MERECA trial’s primary objective is to provide a proof-of-concept for ilixadencel by achieving multiple endpoints indicative of meaningful clinical impact and safety assessed over an 18-month period.

The trial also intends to examine the safety, tumour-specific immune activation and potential for clinical efficacy of two intratumoral doses of ilixadencel before surgical removal of the tumour-affected kidney and subsequent treatment with the standard of care-drug, sunitinib.

In the control arm of the study, patients are treated with sunitinib only, post-surgical removal of the tumour-affected kidney.

The study also aims to provide data on the median overall survival rate for all patients enrolled.
