New treatment option for Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
Official title Adding a Live Biotherapeutic Product (CBM588) to Pembrolizumab for the Treatment of Renal Cell Cancer After Surgery
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07037004
What this study is testing
What is Clostridium butyricum CBM588 Strain?
Clostridium butyricum CBM588 Strain is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Also referred to as C. butyricum CBM588 Strain, C. butyricum MIYAIRI Strain.
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
- This phase II trial compares the effect of adding a Live Biotherapeutic Product called CBM588 to pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone in preventing return of disease (recurrence) after surgery for patients with renal cell cancer. Pembrolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 12 months
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
