About this trial

This study is testing whether adding a 5-day fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) can help people with advanced kidney cancer when given together with standard first-line cancer medicines.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subjects voluntarily participate in the study and sign the informed consent form.

Age ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form; males or females are eligible.

Pathologically confirmed advanced renal cell carcinoma (metastatic or unresectable) with predominant clear cell histology.

No prior systemic anti-tumor therapy (except for cytokine therapy).

Disqualifiers

Prior receipt of any systemic anti-tumor therapy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), including systemic chemotherapy, anti-angiogenic therapy, molecular targeted therapy, immunotherapy containing anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies, and immune checkpoint agonist antibodies (e.g., anti-ICOS, anti-CD40, anti-CD137, anti-GITR, or anti-OX40 antibodies).

Unintentional weight loss ≥5% within the past 3 months, unless the patient has BMI >22 kg/m² and weight loss at study entry is <10%; or unintentional weight loss ≥10% within the past 3 months, unless the patient has BMI >25 kg/m² and weight loss at study entry is <15% (in both cases, body weight must have been stable for at least 1 month prior to study entry).

Body mass index (BMI) <20 kg/m².

Moderate or high nutritional risk according to the Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) assessment.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Fasting mimicking diet

    Dietary supplement

    The fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) consists of a 5-day regimen: day 1 supplies 600 kcal (10-17% protein, 30-35% fat, 51-59% carbohydrate), days 2-5 are identical in formulation and provide 300 kcal (11-17% protein, 73-77% fat, 8-12% carbohydrate).

  • Toripalimab

    Drug

    Toripalimab 240 mg IV every 3 weeks (240 mg Q3W) on a 21-day cycle

  • Axitinib

    Drug

    Axitinib 5 mg orally twice daily (BID).
