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+ - NCT05985655RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GTAEXS617 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called GTAEXS617 for adults with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT05096390RecruitingPhase 2
Axitinib plus pembrolizumab for first metastatic kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether combining axitinib and pembrolizumab can shrink and control metastatic or inoperable type 2 or mixed papillary kidney cancer. It may help by blocking cancer growth signals and boosting the immune system to attack the cancer.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07611825RecruitingPhase 2
Gut Bacteria Treatment for Advanced Kidney Cancer Resistant to Immunotherapy
This study tests whether modifying your gut bacteria can help immunotherapy work again in advanced kidney cancer that has stopped responding to initial immune-checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Researchers will give you a special bacterial preparation along with a new immunotherapy drug to see if this combination can slow or shrink your cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–90 - NCT05868174RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a targeted radiation drug plus a DNA repair blocker
This early-phase trial tests whether combining a targeted radiation medicine (177Lu-TLX250) with a DNA repair–blocking drug (peposertib) can shrink advanced solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that strongly show a marker called CAIX, which helps the radiation home in and may make treatment more effective.
North Ryde, New South WalesAges 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 - NCT04712305Recruiting
Urine test to predict kidney cancer response to immunotherapy
This study uses an at-home-style urine test (urine “omics,” meaning detailed lab information) to help predict how well immunotherapy may work for advanced kidney cancer. If you join, your urine results may help doctors tailor treatment choices and better understand who benefits most.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT04792463Recruiting
BAP1 gene cancer-risk study and family cancer patterns
This study looks at how the BAP1 gene affects cancer risk and what cancers people develop, including within families. You may be able to join if you have a known BAP1-related mutation, a strong family cancer history, or a concerning cancer pattern linked to BAP1.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT05319015RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab before kidney surgery for IVC tumor
This trial studies lenvatinib and pembrolizumab given before surgery to treat kidney cancer that has grown into a large vein (the IVC) near the liver or heart. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor thrombus and make treatment and surgery more effective and safer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05817903RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab with or without axitinib after prior nivolumab
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding axitinib to nivolumab (or giving nivolumab alone) can better control advanced clear-cell kidney cancer after standard initial treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab. It may help by extending response or slowing tumor growth while improving how long treatment works.
BresciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06222593RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bicalutamide plus sunitinib for TKI-resistant kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—bicalutamide and sunitinib—for people with advanced kidney cancer that no longer responds to TKI therapy. The goal is to see if this new combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06730672RecruitingPhase 2
Testing voronib plus everolimus for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs — voronib and everolimus — for people with clear cell kidney cancer whose previous targeted therapy and immunotherapy have stopped working. The goal is to see if this new combination can help when other treatments have failed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07024680Recruiting
Sunitinib or sorafenib for papillary kidney cancer
This study looks at how well sunitinib or sorafenib work as a first treatment for a type of kidney cancer called papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) that cannot be removed with surgery or has spread. It aims to understand real-world results in Chinese patients.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04481256Recruiting
Immunotherapy with chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This trial tests adding medicines that block TGF-beta and PD-L1 to standard chemoradiation for esophageal squamous cell cancer that can’t be removed with surgery. It aims to improve control of the cancer where it sits, while keeping treatment safe.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06669572RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib and pembrolizumab for advanced anal or rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, lenvatinib and pembrolizumab, for people with anal or rectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed and has worsened after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06784791RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab before surgery for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, amivantamab, given before surgery for people with a specific EGFR-mutated lung cancer. It aims to shrink tumors and improve surgical outcomes, and may be combined with standard chemotherapy in some patients.
HasseltAges 18 years+ - NCT06043713RecruitingPhase 1
T-cell therapy for KRAS G12V solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized T-cell therapy designed to recognize and attack cancer cells with a specific KRAS G12V mutation. It is for people with metastatic solid tumors that have this mutation and a specific immune type (HLA-A*11:01).
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06478225Recruiting
Cell therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy (BGT007H) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has not responded to earlier treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help shrink or control the cancer.

Personalized radiation for early stage lung cancer
This trial tests a personalized radiation treatment called SBRT for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that is located in the outer part of the lung and cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this approach works well for people who cannot have surgery or choose not to.

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.
