About This Trial

This is a single-arm, monocentric, phase II trial, enrolling patients with histological diagnosis of collecting duct carcinoma and renal medullary carcinoma with locally advanced or metastatic disease who will be treated with Pembrolizumab plus Enfortumab Vedotin. Approximately, 23 patients will be enrolled. At screening, pre-existing archival primary and metastatic FFPE tumor specimen will be collected and submitted for central pathology review and translational analysis. All participants will undergo baseline screening imaging for clinical staging. Patients will be treated with Pembrolizumab q21 plus Enfortumab Vedotin 1,8q21 for 3 cycles (3 infusion of Pembrolizumab and 6 infusion of Enfortumab Vedotin) then radiological imaging will be repeated and patients with SD, PR or CR will continue pembrolizumab until disease progression, unacceptable toxicities or completion of treatment (17 cycles). Patients with progressive disease after 3 cycles of study intervention will be treated as per clinical practice. Patients who will experience progressive disease during pembrolizumab monotherapy treatment could restart Enfortumab Vedotin. The study will also involve collection of a blood sample taken at the commencement of treatment, at the first cycle, after cycle 3 and at the end of treatment or progression of disease, to be used for research purposes.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Bellini Carcinoma and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 23 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Male/female participants who are at least 18 years of age on the day of signing willing to sign a consent form with diagnosed by tissue sample (biopsy-confirmed) diagnosis of metastatic or advanced Collecting Duct Carcinoma or Medullary Renal Cell Carcinoma will be enrolled in this study. - The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written willing to sign a consent form for the trial. - Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.

Evaluation of ECOG is to be performed within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention. - Have your organs (liver, kidneys, etc.) are working well enough based on blood tests as defined in the following table (Table 4). Specimens must be collected within 10 days prior to the start of study intervention. - Participants who are HBsAg positive are eligible if they have received HBV anti-viral therapy for at least 4 weeks, and have undetectable HBV viral load prior to randomization.
