From Jill Martin revealing an updated about her cancer to Casey DeSantis announcing breast cancer diagnosis, this is what’s happening in the oncology space this week.

Patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma who received corticosteroids during Opdivo treatment did not experience a negative impact on survival.

Even with the increase of immunotherapy utilization to treat patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma, more research is needed to determine in which order to administer it as later lines of therapy.

Therapies that target specific characteristics on kidney cancer cells are showing promise in the space, an expert explained.

After a median follow-up of four years, the survival benefit, including progression-free survival persisted in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma treated with Lenvima plus Keytruda compared with those treated with Sutent.

Longer follow-up data showed that Lenvima plus Keytruda still outperformed Sutent in the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Cabometyx, Opdivo and Yervoy led to high disease control rates across different subgroups of patients with kidney cancer, research showed.

Researchers conducting the VISTA-101 study will assess the safety and efficacy of KVA12123 alone and with Keytruda, in addition to determining the recommended dose of the therapy.

Cabometyx plus Tecentriq failed to improve progression-free survival in patients with kidney cancer.

The drug duo Lenvina plus Keytruda led to improved outcomes for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma, extended follow-up of the CLEAR trial showed.
