May 29, 2026 updated by: Ipsen

A Prospective Observational International Study of Cabozantinib Tablets in Combination With Nivolumab as First-line Treatment of Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma in Adults

The purpose of this study is to collect data to describe the safety and effectiveness of cabozantinib and nivolumab in combination as a first-line treatment in adults with aRCC with clear cell-component, according to real-world clinical practice. The decision to prescribe cabozantinib and nivolumab in combination will be made prior to, and independently from, the decision to enrol the participant in study.

Time Frame: Every month until month 4, and every 3 months after month 4 up to 42 month or disease progression
Including clinical and radiographic assessments defined as the time between the start date of cabozantinib in combination with nivolumab and the date of progression or death of any cause. The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate median PFS.

Duration of response (DOR)
Time Frame: Every month until month 4, and every 3 months after month 4 up to 42 month or disease progression
Defined as the interval from the date of first response (complete or partial) to treatment with cabozantinib in combination with nivolumab, to progressive disease or death

Proportion of participants who achieve complete response, partial response or stable disease (Disease Control Rate (DCR)).
Time Frame: Every month until month 4, and every 3 months after month 4 up to 42 months or disease progression.
Every month until month 4, and every 3 months after month 4 up to 42 months or disease progression.
Time of response (TTR)
Time Frame: Every month until month 4, and every 3 months after month 4 up to 42 months or disease progression
Defined as the time between the start date of cabozantinib in combination with nivolumab and date of first response (complete or partial).

Pattern of use of nivolumab under real-world practice conditions.
Time Frame: Every month until month 4, and every 3 months after month 4 up to 42 months or disease progression
Every month until month 4, and every 3 months after month 4 up to 42 months or disease progression
Incidence of treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) including nonserious Adverse Events (AEs), and Serious Advers Events (SAEs).
Time Frame: Up to 42 months or disease progression
All AEs will be coded according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and will be classified by MedDRA PT and SOC.
Up to 42 months or disease progression
Change in disease-related symptoms
Time Frame: Change from baseline at each visit up to 42 months
Assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Kidney Cancer Symptom Index - Disease Related Symptoms (FKSI-DRS) questionnaire
Change from baseline at each visit up to 42 months
Change in pain
Time Frame: Change from baseline at each visit up to 42 months
Assessed by the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
