Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

New treatment option for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Official title A Study of Abemaciclib and Cabozantinib in People With Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06835972

What this study is testing

What is Abemaciclib?

Abemaciclib is an investigational medicine, given as a twice-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the combination of abemaciclib and cabozantinib is a safe and effective treatment for people with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and translocation-associated renal cell cancer (tRCC). The researchers will test different doses of the study drugs to find the highest doses that cause few or mild side effects in participants.
