Sorafenib with interleukin-2 vs sorafenib alone in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: the ROSORC trial

Abstract: Background:Preclinical investigations support combining sorafenib with IL-2 in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).Methods:In this open-label, phase II study, 128 patients with mRCC were randomised to receive oral sorafenib, 400 mg twice daily, plus subcutaneous IL-2, 4.5 million international units (MIU) five times per week for 6 in every 8 weeks, or sorafenib alone. After enrolment of the first 40 patients, IL-2 dose was reduced to improve the tolerability.Results:After a median follow-up… Show more

“…These median PFS and duration of therapy findings are within the 5.7-to 9.1-month median PFS range previously reported for first-line sorafenib. 4,19,[22][23][24] The median duration of therapy for patients receiving sorafenib after sunitinib was somewhat shorter than that for the entire population; however, the duration of previous therapy was not captured. This could reflect the emergence of cross resistance or it might be a consequence of diminishing efficacy with the line of treatment.…”

“…The ROSORC phase II trial randomized patients with metastatic RCC to received sorafenib alone or sorafenib in combination with subcutaneous IL-2 4.5 MIU fi ve times per week for 6 in every 8 weeks [ 35 ] (Table 8.2 ). The dose of IL-2 was reduced after the fi rst 20 patients in the combination arm were treated, due to the onset of adverse events, mainly asthenia.…”

“…The German workshop participants assessed pazopanib as a now equivalent alternative in this group. Since sorafenib is not generally approved in Europe for first-line therapy due to available data, no recommendation was given on this point [18,19,20,21]. …”
