Clinical Trials for Kidney Cancer

A Phase 1a/1b Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of STK-012 As a Single Agent and in Combination Therapy in Patients with Selected Advanced Solid Tumors

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: This trial enrolls adults with advanced solid tumors—including specific expansion cohorts for RCC, NSCLC, and PD-L1-negative NSCLC—who have progressed after or cannot tolerate standard therapies or are treatment naïve for metastatic disease without actionable mutations. Patients receive STK-012, an engineered IL-2 partial agonist that selectively stimulates CD25+ T cells with reduced toxicity risk, as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab, and in NSCLC, with pembrolizumab plus pemetrexed and carboplatin.

A Phase 1a/1b, Open-Label, Multi-Center, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of HFB200301 (TNFR2 Agonist Antibody) as a Single Agent and in Combination With Tislelizumab (Anti-PD-1 Antibody) in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
