Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05287945RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Orellanine for kidney cancer patients on dialysis
This early-stage study tests orellanine to treat advanced kidney cancer that has spread (metastatic clear-cell or papillary type). It may help by shrinking or controlling cancer, and by seeing whether the treatment is safe and tolerable in people already on chronic dialysis.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib, which may slow or shrink various types of advanced cancer. It is given together with other cancer treatments, and the study is looking at many different cancers including kidney, prostate, bladder, lung, liver, and more.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07226544RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab before surgery for high-risk kidney cancer
This trial tests giving the drug ivonescimab before surgery for patients with high-risk clear cell kidney cancer. The goal is to see if it can help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07594106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New immunotherapy for advanced prostate or kidney cancer
This trial tests new experimental drugs (REGN15505 and REGN4336) designed to target and attack cancer cells in advanced prostate cancer or kidney cancer. These drugs work by boosting your immune system to recognize and destroy cancer, and may be combined with other approved immunotherapy drugs.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Arroyo Grande, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07300241RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NEO-811 for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug called NEO-811 for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has spread and can't be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if it helps when other treatments have stopped working or aren't an option.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07011719RecruitingPhase 3
Kidney cancer trial: new combo vs. cabozantinib alone
This trial tests a new drug (casdatifan) combined with cabozantinib for advanced clear cell kidney cancer, comparing it to cabozantinib alone. It's for people who haven't taken these specific medicines before and are still in fairly good health.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07043608RecruitingPhase 2
Zanzalintinib for kidney cancer that spread to bone
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has spread to the bones (at least 3 spots). The study wants to see if this drug can help slow down or shrink the cancer. It's for patients who have already had some prior treatments.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06942104RecruitingPhase 1
New imaging agent for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new imaging agent (18F-TRX) to see if it can better detect cancer spread in people with advanced solid tumors.

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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04510597RecruitingPhase 3

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05086692RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Beta-only IL-2 therapy for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests a beta-only version of IL-2, an immune-stimulating treatment, to shrink or control advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and to see if it can help patients by improving tumor response.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 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.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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.

San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06447103RecruitingPhase 2
New scan to find kidney cancer after surgery

What taking part in a metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
