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.
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.

Drug MK-3795

Oral administration

  • Other names: PT2385, PT-2385, HIF-2a, MK-3795

Drug Nivolumab

IV infusion

  • Other names: Opdivo

Drug Cabozantinib

Oral administration

  • Other names: Cabometyx

Part 1: MK-3475 Experimental

Participants with advanced ccRCC receive MK-3475 at an initial dose level of 100mg orally, twice daily (BID) up to approximately 3 weeks. Dose levels will be escalated to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) for MK-3475. Each escalated dose will be continued for up to approximately 3 weeks before escalating a dose again until a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is experienced. Thereafter, participants receive RP2D dose of MK-3795 for up to 2 cycles (each cycle length = 28 days) for up to approximately 1 year. Participants may continue to receive MK-3795 beyond 1 year at the discretion of the Sponsor.

Part 2: MK-3795 + Nivolumab Experimental

Participants with advanced ccRCC in the expansion phase receive the RP2D of MK-3795 orally in combination with nivolumab 240mg by IV infusion over ~60 minutes every 2 weeks for up to approximately 1 year (12 cycles; each cycle length = 28 days) or until unequivocal progression or treatment discontinuation, whichever occurs later.

Part 3: MK-3795 + Cabozantinib Experimental

Participants with advanced ccRCC in the expansion phase receive the RP2D of MK-3795 in combination with cabozantinib 20mg up to 60mg orally QD for up to approximately 1 year (12 cycles; each cycle length = 28 days) or until unequivocal progression or treatment discontinuation, whichever occurs later.
