HiberCell and Merck to Evaluate HC-7366 + WELIREG (belzutifan) in Ph 1b Study of ccRCC Patients
“We are excited to collaborate with Merck to evaluate HC-7366 in combination with belzutifan,” said Jonathan Lanfear, President & CEO of HiberCell. “We are also excited to announce that one of the scientific leaders within the RCC space, Dr. Robert Motzer, will be our lead PI for this important trial. We expect this study to build on what we have demonstrated preclinically, showing that the combination of these two therapies has the potential to significantly broaden and deepen patient responses relative to belzutifan alone. This trial will also build on the data from our ongoing Ph1a/1b monotherapy studies for HC-7366 in solid tumors. We are eager to pursue this investigational combination in a setting where additional treatment options for patients are needed.”
