About this trial

The objective of this single-center clinical study was to evaluate the disease control rate(DCR) and safety of multimodal radiotherapy in the treatment of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progressed after prior immunotherapy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Renal cell carcinoma confirmed histologically or cytopathologically, including unresectable or recurrent metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Subject's previous treatment: Disease progression or intolerance following prior treatment with 1-2 systemic therapies (at least one regimen containing immune checkpoint inhibitors, including combined VEGFR-TKI drugs), And patients who have progressed within 12 months of prior immunoadjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy; According to the evaluation of attending physicians and professional radiotherapy doctors, it meets the standard of radiotherapy.

Patients can tolerate sequential immunotherapy while receiving radiation therapy.

At least two or more metastases at different sites are considered observable according to RECIST v1.1.

Disqualifiers

A history of malignancies other than the disease studied within the past 5 years, other than malignancies that are expected to be cured with treatment (including but not limited to adequately treated thyroid cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, basal or squamous cell skin cancer, or breast ductal carcinoma in situ treated with radical surgery).

Systemic treatment with other antitumor agents, including targeted agents, immunotherapy agents and their combination regimens (eligible for inclusion after 5 half-lives), local antitumor therapy, or clinical investigational drug or device therapy, was administered 4 weeks prior to the first study.

Previous history of radiation therapy at any site or in any mode.

Had major surgery (as judged by the investigator) within 4 weeks prior to the first trial or was convalescing.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • High-dose Radiotherapy (HDRT)

    Radiation

    SBRT was adopted, and radiotherapy plan was made according to the location and size of lesions (total dose 20-70Gy, 5-12Gy every time).

  • Low-dose Radiotherapy (LDRT)

    Radiation

    Radiotherapy plan was made according to the location and size of lesions (total dose 2Gy, 1Gy every time). After completing SBRT, LDRT was performed on as many metastatic sites as possible.

  • Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody

    Drug

    At the end of multimodal radiotherapy, immunotherapy was given within 7 days and in a subsequent LDRT. The maximum duration is 24 months.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Disease control rate (DCR)

After completing the full course of radiotherapy, the patients underwent periodic imaging evaluation. Tumor imaging evaluations within 48 weeks should be performed every 6 weeks (±7 days) and every 12 weeks (±7 days) after 48 weeks until disease progression, loss of follow-up, death, withdrawal of study informed consent, subject initiation of other antitumor therapy, or study termination. DCR was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v 1.1).

Time frame
Up to 1 year
2

Incidence of adverse events

Adverse events according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0). The patients must be on the trial for at least 8 weeks. Adverse events must be attributable to radiation therapy or immunotherapy.

Time frame
Up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Progression-free survival (PFS)

After completing the full course of radiotherapy, the patients underwent periodic imaging evaluation. Tumor imaging evaluations within 48 weeks should be performed every 6 weeks (±7 days) and every 12 weeks (±7 days) after 48 weeks until disease progression, loss of follow-up, death, withdrawal of study informed consent, subject initiation of other antitumor therapy, or study termination. PFS was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v 1.1).

Time frame
Up to 1 year
2

Objective response rate (ORR) (partial response or complete response)

After completing the full course of radiotherapy, the patients underwent periodic imaging evaluation. Tumor imaging evaluations within 48 weeks should be performed every 6 weeks (±7 days) and every 12 weeks (±7 days) after 48 weeks until disease progression, loss of follow-up, death, withdrawal of study informed consent, subject initiation of other antitumor therapy, or study termination. ORR was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v 1.1).

Time frame
Up to 1 year
3

Overall survival (OS)

After completing the full course of radiotherapy, patients were followed for one year until the last visit or death. OS was measured based on data collected through professional procedures.

Time frame
Up to 1 year
4

Abscopal effects

When making a radiotherapy plan, identify one or more LDRT lesions to be used for puncture. After the completion of the full course of radiotherapy, the predetermined lesions were punctured, and the obtained specimens were analyzed by pathological biopsy and immunohistochemistry to evaluate the changes of tumor microenvironment. At the same time, the patient's blood was extracted and the relevant cytokines were detected for analysis.

Time frame
1 year
