Antiangiogenic Therapy in Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma (CCRC): Pharmacological Basis and Clinical Results

Abstract: Angiogenesis has a direct stimulatory effect on tumor growth, duplication, invasion and metastatic development. A significant portion of conventional renal cell carcinomas are angiogenesis-dependent tumors and the pathways supporting this process have been thoroughly investigated over the last 20 years. As a consequence, many tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (sunitinib, sorafenib, pazopanib, axitinib, and cabozantinib), one monoclonal antibody (bevacizumab), and two mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibi… Show more

“…Various targets of CZ are associated with immunosuppression, thus allowing it to directly immunomodulate the tumor microenvironment, increase cytotoxic T cell activation/infiltration, and induce susceptibility of tumor cells to cytotoxic T cell-mediated tumor cell killing, differentiating itself from other VEGF-targeting TKIs [ 26 , 37 , 39 , 41 , 43 , 44 , 67 , 74 ]. In particular, TAM kinases such as AXL and MET promote immunosuppressive phenotypes in tumor-associated immunosuppressive cells (including regulatory T cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and tumor-activated macrophages) [ 37 ], which in turn contribute to the resistance against immune checkpoint inhibitors [ 37 , 41 ].…”

“…RCC management has advanced significantly with the advent of newer generation TKIs, such as cabozantinib (CZ), that are effective in the first-line setting for intermediate- or poor-risk metastatic RCC, with significant clinical benefits in the progression-free survival and overall response rate [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. CZ is an oral, potent multi-target TKI that targets the VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-2 and several other receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), including the hepatocyte growth factor receptor (MET), the TAM (TYRO-3, AXL, and MER) family of receptor kinases, the ROS proto-oncogene 1, the c-kit proto-oncogene product, the Fms-related receptor tyrosine kinase 3, the tropomyosin receptor kinase B, the angiopoietin-1 receptor, and the RET proto-oncogene [ 34 , 35 , 39 , 41 , 42 , 44 ]. Compared to other pure anti-angiogenic TKIs, the concomitant inhibition of multiple clinically relevant RTKs with a greater potency provided by CZ interferes with tumor progression, metastasis, angiogenesis, and therapeutic resistance to VEGF inhibition through dual multi-facet effects on the tumor cells and their microenvironment [ 34 , 35 , 39 , 41 , 42 , 44 ].…”

“…In the case of multiple organ metastases from CCRCC, the European strategy is more inclined to initiate a systemic treatment first. Next, whether a local treatment will be proposed depends on the response to systemic treatment ( 38 ). Nevertheless, our study suggests that systemic therapy following metastasectomy may be also safe and effective.…”

“…HIF1α and HIF2α can regulate the transcription of many genes involved in angiogenesis, metabolism and chromatin remodeling, which are associated with the development of ccRCC 9 . Based on this biological property of ccRCC, several targeted drugs with antiangiogenic activity have been approved for the treatment of advanced RCC, including mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors, monoclonal antibody that interferes with vascular endothelial growth factor and tyrosine kinase inhibitors 10 . Unfortunately, current drug treatments are not effective enough, have severe side effects, and are prone to developing drug resistance during the course of treatment.…”
