This trial is for people aged 12 or older with advanced pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, wild-type GIST or solid tumors with HIF-2α-related genetic changes. A separate group accepts adults with localized VHL-associated tumors.

The idea: belzutifan blocks HIF-2α, a regulator of genes involved in cancer-cell growth and survival. Participants take 120 mg orally each day until progression or discontinuation. Researchers assess tumor response and safety.

This phase 2 study plans 355 patients. Merck Sharp & Dohme sponsors it, with ten recruiting US sites. Patients must be able to swallow the medication.
