Therapeutic efficacy of Belzutifan

The efficacy of Belzutifan was evaluated in Study 004 (NCT03401788), an open-label clinical trial in  61 patients with VHL-associated RCC diagnosed based on a VHL germline alteration and with at least  one measurable solid tumor localized to the kidney as defined by response evaluation criteria in solid  tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Enrolled patients had other VHL-associated tumors including CNS  hemangioblastomas and pNET. CNS hemangioblastomas and pNET in these patients were diagnosed  based on the presence of at least one measurable solid tumor in brain/spine or pancreas, respectively, as  defined by RECIST v1.1 and identified by IRC. The study excluded patients with metastatic disease.  Patients received Belzutifan 120 mg once daily until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity.

The study population characteristics were: median age 41 years [range 19-66 years], 3.3% age 65 or  older; 53% male; 90% were White, 3.3% were Black or African-American, 1.6% were Asian, and 1.6%  were Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander; 82% had an ECOG PS of 0, 16% had an ECOG PS of 1,  and 1.6% had an ECOG PS of 2; and 84% had VHL Type I Disease. The median diameter of RCC target  lesions per central independent review committee (IRC) was 2.2 cm (range 1-6.1). Median time from  initial radiographic diagnosis of VHL-associated RCC tumors that led to enrollment on Study 004 to the  time of treatment with Belzutifan was 17.9 months (range 2.8-96.7). Seventy-seven percent of patients  had prior surgical procedures for RCC.

The major efficacy endpoint for the treatment of VHL-associated RCC was overall response rate (ORR)  measured by radiology assessment using RECIST v1.1 as assessed by IRC. Additional efficacy  endpoints included duration of response (DoR), and time to response (TTR).

Table 4 summarizes the efficacy results for VHL-associated RCC in Study 004.

For VHL-associated RCC, median TTR was 8 months (range 2.7, 19).  

Table 5 summarizes the efficacy results for VHL-associated pNET or CNS hemangioblastomas in  Study 004.

For VHL-associated CNS hemangioblastomas, TTR was 3.1 months (range 2.5, 11). For VHL-associated  pNET, median TTR was 8.1 months (range 2.7, 11). 

Decreases in size of CNS hemangioblastoma-associated peri-tumoral cysts and syringes were observed.
