Radiation plus immunotherapy for metastatic kidney cancer
This trial tests whether combining radiation therapy with two types of immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitors and an injectable drug called IMSA101) can help control metastatic kidney cancer that is only growing in a few spots. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and keep them from growing further.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.

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.

Toripalimab and JS004 for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, toripalimab and JS004, for patients with advanced kidney cancer that has returned or spread. It aims to see if this therapy can help when other treatments have stopped working.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06693336RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant chemotherapy trial for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug called SMS001 (a form of paclitaxel) after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06726421RecruitingPhase 3
Systemic therapy with or without radiation for kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots
This trial compares standard systemic therapy (medication) alone versus systemic therapy plus targeted radiation to the cancer spots for people with kidney cancer that has spread to a limited number of places (up to 5 spots). It aims to see if adding radiation helps control the cancer better.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 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.
Xi'an, China, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06783348RecruitingPhase 2
Radioactive treatment for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a radioactive treatment (called radiopharmaceutical) that targets a protein called PSMA on kidney cancer cells. It is for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has already been treated with immunotherapy and targeted therapy.
CaenAges 18–100 - NCT06805825RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NN3201 for advanced cancers with c-Kit
This trial tests a new drug, NN3201, that targets a protein called c-Kit found on some cancer cells. It may be an option for people with certain advanced solid tumors, including GIST, small cell lung cancer, or other c-Kit-positive cancers, who have already tried standard treatments or cannot take them.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06866262RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inulin gel with immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding an inulin gel to standard immunotherapy (ipilimumab and nivolumab) can help treat kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It is for people who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 158 recruiting renal cell carcinoma (kidney 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 carcinoma (kidney 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 carcinoma (kidney 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.
