A PHASE 1B, OPEN LABEL, DOSE FINDING STUDY TO EVALUATE SAFETY, PHARMACOKINETICS AND PHARMACODYNAMICS OF AXITINIB (AG-013736) IN COMBINATION WITH PEMBROLIZUMAB (MK-3475) IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED RENAL CELL CANCER
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Axitinib and MK-3475 for Renal Cell Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 19 sites.
Detailed Summary
Despite substantial improvements of patients outcome in advanced RCC, durable and complete response is uncommon. The majority of patients eventually develop resistance and exhibit disease progression. Combining a PD-1 inhibitor, which has shown single-agent efficacy with axitinib may provide additional clinical benefit compared to axitinib alone.
