Nivolumab + Ipilimumab With Immunostimulatory Embolization for Stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma With Unresected Primary

NCT04429321

Description:

This single center phase 1 trial will study the combination of nivolumab+ipilimumab with embolization in participants with renal cell carcinoma. The study will evaluate the safety of embolotherapy in patients with metastatic RCC receiving nivolumab+ipilimumab. The hypothesis is that the number of serious adverse events will be no greater than the number of serious adverse events for both therapies combined.

Purpose

This single center phase 1 trial will study the combination of nivolumab+ipilimumab with embolization in participants with renal cell carcinoma. The study will evaluate the safety of embolotherapy in patients with metastatic RCC receiving nivolumab+ipilimumab. The hypothesis is that the number of serious adverse events will be no greater than the number of serious adverse events for both therapies combined.

Detailed Description

      Previously untreated subjects with stage 4 RCC and unresected primary tumor or metastasis
      amenable to embolization will undergo two cycles of combination immune checkpoint inhibition
      (ICI) therapy, embolization of the target tumor, then resume ICI therapy. Study ends with
      safety and efficacy assessment at 6 months. Correlative blood and tissue specimens will be
      obtained.

Ipilimumab +Nivolumab with EmbolizationExperimentalPatients initiate ICI therapy with Nivolumab 3 mg/kg + ipilimumab 1/mg/kg IV every 3 weeks x 4 cycles, followed by nivolumab 480mg flat dose IV every four weeks for a total of 6 months of therapy unless stopped for confirmed progression or intolerable toxicities. Patients will receive 2 cycles of systemic therapy followed by embolization of their primary tumor or metastatic lesion(s) and continue systemic therapy subsequently.

             may potentially compromise the safety or compliance of the patient, or may preclude
             the patient's successful completion of the clinical trial.
