Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06447103RecruitingPhase 2
New scan to find kidney cancer after surgery
This trial tests a special PET scan to see if it can better find leftover kidney cancer after surgery compared to a standard CT scan. You may qualify if you had kidney cancer surgery within the last 4-16 weeks and are at high risk of the cancer coming back.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06451497RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ZM008 alone and with toripalimab for advanced cancers

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06463665RecruitingPhase 2
Virus therapy with chemo and immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a virus to attack cancer cells, combined with standard chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than a different chemotherapy drug alone.

Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06536439Recruiting
Digital tool to plan kidney clamping during robotic surgery
This trial tests a new digital tool that helps surgeons plan the best way to clamp the blood supply to your kidney during robotic surgery. The tool aims to reduce damage to healthy kidney tissue while still blocking the tumor's blood flow.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06582017RecruitingPhase 1
Study of QXL138AM for advanced solid tumors and multiple myeloma
This trial tests an investigational drug called QXL138AM for people with advanced solid tumors or multiple myeloma that has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06583070Recruiting
SABR plus targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests combining a precise type of radiation (SABR) with standard targeted therapy and immunotherapy drugs for kidney cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to see if adding radiation improves outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06676527Recruiting
Vorolanib for advanced kidney cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a targeted therapy pill, vorolanib, for people with advanced kidney cancer that has clear cell features and has gotten worse after initial treatment. It may offer a new option when standard second-line treatments are not working.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06682793RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of A2B395 therapy for solid tumors with EGFR and HLA loss
This trial tests a new cell therapy called A2B395 for cancers that have EGFR, a protein on the cell surface, and have lost a specific marker called HLA-A*02. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and kill these cancer cells. This may help patients with colorectal, lung, head and neck, breast, kidney, or other solid tumors that are no longer responding to standard treatments.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06683846RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab for advanced rare tumors: a safety & early-efficacy study
This trial tests a drug called ivonescimab in people with advanced, rare tumor types that have spread (stage IV). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and whether it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06699602RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before kidney surgery for high-risk kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (cemiplimab and fianlimab) given before surgery for high-risk kidney cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if the drugs can help reduce the risk of the cancer coming back or spreading in the future.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05127824RecruitingPhase 2
Kidney cancer vaccine made from your own immune cells
This Phase 2 study tests a personalized kidney cancer vaccine made from your own immune cells. It aims to help your immune system recognize and attack clear cell kidney cancer after surgery, potentially lowering the chance of the cancer coming back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07688187RecruitingPhase 1
Theranostic pair for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a radioactive drug and its imaging partner to find and treat kidney cancer that has spread. You get a scan first to see if the cancer absorbs the drug, and if it does, you receive the therapy.

Study of a new drug for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug, PF-08634404, alone or with other cancer treatments, for adults with advanced kidney cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06708949RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy combo for advanced kidney cancer
This trial compares two immunotherapy combinations—nivolumab/relatlimab/ipilimumab vs. nivolumab/ipilimumab—as first treatment for advanced kidney cancer with clear cell features. It aims to see which combo works better for people who haven't had prior therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.

This trial tests whether a prehabilitation program (exercises and health support before surgery) can help older adults who are somewhat frail recover better after kidney tumor surgery.
HerlevAges 65 years+ - NCT06769893Recruiting
New PET scan for kidney cancer staging and monitoring
This study tests a new type of PET scan that uses a tracer called 68Ga-RCCB6 to see kidney cancer more clearly. It compares this scan to another PET scan (68Ga-PSMA) to help doctors stage the cancer, check treatment response, and detect any return of the disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for renal cell cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 737 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.
