Neoadjuvant SABR for Renal Cell Carcinoma Inferior Vena Cava Tumor Thrombus-Safety Lead-in Results of a Phase 2 Trial.


ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the feasibility, safety, oncologic outcomes, and immune effect of neoadjuvant stereotactic radiation (Neo-SAbR) followed by radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy (RN-IVCT).

Methods and materials

These are results from the safety lead-in portion of a single-arm phase 1 and 2 trial. Patients with kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma [RCC]) and inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus (TT) underwent Neo-SAbR (40 Gy in 5 fractions) to the IVC-TT followed by open RN-IVCT. Absence of grade 4 to 5 adverse events (AEs) within 90 days of RN-IVCT was the primary endpoint. Exploratory studies included pathologic and immunologic alterations attributable to SAbR.

Results

Six patients were included in the final analysis. No grade 4 to 5 AEs were observed. A total of 81 AEs were reported within 90 days of surgery: 73% (59/81) were grade 1, 23% (19/81) were grade 2, and 4% (3/81) were grade 3. After a median follow-up of 24 months, all patients are alive. One patient developed de novo metastatic disease. Of 3 patients with metastasis at diagnosis, 1 had a complete and another had a partial abscopal response without the concurrent use of systemic therapy. Neo-SABR led to decreased Ki-67 and increased PD-L1 expression in the IVC-TT. Inflammatory cytokines and autoantibody titers reflecting better host immune status were observed in patients with nonprogressive disease.

Conclusions

Neo-SAbR followed by RN-IVCT for RCC IVC-TT is feasible and safe. Favorable host immune environment correlated with abscopal response to SABR and RCC relapse-free survival, though direct causal relation to SABR has yet to be established.
