Brief Summary:
This study is designed to investigate belzutifan as a treatment for VHL disease associated RCC.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
VHL - Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome VHL Gene Mutation VHL Syndrome VHL Gene Inactivation VHL-Associated Renal Cell Carcinoma VHL-Associated Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Drug: Belzutifan Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This open-label Phase 2 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of belzutifan in participants with VHL disease who have at least 1 measurable RCC tumor. Belzutifan will be administered orally and treatment will be continuous. Participants will be evaluated radiologically approximately 12 weeks after initiation of treatment and every 12 weeks thereafter while continuing in the study for a minimum of 3 years and then every 24 weeks or more frequently if clinically indicated. Changes in VHL disease-associated non-RCC tumors will also be evaluated.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) in VHL Disease-Associated RCC Tumors [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who have a best confirmed response of Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). ORR will be assessed by independent review committee (ICR) for the primary analysis.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Duration of Response (DOR) in VHL Disease-Associated RCC Tumors [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    DOR is defined as the interval from the first documented evidence of a CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or a PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 until Progressive Disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, in participants demonstrating a best confirmed response of CR or PR. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD.

  2. Time to Response (TTR) in VHL Disease-Associated RCC Tumors [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    TTR is defined as the interval from the start of study treatment to the first documentation of a response per RECIST 1.1, and calculated for participants with a best confirmed response of CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions).

  3. Progression-free Survival (PFS) in VHL Disease-Associated RCC Tumors [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    PFS is defined as the interval from the start of study treatment to the first documented PD or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD.

  4. Time to Surgery (TTS) in VHL Disease-Associated RCC Tumors [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    TTS was defined as the interval from the start of study treatment to the date of surgery.

  5. ORR in VHL Disease-Associated Non-RCC Tumors [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who have a best confirmed response of CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1.

  6. DOR in VHL Disease-Associated Non-RCC Tumors [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    DOR is defined as the interval from the first documented evidence of a CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or a PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 until PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, in participants demonstrating a best confirmed response of CR or PR. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD.

  7. TTR in VHL Disease-Associated Non-RCC Tumors [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    TTR is defined as the interval from the start of study treatment to the first documentation of a response per RECIST 1.1, and calculated for participants with a best confirmed response of CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions).

  8. PFS in VHL Disease-Associated Non-RCC Tumors [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    PFS is defined as the interval from the start of study treatment to the first documented PD or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD.

  9. TTS in VHL Disease-Associated Non-RCC Tumors [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    TTS was defined as the interval from the start of study treatment to the date of surgery.

  10. Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant regardless of its causal relationship to study treatment. An AE can be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including any clinically significant abnormal laboratory test result), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not it is considered to be study drug related.

  11. Number of Participants Experiencing a Serious Adverse Event (SAE) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 4 years ]
    An SAE is any AE occurring at any dose and regardless of causality that meets any of the following criteria: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect in an offspring of a participant taking study drug, or is an important medical event.

  12. Belzutifan Plasma Concentration [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 and 3: pre-dose, 2 and 5 hours post-dose, Week 5, 9, and 13: post-dose. ]
    Blood samples for the determination of belzutifan concentration will be collected at pre-specified timepoints before and after treatment administration.

  13. Belzutifan Metabolite Plasma Concentration [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 and 3: pre-dose, 2 and 5 hours post-dose, Week 5, 9, and 13: post-dose. ]
    Blood samples for the determination of belzutifan metabolite concentration will be collected at pre-specified timepoints before and after treatment administration.
