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+ - NCT06714916Recruiting
AI-guided kidney tumor surgery study
This study uses artificial intelligence to help plan the best surgery for kidney tumors. You may be eligible if you have a kidney tumor that can be removed with surgery and have had a special CT scan within the past month.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 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.
Chūō, YamanashiAges 18 years+ - NCT06010875RecruitingPhase 1
CD70-targeted CAR-T cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (CAR-T cells) designed to attack cancer cells that have a protein called CD70. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06903312RecruitingPhase 4
Removing the main kidney tumor during immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether removing or burning (ablating) the main kidney tumor helps people with advanced kidney cancer who are already doing well on immunotherapy. Researchers want to see if combining local treatment with ongoing immunotherapy can improve outcomes.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT05917106Recruiting
Testifying methylomics blood test for new kidney cancer monitoring
This study follows people with newly diagnosed kidney cancer who have not started treatment. It tests whether a special blood test can monitor the cancer over time, alongside standard follow-up after planned surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for renal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 252 recruiting renal cancer 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 renal cancer 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 renal cancer 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.
