Navigating RCC Progression: Optimizing Treatment Sequence After the First Line
Experts discuss emerging patterns of progression with current frontline regimens for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), differences between immunotherapy (IO)/IO and IO/tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combinations, and how these progression patterns impact prognosis and subsequent therapy selection, considering whether the patient received IO/IO or IO/TKI in the first line and the clinical factors influencing later-line treatment decisions.

Video content above is prompted by the following:
- In your experience, what patterns of progression are emerging with current frontline regimens for advanced RCC, and are there notable differences between IO/IO and IO/TKI combinations? How do these progression patterns—such as common sites of progression or timing—impact prognosis and influence your choice of subsequent therapy?
- When a patient progresses on frontline therapy, how do you approach treatment selection in the later-line setting?
- Does your choice differ based on whether the patient received IO-IO or IO-TKI in the first line? What clinical and disease-specific factors most influence your decision?

Here is your cheat sheet to all therapeutic options that were cleared by the FDA in September 2026 spanning tumor types.

The FDA approved tucatinib plus trastuzumab and pertuzumab as maintenance for advanced HER2-positive breast cancer after induction.

The c-Met–directed ADC was designated for EGFR wild-type nonsquamous NSCLC after platinum chemotherapy and anti–PD-(L)1 therapy.

Dana-Farber’s Xin Gu, PhD, and Nicholas Polizzi, PhD, received NIH New Innovator Awards for high-risk, high-reward research.

The c-Met–directed ADC-based combination was designated for mCRC previously treated with fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and anti-VEGF therapy.

Pooled data from 3 randomized trials showed ropeginterferon alfa-2b improved responses vs phlebotomy alone but not vs hydroxyurea in polycythemia vera.
