Fruquintinib Plus Serplulimab as First-Line Therapy for Metastatic Non-Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
China39 participantsStarted 2023-05-01
Plain-language summary
This multicenter, single-arm, phase II study (FRONTIER) evaluates the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib combined with serplulimab as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic or unresectable non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC). Given the biological heterogeneity and lack of established standard therapies in nccRCC, this study aims to characterize clinical outcomes and explore potential predictive biomarkers associated with treatment benefit.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. There is a history of allergy to any component of the drug SLT or the drug Fruquintinib.
. A history of or concurrent malignancy (excluding skin basal cell carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ and papillary carcinoma of thyroid) that has been cured for more than 5 years and has no active cancer）.
. Uncontrolled clinical symptoms or diseases of the heart, including: a) NYHA class II or above heart failure; b) unstable angina; c) myocardial infarction within 1 year; d) significant atrial or ventricular arrhythmias requiring clinical intervention.
. Having received any of the following treatments: a) previous treatment with PD-1, PD-L1 antibodies, or CTLA-4 antibodies; b) received any investigational drugs within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study drug; c) enrolled in another clinical trial, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) study; d) requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids (\>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive drugs within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of the study drug, with the exception of using corticosteroids for local inflammation or prevention of allergies, nausea, and vomiting. Other special circumstances should be communicated with the investigator. In the absence of active autoimmune diseases, inhaled or locally applied steroids and adrenal cortex hormones that replace a dosage of \>10 mg/day prednisone can be used.
. Toxicity from previous anti-cancer therapy has not recovered to ≤ CTCAE grade 1 (excluding alopecia and residual neurotoxicity related to previous platinum therapy) or does not meet inclusion/exclusion criteria.
. Serious infection (CTCAE grade \>2) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study drug, including severe pneumonia, sepsis requiring hospitalization, and infection-related complications; baseline chest imaging shows active pulmonary inflammation, symptoms and signs of infection within 4 weeks of first dose, or the need for oral or intravenous antibiotics.
. Active autoimmune diseases or a history of autoimmune diseases (including but not limited to interstitial pneumonia, colitis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism), except autoimmune-mediated hypothyroidism treated with a stable dose of thyroid replacement hormone and I-type diabetes treated with a stable dose of insulin. Patients with vitiligo or childhood asthma/allergy in remission without any intervention in adulthood are not excluded.
. A history of immunodeficiency diseases, including HIV-positive, other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, organ transplantation, or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
