Abstract

Abstract: Background: The ATLAS trial compared axitinib (AXI) vs placebo in patients (pts) with locoregional renal cell carcinoma at risk of recurrence after nephrectomy. ATLAS was stopped due to futility at a pre-planned interim analysis. A subgroup analysis was performed to describe differences between Asian vs Non-Asian pts and different Asian groups by geography in baseline characteristics and safety. Methods: The exploratory subgroup analysis population included 363 pts randomized to receive AXI and 361 randomized to placebo. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS). Results: DFS had the largest treatment effect in highest risk pts for Asian and Non-Asian pts: Hazard ratio = 0.731 (Asians) vs. 0.755 (Non-Asians). A similar trend was noted for Fuhrman Grade 3-4. Additional key results from the analysis are presented in the table. AE=adverse events Asian pts on AXI had higher frequencies of proteinuria, hypothyroidism, and nasopharyngitis and lower frequencies of fatigue and asthenia compared to Non-Asian pts on AXI. Within major Asian groups, proteinuria, hypothyroidism, nasopharyngitis and hypertension were more common in Japanese > Korean > Chinese pts. Conclusions: DFS did not vary based on ethnicity. Asian pts had a lower median daily dose, and more frequent dose reduction vs non-Asian pts. More Asian pts had AEs leading to dose reductions of AXI and study withdrawals vs non-Asian pts. There were notable differences in AEs between Asian and Non-Asian pts and between Japanese, Korean and Chinese pts. Clinical trial identification: NCT01599754.
