Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 190: IKCS Special! PRISM Trial - A game changer for Renal Cancer 2 Part Special (Part 1) Naveen Vasudev
Q: What are the practical implications for patients and clinicians?
If the 12-week schedule maintains efficacy with lower toxicity, it could improve tolerability, reduce discontinuations, and expand eligibility to a broader patient population, while preserving meaningful outcomes.
Episode 190: IKCS Special! PRISM Trial - A game changer for Renal Cancer 2 Part Special (Part 1) Naveen Vasudev
Q: What were the endpoints and why were they chosen?
The trial used safety as the primary endpoint (grade 3–4 treatment-related toxicities) with efficacy as a secondary endpoint due to practical challenges in powering a non-inferiority design; this design choice reflects a focus on whether a safer schedule can match efficacy.
Episode 191; IKCS Special! PRISM Trial - A game changer for Renal Cancer 2 Part Special (Part 2) Naveen Vasudev
Q: What are the practical steps a clinician should take to adopt this change?
Create a practical protocol, coordinate with pharmacy, plan the dosing schedule (ipilimumab-nivolumab induction followed by extended or split dosing), and outline scanning and monitoring timelines for patients.
Episode 191; IKCS Special! PRISM Trial - A game changer for Renal Cancer 2 Part Special (Part 2) Naveen Vasudev
Q: What did the process to implement this change look like in your NHS trust?
It involved building a formal justification, engaging patient groups, obtaining peer-reviewed support, and presenting to NHS England to update prescribing guidance, followed by establishing a dedicated protocol.
Episode 191; IKCS Special! PRISM Trial - A game changer for Renal Cancer 2 Part Special (Part 2) Naveen Vasudev
Q: Are you now doing this in clinical practice and what is your advice to others?
Yes, we are adopting the schedule where appropriate, with careful patient selection, clear patient discussions about two schedules, and implementing a separate protocol in our chemo care system to manage the logistics.
