In a study of more than 1,500 patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma, those who took the drug everolimus daily for up to one year after surgery lived longer without their disease returning than those who did not take everolimus. Improvement was seen primarily in patients with very high-risk disease, while patients with intermediate high-risk disease saw no improvement in recurrence-free survival.
People with metastatic kidney cancer who orally took a live biotherapeutic product called CBM588 while in treatment with immunotherapy and enzymatic tyrosine kinase inhibitors experienced improved health outcomes, according to research from City of Hope.
