A National, Prospective, Non-Interventional Study (NIS) of Nivolumab (BMS-936558) With or Without Ipilimumab (BMS-734016) in Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma in Real Life Setting

This is a French, nationwide, prospective, observational, multi-center study in participants diagnosed with advanced renal cell carcinoma, who start a new systemic therapy with nivolumab with or without ipilimumab for the first time and within the market authorization approval.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adult participants who are at least 18 of age at the time of the treatment decision with the diagnosis of advanced renal cell cancer (RCC) (histologically or cytologically confirmed) and whose physician has already decided to initiate a treatment with nivolumab or with nivolumab plus ipilimumab for the first time for the treatment of RCC, according to the label approved in France.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

-Adult participants with the diagnosis of advanced renal cell cancer (RCC) (histologically or cytologically) whose physician has already decided to initiate a treatment with nivolumab with or without ipilimumab for the first time for the treatment of RCC, according to the label approved in France

NOTE: Nivolumab with ipilimumab is indicated for the first-line treatment of adult participants with intermediate/poor-risk advanced RCC

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Primary diagnosis of a cancer other than advanced RCC within the past five years, ie, a cancer other than RCC that requires systemic or other treatment
  • Previously treated with anti-PD1, anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (anti-PDL1) or anti-CTLA4 therapy
  • Currently included in an interventional clinical trial for advanced or RCC. Participants who have completed participation in an interventional trial; or who are not receiving study drug anymore and who are only followed-up for overall survival (OS) can be enrolled
  • Pregnant women and participants under guardianship

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Cohort 1: Nivolumab
Participants diagnosed with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and whose physician has decided to initiate a treatment with Nivolumab for the first time for the treatment of RCC

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 3 years
By Cohort
Up to 3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
