Perioperative Lenvatinib With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Locally Advanced Nonmetastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (NCT04393350)
WINSHIP4955-20: Perioperative Lenvatinib With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Locally Advanced Nonmetastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase II trial studies how well lenvatinib and pembrolizumab before surgery work in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread from its original site of growth to nearby tissues or lymph nodes but has not spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic). Lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenvatinib and pembrolizumab before surgery may kill more tumor cells.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (17 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (27 items).

- Exclusion Criteria:
- Evidence of metastatic disease on pre-treatment imaging
- The subject has received of any type of cytotoxic, biologic or other systemic anticancer therapy for kidney cancer
- The subject has received any other type of investigational agent within 28 days before the first dose of study treatment
- Excluding the primary tumor leading to enrollment in this study, any other active malignancy (except for localized prostate cancer, definitively treated melanoma in-situ, basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in-situ of the bladder or cervix) within the past 24 months
- Prior treatment with lenvatinib or any agent directed against PD-1, PD-L1 or PD-L2, or another stimulatory or co inhibitory T-cell receptor (e.g. CTLA-4, OX 40, CD137)
