431 Background: While targeting VEGF improves outcomes for mRCC pts, resistance invariably develops, often within the first year. Here, we describe the efficacy and safety of atezo (anti-PD-L1) with bev (anti-VEGF) and atezo monotherapy vs sun (TKI) in first-line mRCC. Methods: Treatment-naïve mRCC pts were enrolled in a hypothesis generating Ph II study (IMmotion150; NCT01984242) and randomized to atezo 1200 mg IV q3w + bev 15 mg/kg IV q3w, atezo alone or sun 50 mg PO QD 4 wk on/2 wk off. Crossover to atezo + bev after disease progression was allowed for pts receiving atezo or sun. PD-L1 expression was scored on tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC, SP142 IHC assay). Coprimary endpoints were PFS (RECIST v1.1 by independent review [IRF]) in ITT pts and pts with PD-L1 expression on ≥ 1% of IC (PD-L1+). Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable across arms and between ITT and PD-L1+ pts. The majority of sun and atezo pts subsequently received atezo + bev. Median survival follow up was 20.7 mo. The PFS HR in ITT pts for atezo + bev vs sun was 1.00 and 1.19 for atezo vs sun. In PD-L1+ pts, the PFS HR for atezo + bev vs sun was 0.64 and 1.03 for atezo vs sun (table). Tx-related Gr 3-4 AEs were seen in 40%, 16% and 57% of pts in the atezo + bev, atezo and sun arms, respectively. AEs leading to death occurred in 3%, 2% and 2% of pts, respectively. Conclusion: Atezo + bev resulted in encouraging antitumor activity in the PD-L1+ subgroup of first-line RCC pts. Atezo + bev safety is consistent with the known profile of atezo and bev individually. The clinical benefit of atezo + bev vs sun will be evaluated in the ongoing Ph III study IMmotion151 (NCT02420821). Clinical trial information: NCT01984242. [Table: see text]
