This trial will test a new combination therapy for advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC).
It is the first of its kind to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a unique combination therapy for advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC)1
This trial aims to enroll over 300 patients across nearly 200 clinical sites to compare the effects of the most recently approved tivozanib, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), in combination with nivolumab, an immunotherapy, versus tivozanib alone.1,2
The TiNivo-2 trial is open and actively recruiting patients
If you are a patient with aRCC, you may be eligible for the TiNivo-2 trial. This clinical study aims to find out if two medicines approved for aRCC, tivozanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), and nivolumab, an immunotherapy, might be more beneficial than tivozanib alone. The trial will also make sure that both medicines taken together continue to be safe (based on the TiNivo trial safety data).
The TiNivo-2 trial will test if taking tivozanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), and nivolumab, an immunotherapy, in people with advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) might be more effective than taking tivozanib alone.
People in this study will be divided into two groups. One group will take tivozanib and one group will take tivozanib and nivolumab together. Tivozanib is taken by mouth and nivolumab is taken through an IV. Researchers will test the effects of taking one medicine compared to two medicines on treatment response and safety.

In the TiNivo-2 trial, you will either receive tivozanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), and nivolumab, an immunotherapy, together or tivozanib alone. There is no placebo group in this trial; all patients will receive active treatment.1
Tyrosine kinases are substances in the body that are important for cell growth. In cancer cells, the levels of these substances are too high. TKI medicines work by blocking these substances to help keep cancer cells from growing.2
Immunotherapies work differently from TKIs. These medicines boost your body’s natural immune system to help your body fight cancer.3
Both of these medicines have been approved by the FDA to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC).4,5*
Reference
A clinical trial is a type of study where researchers test if certain treatments, like new medicines, are effective and safe. Participating in cancer clinical trials can help move research forward so there are more medicines available for patients like you.1
Sometimes in clinical trials, one group receives an inactive treatment called placebo. But, in the TiNivo-2 trial, every patient will receive an FDA-approved therapy for advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC).2-4* Some people will take tivozanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), and nivolumab, an immunotherapy, together or tivozanib alone.2
The sponsor of a clinical trial typically pays for the costs of medicines. While insurance coverage varies, there may be no or low out-of-pocket costs while you are participating in the trial.
Reference
Every clinical trial has inclusion and exclusion criteria, meaning that only certain people can enroll because of the types of patients the researchers want to study.
To be eligible for the TiNivo-2 trial, patients must have locally advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and had their cancer progress after no more than 1 or 2 prior lines of therapy. Patients must have received an immunotherapy as part of their previous line of treatment.
Patients must also be 18 years or older and be active enough to participate.
People who have taken more than 2 lines of therapy, have an autoimmune disease, or have uncontrolled high blood pressure are not eligible for the study.

This large-scale trial will assess the safety and efficacy of a tivozanib-nivolumab combination compared
with tivozanib alone for aRCC.1,2 Endpoints will include progression-free survival, overall survival, objective
response rate, duration of response, and safety.1,2
Patients with aRCC may be eligible for the trial if they have received 1 or 2 prior lines of therapy,
including an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI).
