Toripalimab Combined With Axitinib as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Patients With Non-metastatic Locally Advanced Nonmetastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Neoadjuvant Therapy of Non-metastatic Locally Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04118855
Lead Sponsor
RenJi Hospital
Brief Summary

This study is design to prospectively investigate the safety and efficacy of Toripalimab combined with Axitinib in downsizing tumors in patients with nonmetastatic biopsy-proven clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Toripalimab is new antibody that may help activate the immune system by blocking the function of an inhibitory molecule, Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1). This is a single-institution, single-arm phase 2 clinical trial.

Detailed Description

This study is design to prospectively investigate the safety and efficacy of Toripalimab combined with Axitinib in downsizing tumors in patients with nonmetastatic biopsy-proven clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Toripalimab is new antibody that may help activate the immune system by blocking the function of an inhibitory molecule, Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1). This is a single-institution, single-arm phase 2 clinical trial. Patients will receive axitinib 5 mg bid combined with Toripalimab 3mg/KG q3w for up to 12 wk. Patients then will receive partial or radical nephrectomy after neoadjuvant therapy.
