Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of 177Lu-girentuximab and nivolumab is a safe and effective treatment for advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma/ccRCC that has the CAIX protein.

| Experimental: Safety lead-in Phase: Participants with Advanced or Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma/RCC Participants have Advanced or Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma/RCC. The protocol will start with a safety-lead in phase using a 3+3 design to establish the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of 177Lu-labeled-girentuximab in combination with standard-dose nivolumab. The initial starting dose of 177Lu-labeled-girentuximab is 1804 MBq/m2 which is 75% of the single agent dose established in prior studies and will proceed as shown in the schema below. Once the MTD is established, a Simon two-stage optimal design will commence. 10 patients will be enrolled in the first stage and if no responses are observed, the study will be terminated. If 1 or more responses are observed in the first 10 patients, we will extend enrollment to a total of 29 patients (19 additional patients) in the second stage. |
Drug: 177Lu-labeled-girentuximab
The initial starting dose/Dose Level 1 of 177Lu-labeled-girentuximab is 1804 MBq/m2. if 0/3 or 1/6 DLTs, participants will be treated at Dose Level 2 177Lu-girentuximab 2405 MBq/m2. >/= 2/6 DLTs, Dose Level -1 is 177Lu-girentuximab 1353 MBq/m2
Once the MTD is established, a Simon two-stage optimal design will commence.
Drug: Nivolumab
Nivolumab 240mg q2wk
Diagnostic Test: 89Zr-girentuximab PET/CT
All patients will undergo a 89Zr-girentuximab PET/CT scan prior to every 177Lu-girentuximab administration
Diagnostic Test: 177Lu whole body (WB) planar and SPECT/CT scans
177Lu whole body (WB) planar and SPECT/CT scans will be performed after each administration of 177Lu-girentuximab

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of 177Lu-girentuximab [24 (+/- 2) weeks]
To determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of 177Lu-girentuximab when given in combination with nivolumab (safety lead-in)
- Overall Response Rate/ORR [24 (+/- 2) weeks]
efficacy of the combination at the MTD of 177Lu-labelled girentuximab in patients with advanced ccRCC as assessed by best ORR by 24 (+/- 2) weeks by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1).
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
