David F. McDermott, MD, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, discusses lessons learned from the recent IMmotion150 trial in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The open-label, randomized study examined the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab (Tecentriq) alone or in combination with bevacizumab (Avastin) versus sunitinib (Sutent) in patients with untreated advanced RCC.

The open-label, randomized study examined the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab (Tecentriq) alone or in combination with bevacizumab (Avastin) versus sunitinib (Sutent) in patients with untreated advanced RCC.
As the first large-scale look at atezolizumab in this setting, IMmotion150 will impact how immune agents are used in the first and second line, says McDermott.
In addition to aiding in design for a phase III trial, the results of IMmotion150 suggest that atezolizumab may be effective in the adjuvant setting.
