With the advent of immunotherapy, standard first-line treatment for patients with renal cell carcinoma is now an association with an immune checkpoint inhibitor. In this context, the association axitinib plus pembrolizumab has already been evaluated in several studies with positive results for Progression Free survival, Overall survival and Complete response. The combo received a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, and the European Commission approves the extension of Marketing Authorization in first line for metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients.
In a context of treatment with a new association, it is important to manage the toxicities closely in order to allow the patients to have an optimal treatment. The underlying hypothesis is that the use of new information and communication technologies could improve clinical patient management.
In this study, we wish assess the impact of monitoring via the web application KidneyPRO on the quality of life of patients with the new combination of treatment axitinib/pembrolizumab for a renal cell carcinoma in first line.
