Study summary

Through the neoadjuvant treatment with a combination of Pucotenlimab and Vorolanib, it enabled the successful and safe implementation of partial nephrectomy in patients with localized renal cancer, who had indications for nephron-sparing surgery but faced considerable difficulty in preserving the kidney (T1b with an endophytic component ≥75% or T2)

  • Experimental
    Pucotenlimab combination with Vorolanib as neoadjuvant therapy

    Vorolanib Treatment Vorolanib 200mg orally once daily, with or without food.Intravenous Infusion of Pucotenlimab(Injection) Infuse Pucotenlimab at a dose of 200mg intravenously every three weeks, constituting one treatment cycle, the maximum duration of treatment should not exceed 4 cycles.Perform imaging evaluation after 2 cycles, including renal CT plain scan+enhancement, measurement of tumor volume, and evaluation of ORR. If PD is detected in the first imaging assessment, the study will be terminated. According to the current diagnosis and treatment routine, communicate with the patient about the follow-up treatment plan:Radical nephrectomy; Utilization of other targeted therapies; Combination targeted therapy with immunotherapy. If the tumor shrinks significantly and the surgeon evaluates that partial nephrectomy can be safely performed, drug therapy should be stopped and partial nephrectomy should be performed; otherwise, continue treatment to 4 cycles before surgery.
