The objective of this study was to describe the survival of real-world patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC) across Norway and to identify associated factors. The results may provide additional information on the benefits of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in clinical practice.Patients and Methods: We performed a longitudinal, retrospective, non-interventional cohort study using data from four national registries. The study included adults diagnosed with mRCC between 1 January 1995 and 31 December 2018. Primary endpoint was to evaluate overall survival (OS) in all included patients. Secondary endpoints included further analysis of treatment patterns and possible impact on OS. Secondary endpoint analysis was performed in patients diagnosed with mRCC between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2018, as complete data on systemic therapies were available from 2008 and onwards.Results: In total, 4078 patients were diagnosed with mRCC in the period from 1995 to 2018. The median OS since initial mRCC diagnosis was 1.17 years. OS appeared to improve over time, 5-year OS was 10% in patients diagnosed in the period 1995– 2001 compared to 25% in 2012– 2015. The secondary analysis included 2338 patients. Fifty-five percent (55%) of the patients received systemic treatment. No differences were observed in the number of treatment lines administered over time or in the number of lines of treatment administered according to tumor histology. Among 343 patients who received ≥ 3 treatment lines, we observed longer OS in patients who received an ICI as a part of their treatment, with a median OS of 4.51 compared to 2.31 years.Conclusion: Provision of information into registries is mandatory in Norway. This retrospective, registry-based study provides real-world evidence on patient outcomes and treatments of the Norwegian patients with mRCC in the period from 1995 to 2018.Keywords: real-world data, immunotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, Norway, renal cell carcinoma
