This is a single-institution, phase 2 trial of zanzalintinib plus investigator-choice bone-strengthening agent in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with bone metastases whose disease has advanced on 1-3 prior lines of therapy, including at least one immune oncology-based (IO) therapy in the adjuvant or first-line metastatic setting.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) at 12 months in participants with RECIST-measurable metastatic RCC and bone metastases at baseline, and who have been previously treated with contemporary IO-based therapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the rate of skeletal-related events (SRE).
II. To determine the rate of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ).
III. To determine the rate of systemic toxicity.
IV. To determine median overall PFS.
- To determine median overall survival (OS) in participants.
VI. To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) in participants with measurable disease at baseline according to RECIST v 1.1.
VII. To evaluate PFS at 24 months in patients with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)-measurable disease (metastatic RCC and bone metastases) at baseline.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the impact of treatment on osseous microenvironment including immune and metabolic microenvironment using Flow cytometry, bulk Ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq), Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), spatial genomic and/or proteomic profiling.
II. Describe changes in quality of life (HRQoL) using European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of participants who have not progressed at 12 months (PFS12)
The proportion of participants who have not demonstrated radiographic progression as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 or demonstrated clinical progression-free survival (PFS) at 12 months after the start of study treatment. Twelve-month landmark PFS rate will be obtained with 95% confidence interval using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Measured: Up to 12 months
Secondary outcomes (7)
Percentage of participants with Skeletal Related Events (SRE)
The percentage of participants who demonstrate an SREs defined as: 1) pathological fracture; 2) surgery or radiation to the bone; or 3) cord compression, by bone scan will be reported
Measured: Up to 24 months
Percentage of participants with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ)
The percentage of participants who demonstrate ONJ, by clinical exam will be reported.
Measured: Up to 24 months
Percentage of participants with reported treatment-related, systemic, adverse events
The percentage of participants with treatment-related, systemic toxicity of any grade as classified by NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 will be reported.
Measured: Up to 24 months
Median PFS
PFS is defined as the time from day of study treatment initiation (C1D1) until evidence of disease progression per RECIST v1.1 criteria, in patients with measurable disease at baseline, or death from any cause. Participants will be censored for PFS at the start of any subsequent therapy or at last negative scan if there is no evidence of disease progression. The median PFS in months will be reported with a 95% confidence interval.
Measured: Up to 24 months
Median Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS) will be defined starting from study treatment initiation (C1D1) until death from any cause or last follow-up. OS will be assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method and median OS in months will be reported with a 95% confidence interval.
Measured: Up to 24 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Objective response rate will be assessed in the measurable disease population only and is defined as the proportion of participants with either a demonstrated radiographic complete response ((CR); Disappearance of all target lesions and no new lesions)) or partial response ((PR); At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions)) according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. The proportion of all participants with 95% confidence interval will be reported.
Measured: Up to 24 months
Proportion of participants who have not progressed at 24 months (PFS24)
The proportion of participants who have not demonstrated radiographic progression as defined by RECIST v1.1 or demonstrated clinical PFS at 24 months after the start of study treatment will be reported.
Measured: Up to 24 months

Primary outcome
Proportion of participants who have not progressed at 12 months (PFS12)
Time frame: Up to 12 months
The proportion of participants who have not demonstrated radiographic progression as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 or demonstrated clinical progression-free survival (PFS) at 12 months after the start of study treatment. Twelve-month landmark PFS rate will be obtained with 95% confidence interval using the Kaplan-Meier method.
7 secondary outcomes
Percentage of participants with Skeletal Related Events (SRE)
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Percentage of participants with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ)
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Percentage of participants with reported treatment-related, systemic, adverse events
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Median PFS
Time frame: Up to 24 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Zanzalintinib, Investigator Choice of Bone Strengthening Agents (BSA) and Non-Investigational Radiation Therapy (RT) in people with Clear Cell Renal Cell Cancer (ccRCC) and Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma, run by Kelly Fitzgerald, MD at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 31 inclusion and 53 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact UCSF Genitourinary Oncology Clinical Trials Recruitment (877-827-3222, GUTrials@ucsf.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Proportion of participants who have not progressed at 12 months (PFS12) (time frame: Up to 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jul 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
