Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The primary objective of the phase 1b portion of the study is to determine the MTD or RP2D of 177Lu-PNT2002 radiopharmaceutical therapy in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic clear cell RCC. The primary objective of the phase 2 portion of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of 177Lu-PNT2002 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic clear cell RCC who progressed on prior anti PD-1/PDL1 therapy based on objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
Patients in both phases will receive PSMA-PET with (F-18)-DCFPyl at screening, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. (F-18)-DCFPyl was developed as a diagnostic radiotracer for the detection of prostate cancer and was FDA approved in 2021 for the detection of PSMA positive lesions in men with prostate cancer. However, PSMA is not entirely prostate-specific, as it has been shown to be present on neovascular endothelium of numerous solid tumors, including RCC. Prior studies have demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity of the detection of metastatic clear cell RCC lesions using PET imaging with various PSMA radiotracers, such as (F-18)-DCFPyl. Based on this, the high expression of PSMA in RCC and the synergy of PSMA radiopharmaceuticals with ICIs, such as pembrolizumab, provide a novel treatment strategy in RCC.

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Participants must have progressed on treatment with an anti-PD-1/L1 ICI administered either as monotherapy or in combination with other checkpoint inhibitors or other therapies. PD-1 treatment progression is defined by meeting all of the following criteria:

2. More than one prior line of anti-PD-1/L1 ICI is allowed.
3. The immediate prior line of therapy is not mandated to be with anti-PD-1/L1 ICI.
4. Postoperative or adjuvant systemic therapy can be counted as a prior ICI therapy as long as recurrence is detected within 6 months of completion of treatment, in which case it will be counted as a prior therapy for metastatic disease.
3. Metastatic or locally advanced inoperable clear cell RCC.
4. Participants who have AEs due to previous anticancer therapies must have recovered to ≤Grade 1 or baseline.
5. Evidence of positive PSMA avid lesions as per (F-18)-DCFPyL PSMA PET scan at screening. Positive lesions on PSMA-PET are defined as those with maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) values greater than liver as assessed by the local site investigator radiologist.

18. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality or other circumstance that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the participant's participation for the full duration of the study, such that it is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
19. Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.
20. Is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment.
