Abstract We evaluated the association of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) polymorphisms with
the incidence of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) in
patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We also used lung-derived cell lines to investigate the mechanisms
of this association. Japanese patients with metastatic RCC who were treated with mTOR inhibitors were genotyped for the STAT3 polymorphism, rs4796793 (−1697C/G). We evaluated the association of the STAT3 genotype with the incidence of ILD and therapeutic outcome. In the 57 patients included in the primary analysis, the
ILD rate within 140 days was significantly… More >
