Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with advanced, non-curable clear cell RCC, no prior systemic therapy for advanced disease, good performance status, measurable disease, and adequate organ function.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with advanced RCC who do not meet the organ-function criteria, have poor performance status, or lack measurable disease may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label Phase 2 study. Adults with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma and certain health criteria are assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either IBR854 plus pazopanib or pazopanib alone. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival by RECIST 1.1, with safety and efficacy data collected throughout participation. Treatment continues until predefined criteria for discontinuation are met. The study aims to see if the combination can improve outcomes beyond pazopanib alone.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could extend time before disease worsens and offer a more effective treatment option for advanced RCC.
How similar studies have gone: Previous similar approaches in other cancers have shown the value of combining targeted therapies, but this exact combination in RCC is being explored in this trial.

8. Voluntarily sign the informed consent form, understand the study and be willing to follow the protocol and complete all experimental procedures.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Documented central nervous system metastases.
2. Received prior antineoplastic therapy (including chemotherapy, biologic therapy, immunotherapy, or Chinese traditional medicines with antitumor indications) before the first dose of study treatment.
3. Has received major surgery (grade 3 or 4 as defined in the Measures for the Administration of Clinical Application of Medical Technology) within 28 days before the first dose of study treatment and has not yet recovered from which; or any planned curative surgery for renal cell carcinoma during the study.
4. History of another malignancy within 5 years before the first dose of study treatment, except for Lung carcinoma in situ, low-risk early-stage prostate cancer, or cured basal-cell carcinoma, squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical carcinoma in situ, or papillary thyroid carcinoma.
5. Clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities such as malabsorption syndrome, major gastric or small-bowel resection that may affect drug absorption, active peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, or other conditions increasing the risk of perforation; or history of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 28 days before the first dose of study treatment.
6. Systemic corticosteroids (\>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive agents required within 2 weeks before the first dose or anticipated during study treatment, except for:
1. Topical, intranasal, or inhaled corticosteroids.
2. Corticosteroids as premedication for infusion-related or hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., premedication for CT imaging).
3. Replacement therapy such as levothyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency.
4. Low-dose corticosteroids for orthostatic hypotension.
7. Clinically significant cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease documented by any of the following:
1. Ischemic stroke (excluding silent lacunar infarction) or severe thromboembolic event within 6 months before the first dose of study treatment.

11. Any severe, progressive, or uncontrolled medical condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the subject unsuitable for the study, including but not limited to:
1. Infection requiring systemic therapy.
2. Symptomatic pleural, pericardial, or ascitic fluid requiring or having undergone drainage within 2 weeks before the first dose (minimal asymptomatic effusion, third-spacing due to hypoalbuminaemia, or cases where benefit outweighs risk may be allowed).
3. History of coagulopathy (e.g., deep-vein thrombosis) or severe bleeding diathesis; clinically significant bleeding event (e.g., gastrointestinal bleeding) within 1 month before the first dose.
4. History of severe psychiatric disorder.
5. Any other condition that, in the investigator's opinion, renders study participation riskier than beneficial.
12. Prior grade 3-4 immune-related adverse events that, in the investigator's judgment, should be excluded.
13. Severe allergic or hypersensitivity disorders, significant drug allergies (including to investigational agents), or known hypersensitivity to any component of the study drug, including severe reactions to monoclonal antibodies.
14. Participation in another clinical trial and receipt of an investigational agent within 28 days before the first dose of study treatment.
