New drug duo takes on Hard-to-Treat kidney cancer

NCT ID NCT06234605

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing a new oral drug called HC-7366 combined with the approved drug belzutifan in about 80 adults with advanced kidney cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The main goal is to find the safest dose and check for any serious side effects. Researchers will also watch for signs that the combination can shrink or control the cancer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

HC-7366 (a drug that activates a protein called GCN2) combined with belzutifan (a drug that blocks HIF-2α)

What this could lead to

If this combination proves safe and effective, it could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced kidney cancer that has not responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1b trial with only 80 participants, so the main goal is safety and dosing—not proof of effectiveness. The combination may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
