DISCOVER WELIREG (belzutifan), THE FIRST AND ONLY HIF-2α INHIBITOR FOR YOUR APPROPRIATE PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED RENAL CELL CARCINOMA (RCC)
WELIREG is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with advanced RCC following immune checkpoint and anti-angiogenic therapies.
LITESPARK-005: WELIREGTM (belzutifan) demonstrated superior PFS vs everolimus at first interim analysis
Kaplan-Meier Estimates of PFS in LITESPARK-005
- 25% reduced risk of disease progression or death demonstrated with WELIREG vs everolimus (HR=0.75a; 95% CI, 0.63–0.90; P=0.00077).b
- Events observed: 257/374 (69%) with WELIREG vs 262/372 (70%) with everolimus.
- Median PFSc: 5.6 months (95% CI, 3.9–7.0) with WELIREG vs 5.6 months (95% CI, 4.8–5.8) with everolimus.
WELIREG demonstrated superior ORR vs everolimus at first interim analysis
Patients who received WELIREG achieved an ORR of 22% vs 3.5% of patients who received everolimus (P<0.00001)
- Median DORc was not reached with WELIREG (range: 1.7+–23.2+ months) vs 17.2 months with everolimus (range: 3.8–18.0+ months).
LITESPARK-005 study design: The only Phase 3 trial in advanced RCC to specifically evaluate patients who progressed following treatment with both anti–PD-1/L1 and VEGF-TKI therapies
WELIREG was studied in an open-label, randomized, Phase 3 trial vs everolimus
Stratification Factors
- IMDC risk categories (favorable vs intermediate vs poor)
- Number of prior VEGF receptor–targeted therapies (1 vs 2–3)
Primary Efficacy Outcomes
- PFSd
- OS
Secondary Efficacy Outcomes
- ORRd
- DORd
Patients were evaluated radiologically at Week 9 from the date of randomization, then every 8 weeks through Week 49, and every 12 weeks thereafter.
Study Population Characteristics
- Median age: 63 years (range: 22 years to 90 years)
- 42% age 65 years or older
- 78% male
- 79% White, 12% Asian, 1.1% Black or African-American
- ECOG PS of 0, 43%; ECOG PS of 1, 55%
- Prior therapies: 13% of patients had 1 prior line of therapy, 43% had 2 prior lines of therapy, and 43% had 3 prior lines of therapy
- Patient distribution by IMDC risk categories was 22% favorable, 66% intermediate, and 12% poor
Subsequent prespecified analysis with median follow-up time of 17.8 months (range: 0.2–39.1 months)
LIMITATION: No statistical testing was performed for the updated PFS, ORR, and DOR analyses. No conclusions can be drawn.
Updated PFS
- HR=0.74 (95% CI, 0.63–0.88) with WELIREG vs everolimus.
- Events observed: 289 with WELIREG vs 276 with everolimus.
- Median PFS: 5.6 months (95% CI, 3.8–6.5) with WELIREG vs 5.6 months (95% CI, 4.8–5.8) with everolimus.
OS
- OS favored WELIREG over everolimus but did not reach statistical significance (HR=0.88; 95% CI, 0.73–1.07).
- Median OS: 21.4 months (95% CI, 18.2–24.3) with WELIREG vs 18.1 months (95% CI, 15.8–21.8) with everolimus.
Updated ORR
- 22.7% with WELIREG vs 3.5% with everolimus.
- Median DOR: 19.5 months (range: 1.9–31.6+) with WELIREG vs 13.7 months (range: 3.8–21.2+) with everolimus.
- Median TTR: 3.8 months (range: 1.7–22.0) with WELIREG and 3.7 months (range: 1.8–5.4) with everolimus.
Following treatment with both anti–PD-1/L1 and VEGF-TKI therapies, consider WELIREG as early as the second line for your appropriate patients with advanced RCC
