A Study of Cemiplimab and Fianlimab in People With Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (NCT06699602)

A Pilot Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant Cemiplimab + Fianlimab in Patients With Locally Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Undergoing Nephrectomy

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether it is practical (feasible) to give cemiplimab and fianlimab before a nephrectomy and whether it causes any delays with surgery in people with kidney cancer. The researchers will also look at whether cemiplimab and fianlimab given before a nephrectomy is a safe and effective treatment approach and if there is a change in the size of the tumor following immunotherapy prior to planned surgery.
