Description

Summary

Substudy 03B is part of a larger research study that is testing experimental treatments for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The larger study is the umbrella study (U03).

The goal of substudy 03B is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of experimental combinations of investigational agents in participants with advanced second line plus (2L+) clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

This substudy will have two phases: a safety lead-in phase and an efficacy phase. The safety lead-in phase will be used to demonstrate a tolerable safety profile for the combination of investigational agents. There will be no hypothesis testing in this study.

  • Has experienced disease progression on or after having received systemic. treatment for locally advanced or metastatic RCC with a PD-(L)1 checkpoint inhibitor (in sequence or in combination with a vascular endothelial growth factor. - tyrosine kinase inhibitor [VEGF-TKI]) where PD-(L)1 checkpoint inhibitor treatment progression is defined by meeting ALL of the following criteria: (a) has received ≥2 doses of an anti-PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) (b) has shown radiographic disease progression during or after an anti-PD-(L)1 mAb as defined by RECIST 1.1 by investigator (c) disease progression has been documented within 12 weeks from the last dose of an anti-PD-(L)1 mAb
  • Has experienced disease progression on or after having received systemic treatment for locally advanced or metastatic RCC with a VEGF-TKI (in sequence or in combination with a PD-[L]1 checkpoint inhibitor) where VEGF-TKI treatment progression is defined by meeting the following criterion: has shown radiographic disease progression during or after a treatment with a VEGF-TKI as defined by RECIST 1.1 by investigator.
