Recruiting PHASE3 Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

New treatment option for Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Official title Adding Biotherapy or Placebo to Standard Treatment for Advanced Kidney Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07383441

What this study is testing

What is Axitinib?

Axitinib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Also referred to as AG 013736, AG-013736.

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 III trial compares the effect of adding live biotherapy, MO-03, to standard of care (SOC) immunotherapy, including ipilimumab, nivolumab, axitinib, pembrolizumab, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib, to SOC immunotherapy alone in treating patients with clear cell renal cell cancer that may have spread from where it first started (primary site) to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic). Studies have shown that gut health (the gut microbiome) may impact the effectiveness of immunotherapy.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • Time commitment: about 3 years
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
