| Description | Everolimus is an oral mTOR kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) progressing during or after treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted agents. Using the national RENIS clinical registry, we have retrospectively analysed outcomes of patients treated for mRCC with everolimus. A total of 78 patients were evaluable. Median progression-free survival from the start of everolimus therapy was 7 months (95% confidence interval 2–12 months). Partial response or stable disease was achieved in 69% of patients. Treatment toxicity was predictable and serious adverse events occurred in only 6% of patients the most common being respiratory toxicity. Everolimus therapy provides significant clinical benefit for heavily pretreated mRCC patients after failure of VEGF-targeted therapy |
