New treatment option for Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
Official title Phase 1 Study Of LNK001 In Advanced Or Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07564232
What this study is testing
What is Cyclophosphamide?
Cyclophosphamide is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Also referred to as Cytoxan.
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
- There are 2 parts to this clinical research study: Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Dose Expansion). The goal of Part 1 is to find the recommended dose of LNK001 in patients with advanced or metastatic ccRCC.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
