Guidelines

Given the rapid change in evidence in many areas of hematology/oncology, readers are encouraged to consider any guideline published 5+ years ago to be for historical purposes, only.

NCCN


Metastatic disease, first-line

Everolimus monotherapy

Regimen

Study Dates of enrollment Evidence Comparator Comparative Efficacy
Tannir et al. 2015 (ESPN) 2010-2013 Randomized Phase 2 (E-switch-ic) Sunitinib Did not meet primary endpoint of PFS
Armstrong et al. 2016 (ASPENRCC) 2010-2013 Randomized Phase 2 (E-switch-ic) Sunitinib Might have inferior PFS (primary endpoint)

Note: ASPEN should not be confused with the trial by the same name in Waldenström macroglobulinemia.

Targeted therapy

Continued indefinitely

Dose and schedule modifications

  • ESPN: Dose can be reduced to 5 mg PO once per day or every other day if needed based on tolerability
