AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults with clear cell kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread, and that grew after earlier immunotherapy.

Age
18 to 75 years
Sex
Everyone can join, men and women.
Disease stage
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma, unresectable or advanced, with at least one lesion that can be measured on scans (RECIST 1.1).
Earlier treatment
Must have had 1-2 systemic treatments that included immunotherapy, with disease progression or intolerance. Must not have had anti-BTLA or anti-HVEM antibody treatment.
Biomarker or test result
Tumor tissue must be provided (stored sample or new biopsy) for testing of PD-L1, CD8, MSI, TMB and several gene mutations.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Cancer in the brain or its linings (central nervous system metastasis or malignant meningitis), unless treated and stable
  • Active autoimmune disease
  • HIV-positive, other immune deficiency, or organ or stem-cell transplant
