Summary

This phase 2 study is testing whether a combination of three drugs—sasanlimab, palbociclib, and axitinib—can shrink tumors or slow the growth of advanced kidney cancer. The trial will enroll 25 adults with clear cell or translocation renal cell carcinoma that has spread. Researchers will measure how many participants respond to treatment and track any serious side effects.

What this could lead to
