VSV-IFNβ-NIS With Ipilimumab and Nivolumab for the Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

This phase II trial tests adding VSV-IFNβ-NIS to standard of care ipilimumab and nivolumab for the treatment of clear cell renal cell carcinoma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). A virus modified in the laboratory, such as VSV-IFNβ-NIS, may be able to kill tumor cells without damaging normal cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving VSV-IFNβ-NIS with ipilimumab and nivolumab may be effective for the treatment of advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

CBM588 in Combination With Nivolumab and Cabozantinib for the Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Kidney Cancer

This phase I trial evaluates the effects of CBM588 in combination with standard therapies, nivolumab and cabozantinib, in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced/metastatic). The digestive microbiome may have an effect on how patients respond to treatment, and previous research shows that a specific bacteria found in the gut (Bifidobacterium) may predispose participants to a better response to standard therapies. CBM588 is a strain of bacteria that can restore species of Bifidobacterium to the microbiome. The primary aim of this study is to determine how CBM588 changes the microbiome of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving CBM588, nivolumab, and cabozantinib may kill more tumor cells.

Lenvatinib With Everolimus Versus Cabozantinib for Second-Line or Third-Line Treatment of Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer

This phase II trial compares the effects of lenvatinib given in combination with everolimus to the effects of cabozantinib given alone in treating patients with renal cell cancer (RCC) that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and that got worse on a previous PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor. Lenvatinib, everolimus, and cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Immunotherapy (Nivolumab and Ipilimumab) With and Without a Live Biotherapeutic Product (EXL01) for the Treatment of Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer

This phase I trial tests the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab and ipilimumab with and without EXL01 for the treatment of renal cell cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. EXL01 is a live biotherapeutic product containing a strain of bacteria called Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. It may enhance a patient's response to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors like nivolumab and ipilimumab by altering the composition of the bacteria in the gut. Adding EXL01 to treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab may be safe and more effective than giving nivolumab and ipilimumab alone.

177LuPSMA in Renal Cell Carcinoma

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 177Lu-PSMA-617 as a systemic therapy in patients with PSMA-positive advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The name of the study drug involved in this research study is: -177Lu-PSMA-617 (a type of radioligand therapy)

Adding Biotherapy or Placebo to Standard Treatment for Advanced Kidney Cancer

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. The microbiome includes all of the bacteria and organisms naturally found in the digestive tract. MO-03, a type of biotherapy, contains material from living organisms that may help keep the digestive tract healthy and may help to increase the effect of immunotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib are a type of angiogenesis inhibitor and tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that block certain proteins which may help keep tumor cells from growing and may also help prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Adding MO-03 to SOC immunotherapy may be more effective than SOC immunotherapy alone in treating patients with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer.

RP2 and Tivozanib for the Treatment of Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer After Progression on Immunotherapy

This phase II trial tests the effect of RP2 and tivozanib in treating patients with renal cell cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive) after receiving immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). RP2 is a herpes simplex virus (a viral infection commonly known as the "cold sore virus") that has been changed to infect and destroy tumor cells and to activate (turn on) the human immune system to attack the tumor cells. Tivozanib hydrochloride blocks certain proteins, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Tivozanib hydrochloride is a type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor and a type of antiangiogenesis agent. Giving RP2 and tivozanib may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with metastatic renal cell cancer that has progressed after receiving immunotherapy with ICIs.

Study of HS-10516 Combination Therapy in Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase Ib/II clinical study evaluating the safety, efficacy, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profiles of HS-10516 in combination with lenvatinib in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who have progressed after receiving at least one prior line of systemic therapy. The study comprises two distinct phases: a dose exploration phase and a proof-of-concept phase.

Genetic Testing to Select Therapy for the Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Kidney Cancer, OPTIC RCC Study

This phase II trial tests whether using genetic testing of tumor tissue to select the optimal treatment regimen works in treating patients with clear cell renal cell (kidney) cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced or metastatic). The current Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved regimens for advanced kidney cancer fall into two categories. One treatment combination includes two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab plus ipilimumab), which are delivered by separate intravenous infusions into a vein. The other combination is one immunotherapy drug (nivolumab infusion) plus an oral pill taken by mouth (cabozantinib). Nivolumab and ipilimumab are "immunotherapies" which release the brakes of the immune system, thus allowing the patient's own immune system to better kill cancer cells. Cabozantinib is a "targeted therapy" specifically designed to block certain biological mechanisms needed for growth of cancer cells. In kidney cancer, cabozantinib blocks a tumor's blood supply. The genetic (DNA) makeup of the tumor may affect how well it responds to therapy. Testing the makeup (genes) of the tumor, may help match a treatment (from one of the above two treatment options) to the specific cancer and increase the chance that the disease will respond to treatment. The purpose of this study is to learn if genetic testing of tumor tissue may help doctors select the optimal treatment regimen to which advanced kidney cancer is more likely to respond.

A Clinical Research of CD70-targeted CAR-NKT Cells (CGC738) Therapy in RCC

This is a phase I, open-label, single-arm study conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and PK of CGC738 in the treatment of advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

CBM588 Capsules in Combination With Nivolumab and Ipilimumab for the Treatment of Advanced Stage Kidney Cancer

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of CBM588 in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with kidney cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). CBM588 is a live biotherapeutic that may help improve the effects of immunotherapy. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread by enhancing the ability of the body's immune cells to attack tumor cells. CBM588 in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with advanced stage kidney cancer.
