Öğe The association between antibiotic use and survival in renal cell carcinoma patients treated with immunotherapy: a multi-center study(Mosby Inc., 2021) Güven, Deniz Can; Acar, Ramazan; Yekedüz, Emre; Bilgetekin, İrem; Baytemur, Naziyet Kose; Erol, Cihan; Ceylan, Furkan Sacit; Kılıçkap, SaadettinBackground: Immunotherapy improves overall survival (OS) in the second and later lines of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treatment. Recent studies have suggested that antibiotic (ATB) use either shortly before or after the start of immunotherapy could lead to decreased OS. Herein, we evaluate the impact of ATB use on OS in RCC patients treated with nivolumab in a multi-center cohort from Turkey. Methods: The data of 93 metastatic RCC patients treated with nivolumab in the second line or later were retrospectively collected from 6 oncology centers. Previous treatments, sites of metastases, International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium risk classification, and ATB use in the three months before (-3) or three months after (+3) the start of immunotherapy were recorded together with survival data. The association of clinical factors with OS and progression-free survival (PFS) was analyzed with univariate and multivariable analyses. Results: The median age was 61 (interquartile range 54-67), and 76.3% of the patients were male. The median OS of the cohort was 23.75 ± 4.41, and the PFS was 8.44 ± 1.61 months. Thirty-one (33.3%) patients used ATBs in the 3 months before (-3) or 3 months after (+3) nivolumab initiation. In the multivariable analyses, ATB exposure (HR: 2.306, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.155-4.601, P = 0.018) and the presence of brain metastases at the baseline (HR: 2.608, 95% CI: 1.200-5.666, P = 0.015) had a statistically significant association with OS, while ATB exposure was the only statistically significant parameter associated with PFS (HR: 2.238, 95% CI: 1.284-3.900, P = 0.004). Conclusion: In our study, patients with ATB exposure in the 3 months before or 3 months after the start of immunotherapy had shorter OS. Our findings further support meticulous risk–benefit assessments of prescribing ATBs for patients who are either receiving or are expected to receive immunotherapy.Öğe The benefit of treatment beyond progression with immune checkpoint inhibitors: A multi-center retrospective cohort study(Springer, 2022) Güven, Deniz Can; Yekedüz, Emre; Erul, Enes; Coşkun Yazgan, Sati; Şahin, Taha Koray; Karataş, Göktürk; Aksoy, Sercan; Erman, Mustafa; Yalçın, Suayib; Urun, Yüksel; Kılıçkap, SaadettinObjective: Treatment beyond progression (TBP) with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is an evolving field due to the limitations of conventional imaging in response evaluation. However, real-life data on the benefit of TBP is scarce, especially from the limited resource settings and patients treated in the later lines. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the survival benefit of TBP with ICIs in patients with advanced tumors from a limited resource setting. Methods: For this multi-center retrospective cohort study, we included 282 patients treated with ICIs and had radiological progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. We evaluated post-progression survival according to the use of TBP (TBP and non-TBP groups) with univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: The cohort's median age was 61, and 84.4% were treated in the second or later lines. 82 (29.1%) of 282 patients continued on ICIs following the initial progression. In multivariate analyses, patients in the TBP group had improved post-progression survival compared to non-TBP (13.18 vs. 4.63 months, HR: 0.500, 95% CI: 0.349-0.717, p < 0.001). The benefit of the TBP was independent of the tumor type, treatment line, and age. Furthermore, TBP with ICIs remained associated with improved post-progression survival (HR: 0.600, 95% CI: 0.380-0.947, p = 0.028) after excluding the patients with no further treatment after progression in the non-TBP arm. Conclusions: In this study, we observed that patients receiving ICIs beyond progression had considerably longer survival. Continuation of ICIs after progression should be considered a reasonable management option for patients with advanced cancer, specifically for patients with limited alternative options.Öğe Clinical outcomes of concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors and regorafenib in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: a multicenter study(SPRINGER, 2022) Yekedüz, Emre; Özbay, Mehmet Fatih; Çaglayan, Dilek; Yıldırım, Atila; Erol, CihanAim To compare survival outcomes, response rates, and adverse events (AEs) in proton pump inhibitor (PPI) user and nonuser patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with regorafenib. Methods We included 272 patients with mCRC treated with regorafenib in this study. Patients were divided into two categories according to their status of PPI use. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoints were time to treatment failure (TTF), response rates, and safety. To exclude immortal time bias in survival analyses, we compared PPI non-user patients and all patients. Results There were 141 and 131 patients in the PPI non-user and user groups. Baseline characteristics were similar in each group. Pantoprazole was the most used PPI. At the median 35.2 (95% confidence interval (CI): 32.6-37.9) months follow-up, the median OS was similar in PPI non-user and all patients (6.9 months (95% CI: 5.3-8.5) and 7.7 months (95% CI:6.6-8.8), p = 0.913). TTF was also similar in PPI non-user and all patients (3.3 months (95% CI: 2.7-3.9) and 3.5 months (95% CI: 3.0-4.0), p = 0.661). In multivariable analysis, no statistically significant difference was observed between PPI user and nonuser groups in OS and TTF (hazard ratio (HR), 0.99; 95% CI, 0.77-1.28; p = 0.963 for OS; HR, 0.93; 0.77-1.20, p = 0.598 for TTF). The objective response rates (ORR) were similar in the PPI non-user and user groups (19.8% and 16.8%, p = 0.455). The rates of any grade AEs were also similar in each group. Conclusion This study found no worse outcome in the combined use of PPI and regorafenib among patients with mCRC.Öğe Clinical outcomes of concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors and regorafenib in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: A multicenter study(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022) Yekedüz, Emre; Özbay, Mehmet Fatih; Çağlayan, Dilek; Yıldırım, Atila; Erol, Cihan; Yıldırım, Hasan Çağrı; Tunç, Sezai; Özyurt, Neslihan; Özdemir, Feyyaz; Şendur, Mehmet Ali Nahit; Kılıçkap, SaadettinClinical outcomes of concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors and regorafenib in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: A multicenter studyÖğe External Validation of a Novel Risk Model in Patients With Favorable Risk Renal Cell Carcinoma Defined by International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC): Results From the Turkish Oncology Group Kidney Cancer Consortium (TKCC) Database(Elsevier, 2022) Yekedüz, Emre; Karakaya, Serdar; Ertürk, İsmail; Tural, Deniz; Uçar, Gökhan; Öztaş, Nihan Şentürk; Özgüroğlu, Mustafa; Küçükarda, Ahmet; Sever, Özlem Nuray; Kılıçkap, Saadettin; Öksüzoğlu, Berna; Demirci, Umut; Arıkan, NuriyeBackground: A novel prognostic model was recommended for patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC) by the International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC). In this study, we aimed to externally validate a novel risk model for the IMDC-favorable risk group in patients with mRCC. Methods: The Turkish Oncology Group Kidney Cancer Consortium (TKCC) is a multicenter registry that includes 13 cancer centers in Turkey. As described by Schmidt et al., 3 parameters (ie, time from diagnosis to systemic therapy <3 vs. ?3 years, Karnofsky Performance Status [KPS] 80 vs. >80, and the presence of brain, liver, or bone metastasis) were used to divide the IMDC favorable risk group into 2 new categories: very favorable and favorable risk groups. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Time to treatment failure (TTF) and objective response rate (ORR) in the very favorable and favorable risk groups were the secondary endpoints. Results: A total of 545 patients with mRCC from all IMDC risk groups and 112 patients from the favorable risk group were included in this study. According to the novel classification model, 44 (39.3%) and 68 (60.7%) patients with former favorable risk were categorized into very favorable and favorable risk groups, respectively. The median OS (55.8 months vs. 34.2 months, P = .025) and TTF (25.5 months vs. 15.5 months, P = .010) were longer in the very favorable risk group than in the favorable risk group. The concordance index of the new IMDC model in all patients was 0.65 for OS. Despite the higher ORR in the very favorable risk group than in the favorable risk group, the difference between the groups was not statistically significant (52.4% vs. 44.7, P = .573). Conclusions: This was the first study to externally validate the novel IMDC risk model presented in the American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers Symposium 2021.Öğe Nivolumab in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: results from the Turkish Oncology Group Kidney Cancer Consortium database(Future Medicine, 2021) Yekedüz, Emre; Ertürk, İsmail; Tural, Deniz; Karadurmuş, Nuri; Karakaya, Serdar; Kılıçkap, SaadettinAim: The authors present real-world data on the efficacy and safety of nivolumab in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Methods: The Turkish Oncology Group Kidney Cancer Consortium (TKCC) database includes patients with mRCC from 13 cancer centers in Turkey. Patients with mRCC treated with nivolumab in the second line and beyond were extracted from the TKCC database. Results: A total of 173 patients were included. The rates of patients treated with nivolumab in the second, third, fourth and fifth lines were 47.4%, 32.4%, 14.5% and 5.7%, respectively. The median overall survival and progression-free survival were 24.2 months and 9.6 months, respectively. Nivolumab was discontinued owing to adverse events in 11 (6.4%) patients. Conclusion: Nivolumab was effective in patients with mRCC and no new safety signal was observed.Öğe The relationship between pan-immune-inflammation value and survival outcomes in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with nivolumab in the second line and beyond: A Turkish oncology group kidney cancer consortium (TKCC) study(Springer, 2022) Tural, Deniz; Yekedüz, Emre; Ertürk, İsmail; Karakaya, Serdar; Erol, Cihan; Ercelep, Özlem; Arslan, Çağatay; Sever, Özlem Nuray; Şentürk Öztaş, Nihan; Küçükarda, Ahmet; Can, Orçun; Öksüzoğlu, Berna; Şendur, Mehmet Ali; Karadurmuş, Nuri; Urun, Yüksel; Kılıçkap, SaadettinBackground Pan-immune-infammation value (PIV) is an easily accessible immune marker based on peripheral blood to estimate prognosis in patients with cancer. This study evaluates the prognostic value of PIV in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with nivolumab. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, patients with mRCC treated with nivolumab in the second line and beyond were selected from the Turkish Oncology Group Kidney Cancer Consortium (TKCC) database. PIV was calculated using the following formula: neutrophil (103 /mm3 ) x monocyte (103 /mm3 ) x platelet (103 /mm3 )/lymphocyte (103 /mm3 ). Results A total of 152 patients with mRCC were included in this study. According to cut-of value for PIV, 77 (50.7%) and 75 (49.3%) patients fell into PIV-low (? 372) and PIV-high (>372) groups, respectively. In multivariate analysis, PIV-high (HR: 1.64, 95% CI 1.04–2.58, p=0.033 for overall survival (OS); HR: 1.55, 95% CI 1.02–2.38, p=0.042 for progression-free survival (PFS)) was independent risk factor for OS and PFS after adjusting for confounding variables, such as performance score, the International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC) risk score, and liver metastasis. Conclusion This study established that pre-treatment PIV might be a prognostic biomarker in patients with mRCC treated with nivolumab in the second line and beyond.Öğe The relationship between systemic immune inflammation index and survival in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinomatreated withtyrosine kinase inhibitors(Nature Research, 2022) Yücel, Kadriye Bir; Yekedüz, Emre; Karakaya, Serdar; Tural, Deniz; Ertürk, İsmail; Erol, Cihan; Ercelep, Özlem; Öztaş Şentürk, Nihan; Arslan, Çağatay; Uçar, Gökhan; Küçükarda, Ahmet; Sever, Özlem Nuray; Kılıçkap, Saadettin; Can, Orçun; Yazgan, Satı Çoskun; Öksüzoğlu, Berna; Karadurmuş, Nuri; Şendur, Mehmet Ali; Ürün, YükselThis study aims to investigate the prognostic value of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII)and its impact on survival in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). A total of 706patients with mRCC treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)between January 2007 and June 2020 (i.e., sunitinib, pazopanib) were included in this study. SII was calculated in 621 patients with the following formula:[neutrophil (cellsx109/L) x platelet (cellsx109/L)] / lymphocyte (cellsx109/L).All patients were classified into SII-high and SII-low groups based on the cut-off value of SII at 756, which was the median SII level of our study group. The minimal follow-up duration was 10 months in all cohorts. The median age of patients was 60 (interquartile range (IQR):53–67) years. Three out of four patients were male. The majority of patients (85.7%) had clear cell histology, and sarcomatoid differentiation was observed in 16.9% of all patients. There were 311 and 310 patients in the SII-low and SII-high groups, respectively. In general, baseline characteristics were similar in each group. However, the rate of patients treated with sunitinib (63.3% vs. 49.0%, p < 0.001) and those who underwent nephrectomy (83.6% vs. 64.2%, p < 0.001) was higher in the SII-low group than in the SII-high group. On the other hand, patients with the IMDC poorrisk (31.6% vs. 8.0%, p < 0.001), those with bone (51.8% vs. 32.2%, p < 0.001) or central nervous system (12.9% vs. 5.8%, p = 0.026) metastasis, and those with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG) 2–4 performance score (28.1% vs.17.7%, p = 0.002) were more common in the SII-high group than in the SII-low group. The median overall survival (OS) was longer in the SII-low group than in the SII-high group (34.6 months vs. 14.5 months, p < 0.001). Similarly, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was longer in the SII-low group than in the SII-high group (18.0 months vs. 7.7 months, p < 0.001).In multivariableanalysis, SII was an independent prognostic factor for OS (hazard ratio (HR):1.39, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.05–1.85, p = 0.01) and PFS (HR:1.60, 95% CI:1.24–2.05, p < 0.001).Pre-treatment level of high SII might be considered a predictor of poor prognosisin patients with mRCC treated with TKIs.Öğe Treatment patterns and attrition in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: real-life experience from the Turkish oncology group kidney cancer consortium (TKCC) database(Elsevier inc., 2025) Bölek, Hatice; Sertesen, Elif; Kuzu, Ömer Faruk; Tural, Deniz; Sim, Saadet; Nahit Şendur, Mehmet Ali; Uçar, Gökhan; Işık, Selver; Hacıoğlu, Bekir; Çiçin, İrfan; Arslan, Çağatay; Göksu, Sema Sezgin; Sever, Özlem Nuray; Karaçin, Cengiz; Karadurmuş, Nuri; Özgüroğlu, Mustafa; Yekedüz, Emre; Ürün, YükselIntroduction: Despite the rapid evolution in management of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) over the past decade, challenges remain in accessing new therapies in some parts of the world. Despite therapeutic advancements, attrition rates remain persistently high. This study aims to assess the treatment patterns and attrition rates of patients with mRCC in oncology clinics across Turkey. Patients and Methods: Patients diagnosed with mRCC between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2022, with first-line systemic treatment data, were retrospectively evaluated using the Turkish Oncology Group Kidney Cancer Consortium (TKCC) Database. Results: The final analysis included a total of 1126 patients. The percentages of patients treated in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th lines of therapy were 62.8%, 27.4%, 8.9%, and 2.1%, respectively. The drugs that were most commonly used in the groups were tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (52.2%) and interferon (IFN)-alpha (43.3%) for the first line, TKIs (66.3%) and immunotherapy (IO) monotherapy (25.9%) for the second line, TKI (41.4%) and mTOR inhibitors (28.8%) for the third line, TKI (44.4%) and mTOR inhibitors (29%) for the fourth line, and IO monotherapy (37.5%) and TKI (25%) for the fifth line. For the first-line treatment, the primary cause of attrition was disease progression (66.4%), followed by toxicity (16.5%), death (11.2%), and patient preference (5.9%). The primary reason for attrition across all treatment lines was disease progression. Over time, the use of TKIs in first-line treatment increased, while IFN-alpha usage declined. IOs began to be utilized in earlier lines, predominantly in second-line treatment, though use of IO-based combination therapies remains limited. Conclusion: This study underscores that despite significant progress in therapeutic options, the adoption of novel agents remains slow, and attrition rates are still high. These findings indicate a disparity in systemic therapy compared to developed countries.Öğe Treatment patterns and attrition in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: real-life experience from the Turkish oncology group kidney cancer consortium (TKCC) database(CIG media group, 2024) Bölek, Hatice; Sertesen, Elif; Kuzu, Ömer Faruk; Tural, Deniz; Sim, Saadet; Şendur, Mehmet Ali Nahit; Uçar, Gökhan; Işık, Selver; Hacıoğlu, Bekir; Çiçin, İrfan; Arslan, Çağatay; Göksu, Sema Sezgin; Sever, Özlem Nuray; Karaçin, Cengiz; Karadurmuş, Nuri; Özgüroğlu, Mustafa; Yekedüz, Emre; Ürün, YükselThe inclusion of patients with more favorable prognoses in clinical trials imits generalizability to broader and more diverse patient group.
