A randomized, phase II efficacy assessment of multiple MET kinase inhibitors in metastatic papillary renal carcinoma (PRCC): SWOG S1500.

TPS4599 Background: PRCC constitutes approximately 15% of RCC cases, and no standard of care exists for metastatic disease. Approved VEGF- and mTOR-directed therapies for clear cell RCC in metastatic PRCC (mPRCC) have generally been ineffective. Trials assessing sunitinib and everolimus in non-clear cell RCC show a numerical advantage in progression-free survival (PFS) with sunitinib therapy. Prospective studies evaluating sunitinib in mPRCC show a broad range of efficacy, with PFS ranging from 1.6-6.6 months. Another possible approach to treating mPRCC is to target the MET protooncogene, which is frequently altered across both type I and type II disease. SWOG 1500 is a randomized, phase II study which will compare sunitinib to three MET-directed therapies in pts with mPRCC. Methods: Eligible pts will have PRCC (type I, type II or NOS), Zubrod performance status 0-1, and measurable metastatic disease. Pts may have received up to 1 prior systemic therapy, with the exception of prior VEGF-directed treatments. Treated brain metastases are allowed. Tissue must be available for central pathologic review of papillary subtype. Pts will receive either oral sunitinib, cabozantinib, crizotinib or savolitinib in a 1:1:1:1 randomization, with stratification by (1) prior therapy (0 vs 1) and (2) PRCC subtype (type I vs type II vs NOS). The primary endpoint of the study is to compare PFS with sunitinib to PFS with MET-directed therapies. Secondary endpoints in the study include comparison of response rate, overall survival and safety profile. Translational aims of the study include correlation of clinical outcome with MET mutation, copy number and other markers of MET signaling. Radiographic assessment will be performed every 12 wks. Interim analyses are planned for each arm. A total of 275 pts will be enrolled, with 26 pts registered as of Jan 30, 2017. Clinical trial information: NCT02761057.
