This study lets people who were in an earlier Exelixis cancer treatment trial continue receiving the same treatment if it's still helping them. It's designed to see how safe and effective the treatment is over a longer period.
Bay Shore, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07476287RecruitingPhase 2
Study of PF08634404 plus chemo for transformed small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new study drug (PF08634404) combined with standard chemotherapy for people whose non-small cell lung cancer has changed into a more aggressive form called small cell lung cancer. It hopes to improve outcomes by targeting the cancer in two ways.

Orellanine for kidney cancer patients on dialysis
This early-stage study tests orellanine to treat advanced kidney cancer that has spread (metastatic clear-cell or papillary type). It may help by shrinking or controlling cancer, and by seeing whether the treatment is safe and tolerable in people already on chronic dialysis.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06822543RecruitingPhase 2
A new treatment for lung cancer that has spread to the brain
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (datopotamab deruxtecan, carboplatin, and pembrolizumab) for people with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain and has not been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors in the brain and elsewhere.
Fortaleza, CearáAges 18 years+ - NCT05733715RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib before kidney cancer surgery
This trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immune medicine) and lenvatinib (a targeted medicine) before surgery can shrink or better treat renal cell carcinoma. The goal is to improve surgical outcomes and help the body fight the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07761910RecruitingPhase 2
Study of heart effects of radiation therapy using PET-CT for stage III lung cancer
This study looks at whether PET-CT scans can help detect heart damage caused by radiation therapy in patients with stage III lung cancer. If you're getting chemotherapy and radiation together, you may participate to help doctors find ways to reduce heart risks.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05706129RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing targeted imaging and therapy for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests two radioactive medicines that first help doctors see tumors and, in some parts of the study, treat them. It may help people with advanced, hard-to-remove cancers that have a specific tumor marker (CA IX).
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT07187869RecruitingPhase 1
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for kidney cancer with bone spread
This study tests whether adding a drug called cabozantinib to standard nivolumab treatment helps fight kidney cancer that has spread to bone. It aims to understand how the bone environment changes during treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07188896RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy combinations for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy drugs (fianlimab, cemiplimab, and possibly ipilimumab) compared to another immunotherapy combo (ipilimumab + nivolumab) for people with advanced kidney cancer who have not had previous treatment. The goal is to see which combination works better.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07179770RecruitingPhase 1
Belzutifan and imaging in advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug called belzutifan combined with a special imaging agent (89Zr-DFO-girentuximab) to see how they affect PET scans in people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer. It may help doctors better understand the cancer and guide treatment.

CD70 CAR-T Cell Therapy for Advanced Kidney Cancer
This early-stage trial tests a new type of cell therapy called CD70 CAR-T for advanced kidney cancer (clear cell renal cell carcinoma) that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. The therapy uses cells from your own immune system that are genetically modified to recognize and attack cancer cells.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06428708RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PSMA PET scan for metastatic kidney cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan called PSMA to see if it can better detect kidney cancer that has spread. It may help find tumors that other scans miss.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib, which may slow or shrink various types of advanced cancer. It is given together with other cancer treatments, and the study is looking at many different cancers including kidney, prostate, bladder, lung, liver, and more.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06465069RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced bladder and other solid tumors
This study tests a new drug (LY4052031) for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially bladder cancer. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective when given alone or after other treatments have stopped working.

This trial is testing if adding the targeted therapy tivozanib to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) can help prevent kidney cancer from coming back after all known tumors have been removed by surgery.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07226544RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab before surgery for high-risk kidney cancer
This trial tests giving the drug ivonescimab before surgery for patients with high-risk clear cell kidney cancer. The goal is to see if it can help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.

New immunotherapy for advanced prostate or kidney cancer
This trial tests new experimental drugs (REGN15505 and REGN4336) designed to target and attack cancer cells in advanced prostate cancer or kidney cancer. These drugs work by boosting your immune system to recognize and destroy cancer, and may be combined with other approved immunotherapy drugs.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for renal cell cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 734 recruiting renal cell 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 cell 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 cell 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.
