A Study of Belzutifan (MK-6482) in Combination with Palbociclib Versus Belzutifan Monotherapy in Participants with Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (MK-6482-024/LITESPARK-024)

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05468697 (view full study on clinicaltrials.gov)
Condition:  Renal Cell Carcinoma
Status:  Active, not recruiting


Official Title: A Multicenter, Open-label, Randomized, Phase 1/2 Study of Belzutifan in Combination with Palbociclib Versus Belzutifan Monotherapy in Participants with Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of belzutifan monotherapy and belzutifan plus palbociclib combination therapy in participants with advanced clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who experienced disease progression on or after receiving prior therapy. The study will establish the safety of belzutifan plus palbociclib and determine a recommended dosage of palbociclib for the combination therapy by ascending dose escalation.

  • Has had disease progression on or after having received at least 2 systemic treatments for unresectable Stage IV RCC with prior anti-programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-1/L1) and a vascular endothelial growth factor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (VEGF-TKI) in sequence or in combination
  • Has measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator and verified by blinded independent central review (BICR)
  • Has recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has hypoxia, requires intermittent supplemental oxygen, or requires chronic supplemental oxygen
  • Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years
  • Has known central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis
  • Has clinically significant cardiac disease

  • Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Has a history of hepatitis B (HBV) or known active hepatitis C (HCV) infection
