In a presentation at the 2023 International Kidney Cancer Symposium, Jaleh Fallah, MD, discussed the regulatory agency’s evaluation of data from the phase 2 LITESPARK-004 trial, which led to the approval of belzutifan.

Patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma treated with zanzalintinib had experienced promising antitumor activity with manageable toxicity regardless of prior treatment with cabozantinib.

An expert discussed how recent studies in patients with translocation RCC, a rare type of RCC, have demonstrated that the disease responds well to immune checkpoint inhibitors, but more focus is needed on novel targets to treat it.

AU-007 demonstrated promising early efficacy and safety data when given alone or in combination with aldesleukin across multiple solid tumor types.
