides meaningful clinical benefit. What say you melanoma Twitterverse?
