Recruiting studies
- NCT07062549RecruitingPhase 1
New imaging agent for metastatic clear cell kidney cancer
This trial tests a new radioactive imaging agent (111In-XYIMSR-01) to see how well it finds clear cell kidney cancer that has spread. It involves a special SPECT/CT scan and may help doctors better see where the cancer is.

Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07300241RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NEO-811 for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug called NEO-811 for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has spread and can't be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if it helps when other treatments have stopped working or aren't an option.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05518253RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T treatment for CD70-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a lab-made immune therapy (CAR-T) that targets a protein called CD70 found on some advanced cancers. It’s designed for people whose solid tumors have spread and no standard treatments have worked or weren’t tolerated.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT01050504Recruiting
Donate blood and tissue to study recurrent or metastatic cancers
This study collects and studies blood and, when possible, small tissue samples from people with prostate or bladder/urothelial cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to better understand these cancers and support future research that may lead to better care.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06161532RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan with or without atezolizumab for rare GU cancers
This trial is testing a drug called sacituzumab govitecan, sometimes combined with atezolizumab (an immunotherapy), for rare cancers of the bladder, urinary tract, kidney, or penis. The goal is to see if these treatments work well for people whose cancers have not responded to other options.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07485114Recruiting
Galectin-3 levels in patients on immunotherapy for cancer
This study looks at a protein called galectin-3 in people with certain cancers who are getting immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors). It aims to see if galectin-3 levels can help predict how well the treatment works.
Tel Aviv, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT05824975RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug GI-102 alone or with cancer medicines
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether GI-102 is safe and can help shrink advanced solid tumors. It also looks at GI-102 used with standard cancer treatments like pembrolizumab or trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd).
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06751498Recruiting
Predicting kidney function after partial nephrectomy with AI
This trial uses a special computer model to predict how well your kidneys will work after surgery to remove part of a kidney (partial nephrectomy). It may help doctors plan better care for people with early-stage kidney tumors.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT05775471RecruitingPhase 2
Check PD-1 plus enfortumab after kidney-urine-duct surgery
This Phase 2 study tests giving pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) and enfortumab vedotin (an antibody-drug medicine) before and after surgery to remove high-risk upper urinary tract cancer. The goal is to lower the chance the cancer comes back.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04659343Recruiting
Testing tumor care planning for metastatic kidney cancer
This trial studies a way to plan and manage care for people with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer that has spread). It may help doctors coordinate treatment more effectively to improve outcomes.
Aarhus, DanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06065852Recruiting
National registry for rare kidney diseases
This study creates a registry to collect health information from people with rare kidney diseases. It aims to improve understanding and future treatments by tracking patient experiences.
Bristol, South WestAges Any age - NCT04787042RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety and early benefits of ST-067 for advanced solid tumors
This early-stage trial tests ST-067 to see if it is safe and whether it may shrink advanced cancers. It also looks at how the drug moves through the body and affects the immune system.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04628767RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Durvalumab plus chemo before surgery for upper tract cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer. It compares different treatment approaches based on whether a patient can receive cisplatin chemotherapy.
Kingman, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06889649RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT plus immunotherapy and targeted therapy for kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapy (axitinib) and immunotherapy (toripalimab) alongside stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for kidney cancer that has come back or spread. It may be an option if you have a limited number of metastatic tumors that can be treated with radiation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT03374267Recruiting
Urologic cancer registry study
This registry study collects information from people with different types of advanced or high-risk urologic cancers. It helps doctors learn more about how these cancers are treated in real life.
Multiple LocationsAges 18 years+ - NCT05024214RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test of envafolimab plus lenvatinib for advanced solid tumors
This trial studies whether combining envafolimab (an anti-immune cancer medicine) with lenvatinib (a targeted pill) can shrink or control advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard care. It may help people whose tumors are not curable with usual treatments, by testing a new combo and finding safe doses.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06565598Recruiting
Robot-assisted kidney removal with single-layer closure
This trial tests a new robot-assisted surgical technique for removing a kidney (radical nephrectomy) that uses a single-layer closure and no drain tube. It may help patients who need their kidney removed for any reason have a smoother recovery.
JiujiangAges Any age - NCT06595329RecruitingPhase 1
Pain relief after kidney cancer surgery: epidural vs spinal opioids
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after open kidney cancer surgery: an epidural (a thin tube placed near your spine) versus a single spinal injection of opioids. Both aim to control pain, but the study wants to see which method works better, with fewer side effects.
SplitAges 18 years+ - NCT06598761Recruiting
Immunotherapy plus radiation after surgery for advanced UTUC
This trial is testing whether adding immunotherapy and radiation after surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) who cannot have chemotherapy. It compares the combination to surgery alone.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06652022Recruiting
Radiation plus drugs vs drugs alone for limited spread bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation to standard drug therapy can help people with a limited number of bladder or urinary tract cancer metastases. It's for those whose cancer has spread to a few spots that can be treated with full coverage radiation.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06956144Recruiting
CAIX-targeted PET scan for kidney cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan that targets a protein (CAIX) often found in kidney cancer cells. It helps doctors see the cancer more clearly, which may guide better treatment decisions.
XiamenAges 18–74 - NCT07038733Recruiting

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.
