A Study of AK104 Plus Axitinib in Advanced/Metastatic Special Pathological Subtypes of Renal Cell Carcinoma
Summary
This is a Phase Ib/II, open-label, single arm trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AK104 in combination with axitinib as a first-line treatment for advanced/metastatic special pathological subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (ssRCC). Subjects will receive AK104 plus axitinib until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxic effects, death, a decision by the physician or patient to withdraw from the trial. Primary objective: Phase Ib: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of different doses of cadonilimab combined with axitinib as first-line therapy in subjects with advanced RCC with special pathological types to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). Phase II: To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of cadonilumab combined with axitinib as first-line therapy in subjects with advanced RCC with special pathological types according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria.
