About this trial

This phase 2 trial aims to test the feasibility and efficiency of PET/CT-directed treatment interruption strategy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients with IMDC favorable/intermediate risk who achieve complete (CMR) or partial metabolic response (PMR) after ≥12 months of first-line PD-1/PD-L1 Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)+ VEGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. It helps figure out whether PET/CT can safely direct treatment pause as well as explores a new individualized treatment option based on metabolic imaging for RCC patients.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Progression-free survival (PFS) rate

Proportion of participants alive and without disease progression at 24 months will be assessed according to PERCIST 1.0 criteria.

Time frame
24 months from treatment initiation

Secondary outcomes

1

Duration of response (DoR)

Time from first documented complete metabolic response (CMR) or partial metabolic response (PMR) to disease progression or death.

Time frame
From treatment interruption until disease progression or death, assessed up to 24 months
2

Overall survival (OS)

Time from date of enrollment to date of death due to any cause.

Time frame
From treatment initiation until death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years
3

Progression free survival (PFS)

Time from first study drug administration to first documented objective disease progression (PD) or death, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
From treatment initiation until disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years
4

Overall safety profile

Frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) graded by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0 criteria.

Time frame
From the date of the first study drugs administration up to 90 days after the last dose of study drugs administration

Other outcomes

1

Metabolic response assessed by serial PET/CT

Metabolic response and changes of FDG-uptake values on serial PET/CT during this trial will be assessed and documented.

Time frame
Baseline to 24 months from treatment initiation
2

Biobanking for future research

Collection of serial peripheral blood samples and other biologic specimens during the trial for subsequent exploratory biomarker studies.

Time frame
Baseline to 24 months from treatment initiation
