Recruiting studies
- NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06234605RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new combination for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug (HC-7366) combined with an approved targeted therapy (belzutifan) for people with advanced kidney cancer. It aims to see if the combination is safe and works better than either drug alone.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06242470RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MGC026 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MGC026 that targets a protein called B7-H3 on cancer cells, aiming to shrink or slow different advanced solid tumors. It is an early-phase study to find the right dose and check safety.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06161532RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan with or without atezolizumab for rare GU cancers
This trial is testing a drug called sacituzumab govitecan, sometimes combined with atezolizumab (an immunotherapy), for rare cancers of the bladder, urinary tract, kidney, or penis. The goal is to see if these treatments work well for people whose cancers have not responded to other options.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06005818RecruitingPhase 2
MRD-guided therapy for kidney cancer after surgery
This trial tests whether personalized monitoring of cancer DNA in your blood (MRD) can guide treatment decisions after kidney cancer surgery. If MRD is detected, you may receive extra immunotherapy to reduce the risk of cancer returning.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06053658RecruitingPhase 2
Tivozanib and Nivolumab for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (tivozanib and nivolumab) for people with advanced kidney cancer that is not clear cell type. It aims to see if this drug pair can shrink or slow the cancer.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06004336RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy after radiation for limited spread kidney cancer
This trial tests whether giving a maintenance medication (pembrolizumab) after targeted radiation helps keep kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots (5 or fewer) from growing. You would receive radiation to each spot and then be randomly assigned to receive either the medication or a placebo (inactive substance) for up to about 2 years.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06026410RecruitingPhase 1
KO-2806 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called KO-2806, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific gene changes (like HRAS or KRAS mutations). It may help if standard treatments have stopped working.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05969496RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus axitinib before kidney surgery for RCC with IVC tumor
This Phase 2 trial tests whether pembrolizumab plus axitinib can shrink kidney cancer before surgery, when there is tumor growth into the inferior vena cava (IVC). It may help make the operation easier and improve chances of long-term control.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05738694RecruitingPhase 3
Test axitinib plus immunotherapy before kidney cancer surgery
This study tests whether taking axitinib plus an immunotherapy drug (PD-1) before surgery can help people with kidney cancer live longer without the cancer coming back. It’s focused on people who have a higher-risk kidney tumor based on scans and pathology findings.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT04989959RecruitingPhase 1
PET/CT scan test in kidney cancer and related conditions
This Phase 1 study tests whether a special PET/CT scan drug ([18F]PT2385) can help doctors see kidney cancer and related tumors. It may help guide diagnosis and treatment decisions, especially in people planning surgery or starting belzutifan.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05706129RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing targeted imaging and therapy for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests two radioactive medicines that first help doctors see tumors and, in some parts of the study, treat them. It may help people with advanced, hard-to-remove cancers that have a specific tumor marker (CA IX).
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT05665361RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing palbociclib plus sasanlimab for advanced kidney cancers
This study tests a combination of two medicines—palbociclib and sasanlimab—in people with advanced clear cell or papillary kidney cancer. It’s mainly designed to check safety (and early signs of how well the treatment may work) in these cancer types.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05536141RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AB521 for kidney cancer and other solid tumors
This early-stage trial tests AB521, alone and in combination with other medicines, in people with advanced solid tumors—especially clear cell kidney cancer. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment could help shrink tumors or control the disease.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05433142RecruitingPhase 1
XmAb 819 for advanced kidney cancer and other solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests a new drug called XmAb 819 to treat advanced clear cell kidney cancer and other cancers that have grown despite standard treatments. It mainly looks at safety and how the body responds, with the goal of finding signs the drug can work.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05361720RecruitingPhase 2
Genetic test to match treatment for advanced kidney cancer
This study looks at genetic (RNA) testing of kidney cancer tissue to help choose the best drug treatment. It may help guide therapy for people with advanced or metastatic clear cell kidney cancer who are starting treatment for the first time.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05263050RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests a new cabozantinib schedule for kidney and neuroendocrine tumors

A trial of PD-1 plus aldesleukin for melanoma or kidney cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining anti–PD-1 treatment with aldesleukin can shrink or control metastatic melanoma or metastatic kidney (renal cell) cancer. It is mainly for people who have either not had anti–PD-1 before, or whose cancer did not respond to prior anti–PD-1 treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors

San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05127824RecruitingPhase 2
Kidney cancer vaccine made from your own immune cells
This Phase 2 study tests a personalized kidney cancer vaccine made from your own immune cells. It aims to help your immune system recognize and attack clear cell kidney cancer after surgery, potentially lowering the chance of the cancer coming back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test to catch cancer early after treatment
This study looks for signs of cancer left in the body after treatment using a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy). It aims to see if the test can catch cancer that might come back earlier than regular scans.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for clear cell renal cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 161 recruiting clear cell 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 clear cell 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 clear cell 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.
