San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07293351RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing pumitamig with other drugs for advanced kidney cancer
This study tests a new drug (pumitamig) alone or with ipilimumab or cabozantinib for advanced kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to find effective treatment options for people whose cancer has spread or is locally advanced.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03592472RecruitingPhase 3
Testing pazopanib with or without abexinostat for kidney cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies how well pazopanib works, and whether adding abexinostat can improve outcomes, for advanced kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. You may qualify if you have clear cell renal cell carcinoma and have not already had certain targeted kidney-cancer medicines.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03786796RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib for metastatic kidney cancer with specific DNA repair gene changes
This trial tests olaparib (a pill medicine) in people with kidney cancer that has spread and specific DNA “repair” gene mutations. The goal is to see whether this targeted treatment can slow the cancer or help it respond better after prior immunotherapy or blood-vessel–blocking therapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07028125RecruitingPhase 4
Digital symptom tracking for kidney cancer treatment
This trial tests whether tracking your symptoms with a digital app can help manage side effects while you receive two medications (cabozantinib and nivolumab) for advanced clear-cell kidney cancer that hasn't been treated before.
