About this trial

This three-arm randomized phase 2 trial will enroll advanced clear cell RCC patients (all IMDC risk groups). Patients will be randomized 2:2:1 to either Arm A (fianlimab/ cemiplimab/ ipilimumab), Arm B (fianlimab/ cemiplimab), or Arm C (standard ipilimumab/ nivolumab), respectively.

Histological or cytological evidence of renal cell carcinoma having a clear cell component

Disqualifiers

Prior systemic therapy against renal cell carcinoma in the neo/adjuvant or metastatic setting

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

ORR is defined as confirmed complete response (CR) + confirmed partial response (PR) and will be determined as per RECIST 1.1.

Time frame
2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)

PFS is defined as the time from Day 1 of treatment to the first documented disease progression per RECIST 1.1, clinically progressive disease per investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
5 years
2

12-month Progression Free Survival (PFS)

PFS is defined as the time from Day 1 of treatment to the first documented disease progression per RECIST 1.1, clinically progressive disease per investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
12 months
3

24-month Progression Free Survival (PFS)

PFS is defined as the time from Day 1 of treatment to the first documented disease progression per RECIST 1.1, clinically progressive disease per investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
24 months
4

Duration of Response (DOR)

DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR per RECIST 1.1 until disease progression based on RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
5 years
