Addition of X4P-001 to Nivolumab Treatment in Participants With Renal Cell Carcinoma

A Phase 1B/2A Trial Adding X4P-001 in Patients Receiving Nivolumab for Treatment of Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of X4P-001 plus nivolumab is safe and tolerable. Secondly, the study will investigate if adding X4P-001 to nivolumab treatment has an effect on the body and the cancer tumor, in participants receiving nivolumab but not exhibiting a radiological response.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)	An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Drug-related TEAEs: TEAEs with possible, probable, definite, or missing relationship to study medication (X4P-001 or Nivolumab). Serious AEs: death, a life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that jeopardized participant and required medical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed in this definition. TEAEs were defined as events occurring on or after the first dose of study drug through 30 days after the last dose. Any TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality, is located in Reported AE section.	From administration of first dose of study medication (Day 1) up to 30 days after last dose (up to 16 months)
