Testing a new prostate and kidney cancer drug with immunotherapy

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04693377Recruiting
Freezing tumor treatment plus targeted radiation for painful bone spread
This study tests whether combining a “freezing” procedure (cryoablation) with focused external radiation (SBRT) can reduce pain from bone metastases. It’s for people with certain cancers that have spread to bone and are having significant pain in a specific bone spot.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04953897RecruitingPhase 1
Oral decitabine for cancer patients with kidney problems
This Phase 1 trial studies how an oral combination cancer medicine behaves in the body (dose handling and safety) in people with kidney impairment. It may help doctors learn the safest way to use this treatment when kidney function is reduced.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04969315RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug TT-10 and TT-4 for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests two investigational drugs—TT-10 and TT-4—alone and together in people with advanced solid cancers. The study is designed to find safe doses and see if the treatment can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04895709RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests how well a new drug (BMS-986340) works alone and combined with other treatments in people with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard care. It also studies tumor samples to look for biomarkers that may predict who benefits.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05048212RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab, ipilimumab, and cabozantinib for kidney cancer brain spread
This Phase 2 study tests how well nivolumab plus ipilimumab, along with cabozantinib, treats untreated or worsening kidney cancer that has spread to the brain. It may help shrink brain tumors and slow the disease when standard local brain treatments aren’t the right option.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04981509RecruitingPhase 2
Check if 3 medicines help advanced kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab can shrink or control advanced kidney cancer. It’s aimed at people with certain kidney-cancer subtypes (including HLRCC-related cases or papillary kidney cancer) and who have not had many prior targeted or immune treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT05086692RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Beta-only IL-2 therapy for advanced solid tumors

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05092373RecruitingPhase 1
Tumor treating device plus targeted or immune drugs for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether a tumor treating fields device works better when added to standard cancer drugs. It may help people with advanced solid tumors in the chest or belly, especially when standard treatment didn’t work or can’t be tolerated.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.
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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06465069RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced bladder and other solid tumors

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06362369RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral 7HP349 with immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental oral drug (7HP349) combined with two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) for people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective in shrinking tumors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06444815RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VET3-TGI for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental treatment called VET3-TGI, which is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried other treatments and are looking for new options.

Ivonescimab for advanced clear cell kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug, ivonescimab, for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has grown after at least one prior treatment. It may help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07023432RecruitingPhase 2
Belzutifan vs. watchful waiting for slow-growing kidney cancer
This trial compares two approaches for people with slow-growing, metastatic clear cell kidney cancer: taking a daily pill (belzutifan) or monitoring the cancer closely without treatment. The goal is to see if starting treatment early can help control the cancer longer than waiting.

What taking part in a renal cancer 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.
