This study tests whether closely monitoring small kidney tumors (less than 4 cm) with regular imaging is a safe and effective option for people who cannot or choose not to have immediate treatment. It involves a biopsy at the start to confirm the tumor type.
NovaraAges 18 years+ - NCT05905315RecruitingPhase 2
Vulvar cancer treatment: chemoradiation vs chemotherapy then surgery
This Phase 2 trial compares two treatment approaches for some women with vulvar squamous cell cancer: chemoradiation first, or chemotherapy first followed by surgery. The goal is to see which strategy works better or is safer for tumors that are hard to remove without major pelvic surgery.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05868174RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a targeted radiation drug plus a DNA repair blocker
This early-phase trial tests whether combining a targeted radiation medicine (177Lu-TLX250) with a DNA repair–blocking drug (peposertib) can shrink advanced solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that strongly show a marker called CAIX, which helps the radiation home in and may make treatment more effective.

Combination therapy before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (interferon gamma and camrelizumab) given before surgery for a certain type of esophageal cancer. It aims to see if this combination can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07781072RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus radiation for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) with radiation and chemotherapy for people with advanced head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06553339RecruitingPhase 1
A study of HS-10516 for VHL syndrome tumors
This trial tests a new drug called HS-10516 in people with VHL syndrome or advanced kidney cancer. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors and what side effects it might have.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07770802RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an investigational cell therapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests an investigational medicine called HS-IT101 for people with advanced kidney cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this new therapy can help shrink or control the cancer.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06344052RecruitingPhase 2
SP-002 with Vismodegib for Advanced Basal Cell Cancer
This trial tests a new drug (SP-002) combined with vismodegib for people with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer that can't be treated with surgery or has come back after surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05495152RecruitingPhase 3
Sintilimab after esophageal surgery to help prevent cancer return
This trial looks at adding sintilimab (an immunotherapy) after surgery for certain stages of esophageal squamous cell cancer. The goal is to lower the chance the cancer comes back after standard treatment.

Theranostic pair for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a radioactive drug and its imaging partner to find and treat kidney cancer that has spread. You get a scan first to see if the cancer absorbs the drug, and if it does, you receive the therapy.

The therapy uses cells from your own immune system that are genetically modified to recognize and attack cancer cells.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07638436RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with chemotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced renal cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 386 recruiting advanced renal cell carcinoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a advanced renal cell carcinoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a advanced renal cell carcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
