What this trial studies

This open-label, multi-center Phase Ib/II trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of combining Envafolimab with Lenvatinib in patients with advanced solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The study aims to determine if this combination can achieve a better objective response rate compared to standard of care treatments. Eligible participants must have progressed after standard treatments or have no effective options available. The trial includes both a Phase Ib and a Phase II cohort with specific inclusion criteria for each.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with advanced solid tumors that have progressed after standard treatments or are intolerant to them.

Not a fit: Patients with solid tumors that are not locally advanced or metastatic, or those who have not progressed after standard treatments may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment combination could provide a new effective option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited treatment alternatives.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored similar combinations of immunotherapy and targeted therapy, showing promising results, but this specific combination is relatively novel.
