Effectiveness of Second-Line Cabozantinib in Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients After First-Line Treatment with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-based Combinations.
Article in Kidney cancer (Clifton, Va.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Cabozantinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is a prevalent second-line (2 L) therapy and was approved for use after progression on TKIs. However, the 1 L treatment setting has changed since the approval of cabozantinib monotherapy in salvage therapy settings. Objective: To assess the differential effectiveness of cabozantinib after prior progression on 1 L ipilimumab with nivolumab (IPI + NIVO) compared to programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) or PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) inhibitors (PD1/L1i) with TKIs. Methods: Utilizing a nationwide electronic health record (EHR)-derived de-identified database, we included patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC) who received 1 L treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based combination and 2 L treatment with cabozantinib monotherapy. These patients were categorized based on the type of 1 L ICI-based combination received: IPI + NIVO vs. PD1/L1i with TKI. Real-world time to next therapy (rwTTNT) and real-world overall survival (rwOS) were summarized using Kaplan-Meier curves and compared using Cox-proportional hazard models adjusted for International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC) risk groups. Results: Among 12,285 patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, 237 were eligible and included. Median rwTTNT was 8 months for the IPI + NIVO subgroup and 7.5 months for the PD1/L1i + TKI subgroup (HR 1.05, 95% CI: 0.74-1.49, Conclusions: Cabozantinib remains effective as a 2 L therapy for mccRCC independent of the type of prior 1 L ICI-based combination. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore the ideal sequencing of therapies.
