Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Immunotherapy With Axitinib in Advanced Collecting Duct Carcinoma

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new treatment for advanced collecting duct carcinoma, which is a rare type of kidney cancer. Researchers want to see if a combination of immunotherapy and a drug called axitinib can help patients whose cancer has not responded to previous treatments. The trial is currently recruiting participants aged 18 to 80 who have already received treatment for their cancer and have measurable disease, meaning the cancer can be tracked with tests.

If you or a family member are considering joining this trial, you’ll need to be in good overall health and able to understand and provide consent for participation. Participants can expect to receive the study treatment along with regular check-ups to monitor their health and how well the treatment is working. It's important to note that certain health conditions or recent treatments may make someone ineligible, so discussing these details with a healthcare provider is essential. Participation in clinical trials can be a way to access new therapies while helping advance medical research.

Female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects whose partners are of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective methods of contraceptive throughout the study and for 180 days after the last dose of study therapy.
• Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion criteria: Patients with any of the following conditions will not be included in the study:
• • 1. Prior Anti-PD-1, PD-L1 or axitinib.
• • 2. Has participated or is currently participating in a trial of investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment, unless observational (non-interventional) clinical study or follow-up period of interventional study.
• • 3. Had major surgery (judged by investigators) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment or has not recovered from prior surgery.
• • 4. Has traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine preparation with anti-cancer indication within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.
• • 5. Requiring corticosteroids (Prednisone \>10 mg/day or equivalent analogue) or other immunosuppressive agents within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment. 6. Patients without active autoimmune disease using inhaled prednisone \>10 mg/day will not be excluded from the study.
• • 7. Has a history of organ transplantation or required long-term treatment with corticosteroids.

Under rational expectation, irreversible toxicities (e.g., hearing loss) which will not be worsened by study treatments may be enrolled in the study.
