Study Summary

This study will compare the efficacy and safety of two doses of belzutifan in participants with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with clear cell component after prior therapy. The primary hypothesis is that the higher dose of belzutifan is superior to the standard dose in terms of objective response rate (ORR).

Primary Outcome

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had a 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 RECIST 1.1. The percentage of participants who experienced a CR or PR as assessed by blinded independent central review based on RECIST 1.1 was presented.
