Extension Study for Participants in Studies That Include Belzutifan (MK-6482-043/LITESPARK-043)
Purpose
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat advanced solid tumors and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)-related tumors: - Advanced means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed with surgery - Solid tumors are cancers mostly in body organs and tissues, not in the blood or other body liquids - VHL-related tumors are tumors caused by VHL disease. VHL disease is passed down from parents to children and people with VHL disease have a higher chance of getting certain types of cancer Researchers want to learn about the long-term effects of a trial medicine called belzutifan. Belzutifan, also called MK-6482, is designed to block a protein that helps tumors grow and survive. This is an extension trial, which means only people who were in certain other belzutifan trials (called parent trials) may be able to join. The goal of this trial is to learn how long people live after they start taking belzutifan.

Arm Groups
| Arm | Description | Assigned Intervention |
|---|---|---|
|
Experimental Cohort A: Belzutifan Monotherapy |
Participants on active treatment assigned to belzutifan monotherapy in a parent study are transitioned to this extension study. Participants will continue the same dose and frequency of intervention as they were receiving in the parent study at the time of the transition. Treatment will continue until progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, investigator decision, or study termination. |
|
|
Experimental Cohort B: Belzutifan Combination Therapy |
Participants on active treatment assigned to a belzutifan combination therapy in a parent study are transitioned to this extension study. Participants will continue the same dose and frequency of intervention as they were receiving in the parent study at the time of the transition. Treatment will continue until PD, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, investigator decision, or study termination. |
|
|
Active Comparator Cohort C: Non-Belzutifan Therapy |
Participants on active treatment assigned to a non-belzutifan therapy in a parent study are transitioned to this extension study. Participants will continue the same dose and frequency of intervention as they were receiving in the parent study at the time of the transition. Treatment will continue until PD, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, investigator decision, or study termination. |
