Recruiting studies
- NCT06676527Recruiting
Vorolanib for advanced kidney cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a targeted therapy pill, vorolanib, for people with advanced kidney cancer that has clear cell features and has gotten worse after initial treatment. It may offer a new option when standard second-line treatments are not working.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06682793RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of A2B395 therapy for solid tumors with EGFR and HLA loss
This trial tests a new cell therapy called A2B395 for cancers that have EGFR, a protein on the cell surface, and have lost a specific marker called HLA-A*02. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and kill these cancer cells. This may help patients with colorectal, lung, head and neck, breast, kidney, or other solid tumors that are no longer responding to standard treatments.

Ivonescimab for advanced rare tumors: a safety & early-efficacy study
This trial tests a drug called ivonescimab in people with advanced, rare tumor types that have spread (stage IV). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and whether it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06690697RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab and JS004 for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, toripalimab and JS004, for patients with advanced kidney cancer that has returned or spread. It aims to see if this therapy can help when other treatments have stopped working.

Immunotherapy before kidney surgery for high-risk kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (cemiplimab and fianlimab) given before surgery for high-risk kidney cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if the drugs can help reduce the risk of the cancer coming back or spreading in the future.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05127824RecruitingPhase 2

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+ - NCT07688187RecruitingPhase 1
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.

Diclofenac for advanced lung cancer on immunotherapy
This trial tests whether adding the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors are growing while on a single immunotherapy drug. You must have been on immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks and have a growing tumor, but your doctor does not plan to change your treatment right away.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06764095RecruitingPhase 4
Drug combo before bladder or ureter surgery for advanced cancer
This trial tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, given before surgery to remove the bladder or ureter in people with advanced bladder or upper urinary tract cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the cancer and improves outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06783348RecruitingPhase 2
Radioactive treatment for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a radioactive treatment (called radiopharmaceutical) that targets a protein called PSMA on kidney cancer cells. It is for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has already been treated with immunotherapy and targeted therapy.
CaenAges 18–100 - NCT06805825RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NN3201 for advanced cancers with c-Kit
This trial tests a new drug, NN3201, that targets a protein called c-Kit found on some cancer cells. It may be an option for people with certain advanced solid tumors, including GIST, small cell lung cancer, or other c-Kit-positive cancers, who have already tried standard treatments or cannot take them.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06835972RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Abemaciclib and cabozantinib for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two oral drugs (abemaciclib and cabozantinib) for people with advanced kidney cancer (clear cell type) who have already tried at least two other treatments, including an immunotherapy and a targeted therapy, but their cancer kept growing. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06839105RecruitingPhase 1
Testing AWT020 for advanced cancers
This study tests an experimental drug called AWT020 in people with advanced cancers that have either stopped responding to standard treatments or aren't candidates for them. The goal is to see if AWT020 is safe and tolerable across several cancer types such as lung cancer, melanoma, colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, and others.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic renal cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 359 recruiting metastatic 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 metastatic 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 metastatic 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.
