A Phase 2 interventional study of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in Renal Cell Carcinoma, sponsored by Kidney Cancer Research Bureau. Status unknown at 2 sites in Russian Federation. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-12-23.

The aim of this Phase 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, and ipilimumab, an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, in T1aN0M0 clear-cell RCC patients ineligible for surgical treatment.
Surgery remains the standard curative-intent therapy for localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Thus, systemic therapy for RCC should still be considered only in patients who have contraindications to surgery.
Results of Phase 3 CheckMate 214 study showed that a combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab has a significant impact on tumor burden in intermediate- and poor-risk metastatic RCC patients with a complete response rate of 11% (Motzer et al. Lancet Oncology 2019). Median time to objective response was 2.8 months. Among all complete responders to nivolumab plus ipilimumab in the intention-to-treat population, 5% achieved a complete response at the first scan, whereas most converted from the partial response at a median of 6.9 months or from the stable disease at a median of 11.3 months.
We hypothesize that this combination could completely eliminate primary tumors in patients with small primary (less than 4 cm) ineligible for surgical treatment. There are no studies evaluating checkpoint inhibitors in this setting in RCC patients.

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
