Vorolanib Monotherapy or in Combination With Toripalimab as Adjuvant Therapy for Patients With Intermediate-high Risk of Recurrence in Renal Cell Carcinoma

The Efficacy and Safety of Vorolanib Monotherapy or in Combination With Toripalimab for Postoperative Adjuvant Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients With Intermediate-high Risk Recurrence Factors: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-arm, Phase II Exploratory Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Jul 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

While the 5-year survival rate for localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) approaches 80%-95%, patients with high-risk non-metastatic disease face a substantial 30%-40% risk of recurrence/metastasis within 5 years. Emerging evidence demonstrates that combining anti-angiogenic agents with immune checkpoint inhibitors significantly extends progression-free survival (PFS) in first-line advanced/metastatic RCC settings. To address the unmet need for adjuvant strategies in intermediate/high-risk localized RCC, we propose a synergistic approach leveraging targeted therapy and immunotherapy. This dual-modality regimen may delay resistance mechanisms while enhancing disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Vorolanib, a next-generation vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), exhibits unique pharmacodynamic properties that warrant investigation in adjuvant paradigms. This study evaluates two experimental arms: (1) Vorolanib combined with toripalimab, a PD-1 inhibitor. (2) Vorolanib monotherapy. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vorolanib combined with toripalimab or vorolanib monotherapy in postoperative adjuvant therapy for intermediate/high-risk non-metastatic locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), while also investigating the correlation between postoperative minimal residual disease (MRD)-positive status and recurrence risk.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Prior exposure to any anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, or anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, or other agents specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation checkpoints, or small molecule anti-angiogenic drugs.
  • Subjects who underwent major surgery or chemotherapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose administration, or those with postoperative duration \>12 weeks who received major surgery/chemotherapy within 4 weeks before first dosing.
  • Severe infections requiring IV antibiotics/antifungals/antivirals within 4 weeks prior to first dose, or unexplained fever \>38.5°C during screening.
  • Systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants within 14 days before first study drug administration.
  • Concurrent use of experimental agents or standard antineoplastic therapies.

Other illness

  • Subjects with hypersensitivity to study drugs.
  • Active hemorrhage, ulceration, intestinal perforation, bowel obstruction, or uncontrolled hypertension (defined as BP \>140/90 mmHg or unstable during screening).
  • Uncontrolled adrenal insufficiency.
  • Active autoimmune diseases (including but not limited to autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial lung disease, uveitis, colitis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism) or history of autoimmune diseases. Exceptions: Vitiligo or childhood asthma fully resolved without intervention in adulthood.
  • History of other malignancies within 5 years.
  • Documented active tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis).
  • Active infections.

    • HBV: HBsAg+ with HBV DNA ≥2000 IU/mL (≥10⁴ copies/mL) HCV: Anti-HCV+ with viral load \>ULN

Other

  • Patients with advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) or non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC).
  • Symptomatic visceral metastases with imminent life-threatening complications (e.g., uncontrolled exudation \[pleural/pericardial/abdominal\], lymphangitic carcinomatosis, or \>30% liver involvement).
  • Pregnant/lactating women.
