    BackgroundMonoclonal antibodies that target the programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1) pathway have shown antitumour activity in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and are currently being developed in first-line (in combination) and in previously treated patients. The efficacy targeted therapy (TT) after PD-1/PD-L1 blockade is still unknown.MethodsMedical records of mRCC patients treated with investigational PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors at 4 academic institutions were reviewed. Patients who received subsequent treatment with TT were selected to collect outcome measures of subsequent TT.ResultsOf 99 patients who received PD-1/PD-L1 blockade as part of clinical trials, 56 patients have received subsequent therapy: 44 patients received vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitors and 12 received mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors as first subsequent TT. Median follow up, from the start of subsequent TT was 16.1 months (range: 0.2, 30.6 months). TT post PD-1/PD-L1 blockade was administered as second-line, third-line or beyond third-line in 9 (16%), 24 (43%) and 23 patients (41%) respectively. Median time to treatment failure on subsequent TT was 6.6 months (range: 0.2+, 23.0). 1-year and 2 year overall survival from the initiation of subsequent TT was 58% (95% confidence interval (CI): 41-72%) and 36% (95% CI: 18-54%), respectively.ConclusionBoth VEGF/VEGFR and mTOR inhibitors demonstrate antitumour activity following PD-1/PD-L1 blockade.Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
