Why carry out this study?
A network meta-analysis was performed, evaluating approved first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
This provided an up-to-date, comprehensive analysis of phase II/III randomized controlled trial data.
What was learned from this study?
No significant efficacy differences between approved first-line TKIs were observed.
Tivozanib ranked the most favourable in the analysis of grade 3 and 4 adverse events.
This produced indirect evidence to support clinical decisions and planning of future trials.
