Ipilimumab N01 Plus Sintilimab and Lenvatinib as First-line Therapy for Locally Advanced or Metastatic TFE3-Rearranged Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Prospective, Multicenter, Single-Arm, Phase II Clinical Trial

Обзор

This phase II, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study evaluates first-line ipilimumab N01 plus sintilimab and lenvatinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (TFE3-rRCC), a rare subtype lacking established first-line systemic therapy. Eligible patients (age ≥14 years, ECOG ≤2, measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, no prior systemic therapy) will receive ipilimumab N01 1 mg/kg Q6W for 4 cycles, sintilimab 200 mg Q3W for up to 35 cycles, and lenvatinib 12 mg or 8 mg QD continuously. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate, duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, safety per NCI CTCAE v5.0, and quality of life. Exploratory biomarker analyses will assess potential predictors of treatment response.

Подробное описание

This prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label, phase II clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of first-line ipilimumab N01 plus sintilimab and lenvatinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (TFE3-rRCC). TFE3-rRCC is a rare, aggressive renal cell carcinoma subtype with no established standard first-line systemic therapy. Preliminary retrospective data suggest that immune checkpoint inhibitor-based combination therapy may improve clinical outcomes in this population.

Eligible patients (age ≥14 years; ECOG performance status ≤2) must have histologically confirmed, locally advanced or metastatic TFE3-rRCC diagnosed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and/or next-generation sequencing, with measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, and no prior systemic therapy (or prior targeted therapy ≤1 month with adequate washout). A total of 66 participants will be enrolled using a Simon two-stage optimal design (21 patients in stage 1; 39 in stage 2).

Participants will receive ipilimumab N01 1 mg/kg intravenously every 6 weeks for the first 4 cycles (induction); sintilimab 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks for up to 35 cycles (approximately 2 years); and lenvatinib 12 mg (body weight ≥60 kg) or 8 mg (body weight \<60 kg) orally once daily continuously until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or loss of clinical benefit.

The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) assessed by investigators according to RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), ORR and DCR per imRECIST, safety profile according to NCI CTCAE v5.0, and quality of life measured by EORTC QLQ-C30, FKSI-DRS, EuroQOL, and VAS. Exploratory analyses will evaluate biomarkers (tumor tissue PD-1, PD-L1, CD4, CD8, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, tumor mutational burden; peripheral blood cytokines, circulating tumor DNA, immune cell subsets by single-cell sequencing) and functional MRI sequences as potential predictors of treatment response.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Ipilimumab Injection
  A human monoclonal antibody targeting CTLA-4.
• Препарат Sintilimab injection
  Recombinant human-derived immunoglobulin G (IgG4)-type anti-programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody, by binding to PD-1 and blocking PD-1 binding to PD-L1 and PD-L2, disarms the immunosuppressive effect, activates T-cell function, and enhances T-cell immunosurveillance and killing ability against tumors to generate tumor immune response.
• Препарат Lenvatinib
  A multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (VEGFR1-3, FGFR1-4, PDGFRα, KIT, RET).
