No one knew yet that the #COVID19 #pandemic was just around the corner. In Mar 2020, FDA released a guidance on conduct of #clinicaltrials during the pandemic: fda.gov/media/136238/d…, & colleagues wrote about the impact on #OncTwitter trials: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…. /2
FDA has now released a draft guidance on decentralized #clinicaltrials for drugs, biological products, & devices covering #telehealth, remote assessments, consent, shipping of IP, & more: fda.gov/media/167696/d…. #MedTwitter #regulatory #drugdevelopment Image

Thread🧵
For reference, kidney cancer staging is here.

Currently, role of #radonc is for smaller cancers (eg, T1a/b, some T2) and metastatic disease.

Is there a role for Local Tx of the Primary Tumor for Patients with Metastatic Cancer?

🚫Many studies demonstrate no benefit.
📌We performed a MetaAnalysis to evaluate the average effect of Local Tx across various tumors.

Critics of Local Tx to the Primary Tumor

📌 Many providers think local control of the primary tumor in the setting of M1 dz is akin to “closing the barn door after the horse has bolted”
📌 Ian Tannock wrote a fantastic article on this back in 2000.

Supporters of Local Tx

📌Some support aggressive ablation of all sites due to the enhanced ability to detect occult disease with improved imaging technologies and 📉 toxicities with complete ablation.

2/ Our study analyzes patient samples from 3 prospective clinical trials of PD-1 blockade.
The study includes 592 tumors that were profiled by WES, RNA-seq, and/or IF for CD8+ T cells on samples collected before treatment with Nivolumab (anti-PD1) or Everolimus (mTOR inhibitor)
3/ We evaluated genomic correlates of response to PD-1 inhibitors in ccRCC.
Molecular features that had been previously suggested to correlate with outcomes (e.g. TMB, NeoAg load) were not found to be predictive of benefit from PD-1 blockade.
