A Multicenter Real-World Study on TKI Therapy After Progression on First-Line TKI/IO Therapy or TKI/IO Therapy After Progression on First-Line TKI in Chinese Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC)

TKI monotherapy or TKI/IO combination therapy is the standard first-line treatment for low- and intermediate-risk advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In clinical practice, after the failure of first-line therapy, sequential treatment is often selected based on the initial regimen, with options including TKI/IO therapy or TKI therapy. In the real-world setting of low- and intermediate-risk advanced RCC in China, which sequential treatment strategy-TKI/IO-TKI or TKI-TKI/IO-provides greater survival benefits for patients? This study aims to compare the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of TKI/IO-TKI sequential therapy versus TKI-TKI/IO sequential therapy in real-world low- and intermediate-risk mRCC patients. The objective is to accurately identify the optimal patient subgroups for each treatment strategy, optimize treatment plans, improve patient quality of life, reduce healthcare costs, provide guidance and reference for the clinical management of low- and intermediate-risk mRCC patients, and contribute to the refinement and updating of related Chinese treatment guidelines.
