Brian I. Rini, MD, professor of medicine, Cleveland Clinic, discusses the efficacy of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and axitinib (Inlyta) combined in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
There was a trial of 52 previously untreated patients with RCC who received axitinib and prembrolizumab. The response rate with this combination was 71%, whereas single-agent axitinib typically sees response rates in the 30% to 40% range, making these results the best that has been seen in RCC, states Rini.
