PART 1: This is a Phase 1, multiple-dose, dose-escalation trial of MK-3795, where patients with advanced ccRCC will be assigned to sequential dose cohorts. Patient safety will be monitored with frequent physical examinations, vital sign measurements, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and hematology and chemistry laboratory studies, and by recording all adverse events (AEs). Blood will be obtained for analysis of the concentration of MK-3795 and to assess biomarkers.~PART 2: This is a Phase 1 trial of MK-3795 in combination with nivolumab, where patients with advanced ccRCC will be assigned to dose cohorts. Patient safety will be monitored with frequent physical examinations, vital sign measurements, ECGs, and hematology and chemistry laboratory studies, and by recording all AEs. Blood will be obtained for analysis of the concentration of MK-3795 and to assess biomarkers.~PART 3: This is a Phase 1 trial of MK-3795 in combination with cabozantinib tablets, where patients with advanced ccRCC will be assigned to dose cohorts. Patient safety will be monitored with frequent physical examinations, vital sign measurements, ECGs, and hematology and chemistry laboratory studies, and by recording all AEs. Blood will be obtained for analysis of the concentration of MK-3795 and cabozantinb and to assess biomarkers.
PART 1: The primary objective of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MK-3795, formerly called PT2385 and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of MK-3795 in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).~PART 2: The primary objective of this study is to identify the MTD of MK-3795 up to the RP2D, in combination with nivolumab, in patients with advanced ccRCC.~PART 3: The primary objective of this study is to identify the MTD of MK-3795 up to the RP2D, in combination with cabozantinib tablets, in patients with advanced ccRCC.
