Recruits 38 Adults without legal capacity, under guardianship or curatorship, deprived of their liberty are explicitly listed in exclusion criteria. Inclusion requires the ability to understand and willingness to provide documented informed consent. Subject information and informed consent documents and a proxy statement are provided in country-specific ICF documents (examples: L1_SIS and ICF Main_DNK_DK_For Publication; L1_Main ICF_FRA_FR_For Publication; L2_Proxy statement_DNK_DK_For Publication)..
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- 15. A WOCBP who has a positive urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to the first dose of study intervention (see Appendix 2). If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.
- Vulnerable Population
- Adults without legal capacity, under guardianship or curatorship, deprived of their liberty are explicitly listed in exclusion criteria. Inclusion requires the ability to understand and willingness to provide documented informed consent. Subject information and informed consent documents and a proxy statement are provided in country-specific ICF documents (examples: L1_SIS and ICF Main_DNK_DK_For Publication; L1_Main ICF_FRA_FR_For Publication; L2_Proxy statement_DNK_DK_For Publication).
Inclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- 1. Has the ability to understand and willingness to provide documented informed consent form before the performance of any study-specific procedures\n- 2. 18 years of age or older\n- 3. Has a diagnosis of von Hippel-Lindau disease, based on a germline VHL alteration\n- 4. Has at least 1 measurable solid RCC tumor and no RCC tumor greater than 3.0 cm that requires immediate surgical intervention. The diagnosis of RCC can be radiologic (histologic diagnosis not required). Patients may have VHL disease-associated tumors in other organ systems\n- 5. Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1.\n- 6. Has organ and marrow function as defined in the protocol.\n- 7. Male patients are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period and for at least 7 days after the last dose of study intervention: A) Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent; OR B) Must agree to use contraception unless confirmed to be azoospermic (vasectomized or secondary to medical cause as detailed below: - Agree to use a male condom plus partner use of an additional contraceptive method when having penile-vaginal intercourse with a WOCBP who is not currently pregnant. Note: Men with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to remain abstinent from penile-vaginal intercourse or use a male condom during each episode of penile-vaginal penetration. C) Male patients must also agree to use male condom when engaging in any activity that allows for passage of ejaculate to another person of any sex. D) Contraceptive use by men should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.\n- 8. A female patient is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: Is not a WOCBP; OR A) Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), with low user dependency, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a longterm and persistent basis), as described in Appendix 2 during the intervention period and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study intervention. The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (ie, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study intervention. B) A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention. C) If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the patients must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive. D) Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study intervention are located in Appendix 2. E) The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy. F) Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.\n- 9. Able to swallow oral medications and comply with study procedures"}

Endpoints
Primary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"- Overall response rate (ORR) in VHL disease-associated RCC tumors, defined as proportion of patients with a best confirmed response of CR or PR as determined by RECIST 1.1 and as assessed by an IRC.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Defined as proportion of patients with a best confirmed response of CR or PR as determined by RECIST 1.1 and as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC)."}
Secondary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"- Duration of response (DOR) in VHL disease-associated RCC tumors, defined as the interval from the first documentation of response, as determined by RECIST 1.1, to the earlier of the first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause, and calculated for patients with a best confirmed response of CR or PR.\n- Time to response (TTR) in VHL disease-associated RCC tumors, defined as the interval from the start of study treatment to the first documentation of a response, as determined by RECIST 1.1, and calculated for patients with a best confirmed response of CR or PR.\n- Progression-free survival (PFS) in VHL disease-associated RCC tumors, defined as the interval from the start of study treatment until the earlier of the first documentation of disease progression determined by RECIST 1.1 or death from any cause.\n- Time to surgery (TTS) for VHL disease-associated RCC tumors, defined as the interval from the start of study treatment to the date of surgery.\n- ORR, DOR, TTR, PFS, and TTS for non-RCC tumors associated with VHL disease in individual organ systems.\n- Pharmacokinetics will be evaluated.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Endpoints are defined in relation to RECIST 1.1 assessments for tumor responses (ORR, DOR, TTR, PFS) and measured as specified (eg, DOR = interval from first documented response to progression or death).
