Study Summary

This was a first in human study of DFF332, a small molecule that targets a protein called HIF2α. By acting on HIF2α, DFF332 may be able to stop the growth of certain types of cancer. DFF332 was planned to be tested at different doses as single agent and in combination with Everolimus (RAD001, an mTOR inhibitor), and also in combination with Spartalizumab (PDR001, an anti-PD1) plus Taminadenant (NIR178, an adenosine A2A receptor antagonist), in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma and other malignancies with HIF stabilizing mutations.

Primary Outcome

Number of participants with AEs/SAEs to characterize the safety and tolerability of DFF332 as a single agent, in combination with Everolimus (RAD001), and in combination with Spartalizumab (PDR001) plus Taminadenant (NIR178) in patients with advanced clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) and advanced malignancies with Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) stabilizing mutations
