Background and objective: Papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is a rare disease. The optimal treatment of metastatic pRCC is still unclear. We evaluated real-world treatment outcomes of first-line treatment in this cohort in Germany. Methods: Patients with advanced or metastatic pRCC were eligible. Adverse events (AEs) were reported according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. The overall response rate was accessed according to the local standard. Progression-free survival (PFS) was calculated from the start of treatment to progression or death. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier plots were utilised, where appropriate. Key findings and limitations: In total, 121 suitable patients (77% male) with a median age of 63 yr (quartil 78%. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-1 was reported in 74%. Lymphatic (68 es 55, 70) were included. Prior nephrectomy was performed in %) and pulmonary (42%) metastases were most common. Of the patients, 59% recei therapies (ICI-ICI: 2 received TKI monothe was 33.3 mo (interqua fidence interval [CI] : 3 for ICI-TKI combinat ved 0%, the patients, 70% a AEs of any cause le Conclusions and clinical io nd dt first-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combination tyrosine kinase inhibitor [TKI]-ICI: 39%), and 41% of patients rapy, predominantly sunitinib.

The median PFS was 5.4 mo (95% con-.2-7.6) for ICI-ICI combinations, 16.9 mo (95% CI: 7.2-26.6) ns, and 8.8 mo (95% CI: 7.0-10.7) for TKI monotherapy.
