This phase II, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study evaluates first-line ipilimumab N01 plus sintilimab and lenvatinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (TFE3-rRCC), a rare subtype lacking established first-line systemic therapy. Eligible patients (age ≥14 years, ECOG ≤2, measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, no prior systemic therapy) will receive ipilimumab N01 1 mg/kg Q6W for 4 cycles, sintilimab 200 mg Q3W for up to 35 cycles, and lenvatinib 12 mg or 8 mg QD continuously. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate, duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, safety per NCI CTCAE v5.0, and quality of life. Exploratory biomarker analyses will assess potential predictors of treatment response.
This prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label, phase II clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of first-line ipilimumab N01 plus sintilimab and lenvatinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (TFE3-rRCC). TFE3-rRCC is a rare, aggressive renal cell carcinoma subtype with no established standard first-line systemic therapy. Preliminary retrospective data suggest that immune checkpoint inhibitor-based combination therapy may improve clinical outcomes in this population. Eligible patients (age ≥14 years; ECOG performance status ≤2) must have histologically confirmed, locally advanced or metastatic TFE3-rRCC diagnosed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and/or next-generation sequencing, with measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, and no prior systemic therapy (or prior targeted therapy ≤1 month with adequate washout). A total of 66 participants will be enrolled using a Simon two-stage optimal design (21 patients in stage 1; 39 in stage 2). Participants will receive ipilimumab N01 1 mg/kg intravenously every 6 weeks for the first 4 cycles (induction); sintilimab 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks for up to 35 cycles (approximately 2 years); and lenvatinib 12 mg (body weight ≥60 kg) or 8 mg (body weight \<60 kg) orally once daily continuously until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or loss of clinical benefit. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) assessed by investigators according to RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), ORR and DCR per imRECIST, safety profile according to NCI CTCAE v5.0, and quality of life measured by EORTC QLQ-C30, FKSI-DRS, EuroQOL, and VAS. Exploratory analyses will evaluate biomarkers (tumor tissue PD-1, PD-L1, CD4, CD8, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, tumor mutational burden; peripheral blood cytokines, circulating tumor DNA, immune cell subsets by single-cell sequencing) and functional MRI sequences as potential predictors of treatment response.

A human monoclonal antibody targeting CTLA-4.
Recombinant human-derived immunoglobulin G (IgG4)-type anti-programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody, by binding to PD-1 and blocking PD-1 binding to PD-L1 and PD-L2, disarms the immunosuppressive effect, activates T-cell function, and enhances T-cell immunosurveillance and killing ability against tumors to generate tumor immune response.
A multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (VEGFR1-3, FGFR1-4, PDGFRα, KIT, RET).

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Objective response rate is the proportion of participates with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), based on RECIST1.1.
Time frame: 3 years
Adverse Events (AEs)
Adverse events are the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0, including type and severity.
Time frame: 3 years
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival is the time from starting treatment to still being alive.
Time frame: 3 years
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival is assessed by investigators based on RECIST1.1, including disease progression or death from any cause.
Time frame: 3 years
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Disease control rate is the proportion of participates with complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD), based on RECIST1.1.
Time frame: 3 years
Duration of Response (DoR)
Duration of response is the time from first response (complete or partial response) to disease progression or death.
Time frame: 3 years
Cancer-Specific Survival (CSS)
The period from the time the patient was diagnosed with the tumor or began treatment until death directly caused by the tumor
Time frame: 3 years
