Clinical Trials for Kidney Cancer

An Open-Label, Phase I, Dose-Finding Study of CBM588 in Combination With Nivolumab/Ipilimumab for Patients With Advanced Stage Renal Cell Carcinoma

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with previously untreated advanced/metastatic clear cell or sarcomatoid RCC (IMDC intermediate/poor risk, ECOG 0–2) receive nivolumab plus ipilimumab with the investigational oral live biotherapeutic CBM588 (Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588), a gut microbiome modulator that increases short‑chain fatty acids (e.g., butyrate) to potentially enhance checkpoint inhibitor efficacy. Includes induction with nivo/ipi plus CBM588 followed by maintenance nivolumab plus CBM588 until progression or toxicity.

A Phase 2 Open-label Study of Nivolumab Combined With Lutetium 177-Labeled Anti-Carbonic Anhydrase IX Monoclonal Antibody Girentuximab in Patients With Clear Cell Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

Investigational drug late phase

The trial is testing an investigational drug and is at least phase 2, suggesting that the drug has shown promise in phase 1 studies and might have a high chance of working well compared to other investigational drugs.

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with unresectable or metastatic clear cell RCC that is CAIX-positive and previously treated with at least one PD‑1/PD‑L1–containing regimen receive nivolumab plus 177Lu‑girentuximab, a radiolabeled anti‑CAIX monoclonal antibody delivering beta radiation to CAIX‑expressing tumor cells. Eligibility requires evaluable disease on 89Zr‑girentuximab PET/CT, KPS ≥70, and adequate organ function; key exclusions include prior 177Lu‑girentuximab, uncontrolled CNS disease, significant autoimmune toxicity, and recent radionuclide therapy.
