About this study

"This study is a phase 2, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SLC-3010 in combination with axitinib versus axitinib monotherapy as second-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

This study includes a screening period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period. All patients will complete a screening period of up to 28 days. During the treatment period, patients will receive either SLC-3010 in combination with axitinib or axitinib monotherapy. Treatment may continue until the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity related to the study intervention, patient refusal for further participation, or disease progression.

Read more

The patients will be followed up for disease progression and survival for up to 2 years after discontinuation of the study intervention, or until death, consent withdrawal, or the end of this clinical trial, whichever occurs first. For patients who withdraw consent, survival will be followed up via telephone or site visits every 2 months up to death or 12 months after the first administration of the last patient, whichever occurs first, depending on their consent for follow-up.

This study consists of two parts: Part 1 is the safety run-in phase for SLC-3010 in combination with axitinib, and Part 2 is a randomized phase 2 trial to compare SLC-3010 in combination with axitinib and axitinib monotherapy.

Read the detailed description

"Part 1 (Safety Run-in): The safety run-in phase consists of a single-arm cohort of SLC-3010 in combination with axitinib and will be conducted to determine the optimal dose of the SLC-3010 combination regimen before proceeding to phase 2. At each dose level of SLC-3010, 6 patients will be enrolled and the safety and tolerability will be assessed based on defined DLT criteria. The dose will be escalated or de-escalated stepwise based on the dose level identified from the SLC-3010-001 monotherapy dose-escalation cohort.

In the safety run-in phase, the first patient enrolled at each dose level will be observed for safety for 48 hours (monitoring period) after administration. If the patient tolerates the treatment appropriately during this period, 5 additional patients may be enrolled.

The starting dose in the safety run-in will be one dose level below the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SLC-3010 monotherapy verified in the SLC-3010-001 study(0.15mg/kg).

The DLT observation period will be 21 days. If 1 or none of the 6 patients at the starting dose level experiences a DLT, the dose will be escalated to the next higher level. If DLTs are observed in 1 or fewer patients at the higher dose level, the dose will be escalated to the next level. If 2 out of the 6 patients at the starting dose level experience a DLT, the dose will be de-escalated to the next lower level. Upon completion of the safety run-in, the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will determine the MTD of SLC-3010 in combination with axitinib. This determination will consider safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) data.

Part 2 (Phase 2):

In Part 2, the anti-tumor activity and safety of SLC-3010 in combination with axitinib will be evaluated. Patients in Part 2 will receive treatment at the MTD identified during the safety run-in. A total of 60 patients (30 patients per group) will be enrolled and randomized after stratification based on prior treatment history with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) including immune-oncology (IO) therapy including immune-oncology (IO) therapy (i.e., IO + IO versus IO + TKI).

SLC-3010 will be administered via intravenous (IV) infusion at the defined dose on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, and the infusion rate will be 100 mL/hour throughout each cycle. If the patient tolerates the first cycle, SLC-3010 may be administered over 30 minutes in subsequent cycles (100 mL/30 min).

Axitinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It will be administered orally at 5 mg twice daily regardless of the timing of SLC-3010 administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SLC-3010 + Axitinib and Axitinib in people with Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma and Neoplasms, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 26 inclusion and 38 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Response Rate, ORR (PART2) (time frame: after 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Mar 2026.
