Analysis of overall survival (OS) based on tumor target lesion change in the phase 3 METEOR trial of cabozantinib (cabo) versus everolimus (eve) in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Bibliographic record
Abstract
522 Background: In the METEOR study (NCT01865747), cabo demonstrated improved progression-free survival (median 7.4 vs. 3.8 mo; HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.45–0.74; p<0.0001), OS (median 21.4 vs. 16.5 mo; HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.53-0.83, p=0.0003), and objective response rate (17% vs. 3%; p<0.0001) compared with eve in patients (pts) with advanced RCC who had received prior VEGFR TKI therapy (Choueiri NEJM 2015, Lancet Oncol 2016). Here we evaluate the impact of changes in target lesion size from baseline on OS. Methods: 658 pts were randomized 1:1 to receive cabo (60 mg qd) or eve (10 mg qd). Stratification factors were MSKCC risk group and number of prior VEGFR TKIs. Target lesion size was assessed per independent radiology review by CT/MRI scans at baseline, every 8 weeks for the first 12 months, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Three subgroups were defined by best change in target lesion size from baseline: decrease ≥30%, decrease <30%, and any increase. Results: The rate of target lesion regression was higher in the cabo arm (75%) compared with the eve arm (48%). A higher fraction of pts had a decrease ≥30% in target lesion size in the cabo arm, while a higher fraction of pts had an increase in target lesion size in the eve arm (Table). Medians for OS with cabo were not estimable (NE) (95% CI, NE‒NE), 20.8 mo (95% CI, 18.1‒NE), and 11.1 mo (95% CI, 7.6‒15.2) for the ≥30% decrease, <30% decrease, and any increase subgroups, respectively. Medians for OS with eve were NE (95% CI, 19.3‒NE), 18.0 mo (95% CI, 15.9‒20.4), and 14.0 mo (95% CI, 10.5‒16.3) for the ≥30% decrease, <30% decrease, and any increase subgroups, respectively. Median duration of follow-up for OS was 18.7 mo (IQR 16.1–21.1) for cabo and 18.8 mo (16.0–21.2) for eve. A higher proportion of pts received subsequent anticancer therapy in the any increase subgroup compared with the other subgroups. Conclusions: Cabo demonstrated a higher rate of tumor target lesion regression than eve, and greater target lesion regression was associated with improved OS in pts with advanced RCC. Clinical trial information: NCT01865747. [Table: see text]

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
