What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating new treatments for advanced renal cell carcinoma RCC, a type of kidney cancer. This study compares the effects of combining two targeted therapies, belzutifan and zanzalintinib, against belzutifan with a placebo. The goal is to see if the combination can help people live longer and prevent the cancer from getting worse after other treatments have failed. Participants will take 120 mg of belzutifan orally and either 60 mg of zanzalintinib or a matching placebo once daily for about 24 months. The study is randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active combination or placebo. Two groups are compared belzutifan plus zanzalintinib and belzutifan plus placebo. During the study, participants will be monitored for progression-free survival and overall survival, with assessments up to around 30 to 50 months. Researchers will also evaluate tumor response, duration of response, quality of life, and side effects. Safety and tolerability will be tracked throughout treatment and follow-up periods. The study is sponsored by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC and aims to provide important information on treating advanced RCC.
