Toripalimab and Lenvatinib With or Without SBRT Before Surgery for Non-Clear Cell Kidney Cancer
A Single-Center, Two-Cohort Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant Toripalimab and Lenvatinib With or Without Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Nonmetastatic Locally Advanced Non-Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 Nov 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This single-center, nonrandomized, two-cohort Phase II study will evaluate neoadjuvant toripalimab and lenvatinib with or without stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with resectable, nonmetastatic locally advanced non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Approximately 36 participants will be enrolled. Both cohorts will receive six 21-day cycles of toripalimab and lenvatinib; one cohort will also receive SBRT to the primary renal tumor. Surgery is planned after neoadjuvant treatment. The primary outcome is the percentage of necrotic tumor cells in the resected tumor specimen.

AI-kivonat: who the study is looking for
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 non-clear cell kidney cancer that has not spread and can be removed by surgery. They get drug treatment, with or without focused radiation, before surgery.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- All sexes
- Disease stage
- Non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma that is locally advanced, has not spread to distant organs and can be removed by surgery. Chromophobe and collecting duct types are excluded. At least one measurable tumor is needed.
- Earlier treatment
- No earlier lenvatinib or other drug that blocks blood vessel growth. No earlier PD-1/PD-L1 treatment for metastatic disease. No other cancer antibody or trial drug within 4 weeks before joining.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Cancer that has spread to distant organs, or cannot be operated on
- Chromophobe or collecting duct kidney cancer
- Active or past autoimmune disease, or weak immune system
- Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Anticancer monoclonal antibody or another investigational drug within 4 weeks before enrollment; prior PD-1/PD-L1-directed treatment for metastatic disease; or prior lenvatinib or another antiangiogenic drug.
- Distant organ metastasis or inability to undergo surgery.
- Systemic immunosuppressive treatment, including prednisone >10 mg/day or equivalent, within 2 weeks before enrollment.
- Poorly controlled cardiac disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or clinically significant cardiovascular events within 6 months before enrollment.
- Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or radiotherapy within 2 weeks before enrollment.
- Gastrointestinal perforation or major surgery within 4 weeks before enrollment.
- Arterial or venous thromboembolic event within 6 months before enrollment, except resolved catheter-associated thrombosis as judged by the investigator.
- Active bleeding or a significant bleeding tendency, including clinically significant hemoptysis of more than 50 mL/day within 3 months before enrollment.
- Live attenuated vaccine within 28 days before first treatment or planned live attenuated vaccination during the study.
- Severe infection within 4 weeks before first treatment; CTCAE grade ≥2 active infection requiring systemic antibiotics within 2 weeks before first treatment; unexplained fever >38.5°C during screening or before first treatment unless attributed to the tumor by the investigator; or evidence of active tuberculosis within the preceding year.
- Prior or planned allogeneic bone marrow or solid-organ transplantation.
Other illness
- Known hypersensitivity to toripalimab, lenvatinib, or their excipients.
- Active autoimmune disease, a history of autoimmune disease, or congenital or acquired immunodeficiency.

- Active hepatitis B (HBV DNA ≥500 IU/mL), active hepatitis C (HCV RNA above the assay detection limit), or hepatitis B and C coinfection.
- Peripheral neuropathy of grade ≥2, active brain metastases, leptomeningeal disease, or spinal cord compression.
- Inability to swallow oral medication, chronic diarrhea, clinically significant intestinal obstruction, or another condition substantially affecting oral-drug absorption.
Lab values
- Corrected QT interval >470 ms, subject to the protocol-specified review for pacemaker-related QT prolongation.
- Any other serious physical or psychiatric illness or laboratory abnormality that may increase study risk, interfere with results, or make participation inappropriate in the investigator's judgment.
