Neoadjuvant of Axitinib Plus PD-1 to Improve Disease Free Survival of Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Renal Cell Carcinoma
Neoadjuvant
Interventions
Procedure: nephrectomy
Registration Number
NCT05738694
Lead Sponsor
ZHOU FANGJIAN
Brief Summary

The study included 246 RCC patients who were at high risk for recurrence after nephrectomy (T2G3-4 or T3-4 or N1). They were randomly divided to receive axitinib plus PD-1 + surgery or surgery alone at a ratio of 1:1, so as to determine the efficacy of the neoadjuvant combination of axitinib plus PD-1.

Detailed Description

Given the good results of TKI plus PD-1 in our previous cases and its good effect on advanced RCC, we plan to eliminate tumor micrometastases and improve anti-tumor immunity with the neoadjuvant combination of axitinib plus PD-1, so as to improve patient outcomes. The study included 246 RCC patients who were at high risk for recurrence after nephrectomy (T2G3-4 or T3-4 or N1). They were randomly divided to receive axitinib plus PD-1 + surgery or surgery alone at a ratio of 1:1, so as to determine the efficacy of the neoadjuvant combination of axitinib plus PD-1 and provide evidence-based medical evidence for clinical perioperative treatment of these patients.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
disease-free survival (DFS)2 years

To evaluate the efficacy of the neoadjuvant combination of axitinib plus PD-1 in improving the 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) in RCC patients with high-risk for recurrent (T2G3-4 or T3-4, or N1). Disease-free survival (DFS) is defined as time from registration to disease progression or death.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
objective response rate (ORR)3 years

CR and PR rate as assessed by RECIST 1.1

overall survival (OS)3 years

overall survival (OS) is defined as the period between the date of randomization and the date of death from any cause

adverse event management3 years

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

The cancer-specific survival (CSS)3 years

cancer specific survival (CSS) is defined as the period between the date of randomization and the date of death from renal cancer.

major pathological response (MPR)3 years

MPR (≤10% viable malignant cells per local pathology assessment)
