Authors' results and conclusions: CheckMate 214 study results show that the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab provides a clinical benefit in previously untreated, intermediate- and poor-risk patients. However, the high rate of treatment-related adverse effects (AEs) needs to be taken into consideration. Moreover, data regarding AEs for intermediate- and poor-risk patients and, additionally, long-term efficacy and safety data of the combination therapy would be of interest.
Authors' recommendations: Since CheckMate 214 is the only phase III trial providing results of nivolumab plus ipilimumab in untreated patients with advanced RCC, more data is needed to evaluate this combination regimen as a first-line therapy.
