Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of belzutifan Tablets and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of belzutifan Tablets in patients with advanced solid tumors

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Advanced Solid Tumors Solid Tumor Solid Carcinoma Solid Tumor, Adult ccRCC RCC, Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma RCC Kidney Cancer Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Renal Cell Carcinoma, Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Recurrent Renal Cell Carcinoma, Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma Glioblastoma Glioblastoma, Adult GBM Glioblastoma Multiforme Drug: Belzutifan Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Part 1A: This is a Phase 1, multiple-dose, dose-escalation trial of belzutifan Tablets, where patients with advanced solid tumors 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 belzutifan and to assess biomarkers.

Part 1B: Once the MTD and/or the RP2D is achieved, and expansion cohort of 50 patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) will be enrolled.

Part 2: After determination of the MTD/RP2D, up to 25 patients with other specified solid tumors may be enrolled. Up to 3 different tumor types may be included in this part of the study.

Part 2A: A cohort of 25 patients with glioblastoma (GBM)

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Part 1A

Drug: PART 1A: Belzutifan for the treatment of advanced solid tumors

Belzutifan inhibits HIF-2α and is a novel approach to treatment of solid tumors.

 Drug: Belzutifan
Belzutifan is a highly selective small molecule that inhibits the function of the HIF-2α transcription factor. As a result, hypoxic signaling in cancer cells is impaired, blocking the transcription of several genes involved in oncogenesis
Other Names:
  • PT2977 Tablets, PT-2977, HIF-2α inhibitor, MK-6482
  • WELIREG™
Experimental: Part 1B

Drug: PART 1B: Belzutifan for the treatment of advanced ccRCC

Belzutifan inhibits HIF-2α and is a novel approach to treatment of ccRCC.

 Drug: Belzutifan
Belzutifan is a highly selective small molecule that inhibits the function of the HIF-2α transcription factor. As a result, hypoxic signaling in cancer cells is impaired, blocking the transcription of several genes involved in oncogenesis
Other Names:
  • PT2977 Tablets, PT-2977, HIF-2α inhibitor, MK-6482
  • WELIREG™
Experimental: Part 2

Drug: Part 2: Belzutifan for the treatment of other specified solid tumors

Belzutifan inhibits HIF-2α and is a novel approach to treatment of specified solid tumors.

 Drug: Belzutifan
Belzutifan is a highly selective small molecule that inhibits the function of the HIF-2α transcription factor. As a result, hypoxic signaling in cancer cells is impaired, blocking the transcription of several genes involved in oncogenesis
Other Names:
  • PT2977 Tablets, PT-2977, HIF-2α inhibitor, MK-6482
  • WELIREG™
Experimental: Part 2A

Drug: Part 2A: Belzutifan for the treatment of patients with recurrent GBM who have been previously treated with radiation therapy and temozolomide

Belzutifan inhibits HIF-2α and is a novel approach to treatment of specified solid tumors.

 Drug: Belzutifan
Belzutifan is a highly selective small molecule that inhibits the function of the HIF-2α transcription factor. As a result, hypoxic signaling in cancer cells is impaired, blocking the transcription of several genes involved in oncogenesis
