Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07219576RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of Retifanlimab and Ruxolitinib for Certain Cancers
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, retifanlimab and ruxolitinib, for people with advanced kidney cancer (clear cell renal cell carcinoma) or lung cancer (non-small cell lung carcinoma) whose cancer has grown after previous treatment with a type of immunotherapy called PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. The goal is to see if this combination can help when standard treatments are no longer working.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07223541RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and targeted radiation for advanced kidney cancer
This study tests a new immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab), either alone or combined with another drug (fianlimab), after targeted radiation (SBRT) to kill cancer cells. It is for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer who have few spots of spread and have not had many prior treatments.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07240610Recruiting
Radiation and immunotherapy for kidney cancer that has spread
This trial tests whether adding a special type of radiation to your current immunotherapy can help shrink kidney cancer tumors that have stopped responding or are stable. The goal is to see if the radiation can boost the immune system's ability to fight cancer elsewhere in the body.
