Histological Classification of Human Renal Epithelial Neoplasms RCC Clear cell 75% Type Incidence (%) Associated mutations VHL Papillary type 1 5% c-Met Papillary type 2 10% FH Chromophobe BHD Oncocytoma Common epithelial neoplasms of the kidney can be either familial or sporadic Mutations in the gene for VHL, c-Met, FH, or BHD are common in both the familial and sporadic forms of kidney neoplasms.1,2 Cases of familial neoplasm arise from inherited germline mutations earlier than cases of sporadic neoplasm. Familial neoplasm requires only one additional mutation to inactivate the gene while sporadic neoplasm requires multiple subsequent mutations in order to inactivate the gene.1 Clear-cell RCC is the predominant histological type (75%).1,2 There are two types of papillary renal cell cancer: Type II is very aggressive; Type I less so. Oncocytoma is no longer considered to be malignant tumor, it is a benign neoplasm.3 BHD=Birt-Hogg-Dubé; FH=fumarate hydratase; VHL=von Hippel-Lindau. Modified from Linehan WM et al.

American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 2002 Clinical Staging System Stage Description 5-Year Survival (%) Stage I T1, N0, M0 95 Stage II T2, N0, M0 88 Stage III T1-2, N1 or T3, N0-1 59 Stage IV T4 (any N or M) or N2 (any T or M) or M1 20 5-year survival rates by clinical stage of RCC. Revisions of the AJCC-TNM Staging System The AJCC system was revised in 1997. The most significant change was an increase in size cutoff between T1 and T2 tumors from 2.5 cm to 7 cm. This modification also induced a corresponding change in 5-year survival rate for tumors at stage II between 1987 and 1997 staging systems (from 94% to 88%). Both the 1987 and 1997 staging systems are similar in predicting patient outcome, but the revised system permits better stratification of cases based on survival. Advanced stages of RCC are associated with worsening prognosis. Cohen HT, McGovern FJ. N Engl J Med. 2005;353:2477-2490. Reference Cohen HT, McGovern FJ. Renal-cell carcinoma.

The subsequent model that was developed, identifies prognostic factors that predicted survival for patients with mRCC. Risk factors associated with shorter survival (no prior nephrectomy) were: KPS <80 Low serum hemoglobin (13 g/dL in males,11.5 g/dL in females) High corrected calcium (10 mg/dL) High lactate dehydrogenase (300 U/L) The model predicts that patient prognosis declines as the number of risk factors increases. 6 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Time From Start of IFN- (years) Motzer RJ et al.

Historical Management Strategies for RCC: Summary Chemotherapy RCC is highly resistant, <10% ORR1 IFN- 15% ORR, but responses rarely complete or durable2 HD IL-2 15% ORR in stage IV patients, only 5% were CR3 Urgent need for additional options in late-stage RCC Historical management strategies for RCC: summary RCC is highly resistant to current chemotherapeutic agents, which have yielded a disappointing response rate of less than 10%.1 Treatment with IFN- yields an objective response rate of 15% in advanced patients, but the responses are rarely complete or durable.2 High-dose IL-2 has elicited a 15% objective response rate in stage IV patients, but only 5% were complete responses. In this small group of patients achieving a complete response with high-dose IL-2, responses appear to be durable, with a median duration in excess of 80 months.3 1. Krown SE.

Role of VHL in RCC Progression Paracrine Function Pericyte RAS RAF MEK ERK Autocrine Function Tumor cell VHL HIF-1 HIF-1 RAS RAF MEK ERK Scene 1 RCC is a highly vascularized tumor Scene 2 Three cell types play a role in the progression of RCC The 1° effector is the tumor cell itself Mutation or inactivation of VHL in the tumor cell allows for accumulation of HIF-1 protein. Increased levels of HIF-1 result in an overexpression of angiogenic and cellular growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF). Scene 3 Through a paracrine function, VEGF travels to regional endothelial cells where it binds to the VEGF-receptor, initiating a signal for the stabilization of blood vessels and the further proliferation of tumor cells. Scene 4 Through a paracrine function, PDGF travels to regional pericytes where it binds to the PDGF-receptor, initiating a signal for the growth of blood vessels and the further proliferation of tumor cells. Scene 5 Through an autocrine function, EGF travels back to the tumor cell where it binds to the EGF-receptor, initiating a signal for the growth of the tumor.

Rational Targets in RCC (cont’d) EGF PDGF VEGF Pericyte Endothelial cell Tumor cell HIF-1 VHL HIF-1 RAS RAF MEK ERK Sorafenib Sunitinib Approved and investigational kinase inhibitors have multiple molecular targets in RCC Bevacizumab binds to the VEGF, inhibiting its ability to bind to its receptor. Sorafenib binds to the kinase domain of the VEGF and PDGF, inhibiting their ability to initiate cell-signaling cascades. Sorafenib also inhibits RAF kinase. Sunitinib binds to the kinase domain of the VEGF and PDGF, inhibiting their ability to initiate cell-signaling cascades. Bevacizumab

Bevacizumab for mRCC: Phase II Study Design High dose = 10 mg/kg (n=39) mRCC patients (N=116) ECOG PS <2 All patients have prior therapy (mostly IL-2) Low dose = 3 mg/kg (n=37) Placebo (n=40) 1° end points: TTP and ORR 2° end point: OS Study arms were balanced for demographics Phase 2 study of efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in mRCC This was a randomized, double-blind phase 2 trial. 116 patients received either 3 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg of bevacizumab, or placebo, every 2 weeks. Patients initially receiving placebo were permitted to cross over to treatment with bevacizumab. Primary end points in this study were TTP and ORR. Overall survival was a secondary end point in this study. Patients were well-matched for all groups. 116 previously treated, metastatic RCC patients were randomized to three groups: high dose (10 mg/kg), low dose (3 mg/kg), and placebo. ECOG PS were ≤2, which is a relatively fit patient population. Second randomization of placebo group at TTP to low-dose bevacizumab +/- thalidomide. Yang JC et al. N Engl J Med. 2003;349:427-434.

High-dose median PFS was almost twice that of patients receiving placebo, 4.8 months vs 2.5 months (P<.001). Partial responses were seen in 10% (4 patients) of patients treated with high­dose bevacizumab. No responses were reported in patients receiving low­dose bevacizumab or placebo. No complete responses were observed. This study was terminated early, at the second interim by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Data Safety and Monitoring Board because of the significant difference in the TTP between patients treated with high-dose bevacizumab (10 mg/kg) and patients in the placebo group. 30 Partial Response-10% 20 10 6 12 18 24 30 36 Time (months) Adapted from Yang JC et al.

Patients were treated with either bevacizumab at 10 mg/kg IV q 2 weeks plus erlotinib at 150 mg PO qd or bevacizumab 10 mg/kg IV q 2 weeks plus 150 mg PO qd. The primary end points were PFS and ORR.

A significant reduction in the hazard ratio for progression was found in all patient subgroups. Sorafenib extended median patient PFS to 5.5 months. Independent assessment at planned interim analysis (ASCO) demonstrated doubling of PFS for sorafenib vs placebo (24 vs 12 weeks, P<.000001). 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 Time From Randomization (months) * Investigator assessment.

To date, the median OS has not yet been reached in patients treated with sorafenib. Following interim analysis, patients who have been on placebo were allowed to crossover to sorafenib even in absence of disease progression. 0.25 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 Time From Randomization (months) *Interim analysis.

Sorafenib for mRCC: Conclusion First MKI approved for treatment of advanced RCC December 20, 2005 More than doubles PFS compared to placebo Therapeutic response Radiographic response vs disease stabilization OS survival trend at planned interim analysis (P<.018) Mild to moderate toxicity profile Sorafenib is a valuable therapeutic option in mRCC Sorafenib is the first in class approved multikinase inhibitor (MKI) for the management of advanced RCC. FDA approval on December 20, 2005. Treatment with sorafenib more than doubled the PFS in patients vs placebo. Adverse event toxicities observed with sorafenib were mild to moderate. Front-line data forthcoming for sorafenib vs IFN-.
