PET/CT-Directed Free of Therapy for Metastatic RCC Patients With IMDC Favorable or Intermediate Risk

💬

In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This phase 2 trial aims to test the feasibility and efficiency of PET/CT-directed treatment interruption strategy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients with IMDC favorable/intermediate risk who achieve complete (CMR) or partial metabolic response (PMR) after ≥12 months of first-line PD-1/PD-L1 Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)+ VEGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. It helps figure out whether PET/CT can safely direct treatment pause as well as explores a new individualized treatment option based on metabolic imaging for RCC patients.
