1INVAC-1: DNA vaccine encoding human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). 2Patient underwent two rechallenges of nivolumab which were independently compared to the first ICI regimen. CR, complete response; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease; PD, progressive disease; IMDC, International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium; ICI, immune checkpoint inhibitor; NA, not available.
