flag A new study found a drug combo extends life for advanced kidney cancer patients post-immunotherapy, though with more side effects.

flag A Phase II trial presented at the 2025 ESMO Congress, the LenCabo trial, found that combining lenvatinib and everolimus improved progression-free survival to 15.7 months in advanced kidney cancer patients who had progressed after immunotherapy, compared to 10.2 months with cabozantinib. flag The study, involving 86 to 90 patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma, showed a statistically significant benefit with the combination, though it had higher rates of severe side effects and treatment discontinuation. flag This was the first direct comparison of these second-line treatments, suggesting the combination may be a more effective option after immunotherapy failure, though toxicity remains a concern.
