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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04113486Recruiting
NMAP protein in new kidney or liver tumors
This study looks at a protein called NMAP in people who have a new kidney or liver mass that will be surgically removed. It helps researchers understand how this protein relates to cancer and might lead to better tests or treatments in the future.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT00001238Recruiting
Understanding kidney cancer genes in families
This research study helps doctors understand inherited kidney cancers and related conditions that run in families. Researchers collect medical information and blood samples to identify genetic causes and improve how these conditions are diagnosed and treated.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT00050752Recruiting
Study of hereditary kidney cancer and skin tumors
This research study helps doctors understand a rare genetic condition called HLRCC that causes specific types of skin tumors and kidney cancer to run in families. By studying your genetics and medical history, researchers hope to improve how doctors detect and treat this condition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT07767500Recruiting
MRI-guided radiation therapy for early-stage kidney cancer
This trial tests a new way to deliver radiation to kidney tumors using MRI guidance. It aims to treat early-stage kidney cancer while sparing healthy tissue, and may be an option for people who cannot have surgery or prefer not to.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04498767Recruiting
Radiation to treat a few metastatic spots in rare cancers
This trial studies whether stereotactic (high-precision) radiation given in a few sessions can control rare cancers that have spread to a small number of sites. It aims to help by treating all known spots while keeping side effects manageable.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07383441RecruitingPhase 3
Adding Biotherapy or Placebo to Standard Kidney Cancer Treatment
This trial tests whether adding a biotherapy (a special drug from a living source) or a placebo to standard treatments helps people with advanced kidney cancer. It may be a good option if your cancer hasn't been treated yet and you are in fairly good health.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07171190Recruiting
Adding abdominal CT to standard lung cancer screening
This study adds an optional CT scan of the belly to the usual lung cancer screening in certain areas of England. It aims to see if this extra scan helps find more health issues early.
HullAges 55–70 - NCT03741426RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combinations for kidney cancer before surgery
This trial tests new drug combinations for kidney cancer that is removable by surgery but may have spread. The goal is to see if these treatments can shrink tumors before surgery and improve outcomes.
Cambridge, EnglandAges 18 years+ - NCT02830724RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T therapy using blood immune cells for CD70 cancers
This trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CAR T) built from your own blood lymphocytes. It targets cancers that show a marker called CD70, aiming to slow or stop the cancer when other treatments didn’t work.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT02609269Enrolling by invitation
Study using your Decipher genetic test results
This study uses the Decipher genetic test results you already had to help researchers learn how to improve cancer care. You may be included simply because you previously completed that specific test.
Ages Any age - NCT07124000Recruiting
T-DXd for advanced HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial is for people with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread). It tests the drug T-DXd (also called Enhertu) when your doctor has already decided it's the right treatment for you and you have no other good options.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–130 - NCT06726421RecruitingPhase 3
Systemic therapy with or without radiation for kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots
This trial compares standard systemic therapy (medication) alone versus systemic therapy plus targeted radiation to the cancer spots for people with kidney cancer that has spread to a limited number of places (up to 5 spots). It aims to see if adding radiation helps control the cancer better.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07540260Recruiting
