Pathway link TEM-RCC

Temsirolimus Renal cell carcinoma (RCC)

Temsirolimus inhibits Renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

In hard-to-treat kidney cancer, temsirolimus helped patients live longer compared with an older drug.

In poor-prognosis renal cancer, temsirolimus improved overall survival against interferon - the hardest endpoint there is.

The conditions it holds under

Poor-prognosis patients specifically; the combination arm did not beat temsirolimus alone.

Studies behind it

YearEvidenceStudy
2007 H Temsirolimus, interferon alfa, or both for advanced renal-cell carcinomaHUD2007 Temsirolimus alone extended median overall survival to 10.9 months versus 7.3 months with interferon alfa in poor-prognosis metastatic kidney cancer; rash, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia were more common with temsirolimus.

“Inhibits” describes the effect on the target's activity, not on how much of it there is.

“How settled” describes how far researchers in the field agree. It is not the same as the sign-off above, which only says whether a named curator has checked this page.
