Innovent Biologics (IVBIY) and HUTCHMED have announced positive results from their FRUSICA-2 Phase 2/3 clinical trial, evaluating sintilimab combined with fruquintinib as second-line treatment for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in China.

The study met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) and showed improvements in secondary endpoints, including objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR). The trial compared the combination therapy against axitinib or everolimus monotherapy for second-line RCC treatment.

The combination has previously received conditional approval from China's NMPA for treating advanced endometrial cancer with pMMR tumors based on the FRUSICA-1 study. The companies plan to proceed with NDA filings in the coming months, aiming to make this treatment option available to patients who have progressed on previous therapy.
