Recruiting studies
- NCT06937567RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CDH17 car-t therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called CDH17 CAR-T for people with advanced solid tumors like colorectal, stomach, pancreatic, or bile duct cancer. It is for patients who have tried other treatments without success. The therapy uses your own immune cells, modified to target a protein called CDH17 found on some cancer cells.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06873555RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for ovarian cancer and other advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug (DC05F01) for people with ovarian cancer that has come back after platinum treatment, or for those with other advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard therapies. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT04671771Recruiting
Testing a new graft for hemodialysis access in kidney failure
This study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–90 - NCT06445114RecruitingPhase 2
Blood-Guided Chemoradiation for HPV-Positive Throat Cancer
This study tests whether a blood test that looks for circulating HPV DNA (ctDNA) can help doctors decide if you need chemotherapy after surgery for HPV-positive throat cancer. After you have surgery to remove the cancer, you receive radiation (possibly with chemotherapy) — the results of the blood test guide whether or not to add chemo.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05494190Recruiting
Treatment strategy for lymph node spread in hypopharyngeal cancer
This trial studies treatment choices for people with hypopharyngeal squamous cell cancer that has spread to certain neck lymph nodes. The goal is to help control the cancer in the neck and improve outcomes when the lymph node area can be surgically managed.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–75 - NCT03101995RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine with radiation for locally advanced cervical cancer
This trial studies whether adding gemcitabine (a chemotherapy medicine) to standard radiation can better treat locally advanced cervical cancer. It also focuses on whether this treatment is safe and effective for people with reduced kidney function.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–70 - NCT06680089RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging test for kidney cancer using CD70-targeted drug
This trial uses a special imaging drug that targets CD70 (a protein on some kidney cancer cells) to see if it can better detect and track kidney tumors. It may help doctors understand how much cancer is present and guide treatment decisions.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05851365RecruitingEarly Phase 1

This study uses a radioactive tracer to take pictures of tumors that have a protein called HER2. It may help doctors see where the cancer is in your body and could guide future treatment decisions.
Wuxi, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07023861Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
New imaging test for HER2-positive cancers
This trial tests a new imaging method that uses a radioactive tracer to find HER2-positive cancer cells in the body. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly in people with stomach, breast, or bladder cancer.
Wuxi, JiangsuAges 15–75 - NCT05060796RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T treatment for advanced lung cancer with EGFR and CXCL13 signs
This early-phase study tests a custom CAR-T cell therapy made to target EGFR in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You may be eligible if your tumor has specific lab markers (EGFR and CXCL13) and if your overall heart, liver, kidney, and blood counts can safely support treatment.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT07463599RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tegavivint for advanced colorectal cancer after other treatments
This early-phase trial tests an experimental drug called tegavivint for people with advanced colorectal cancer who have already tried several standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can shrink or slow the growth of tumors.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07034053RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Clofarabine for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests the drug clofarabine in people with advanced bladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It is for those who have already tried standard treatments or chose not to have them.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06356155RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two drugs before surgery for upper tract cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, given before surgery for upper tract urothelial cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients who are candidates for surgery.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05912816RecruitingPhase 2
Kidney-protecting treatment for high-risk upper urinary tract cancer
This trial tests whether combining DV with tislelizumab can help protect kidney function in people with high-risk cancer in the upper urinary tract (the renal pelvis or ureter). It may help preserve the kidneys while treating the cancer more effectively.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT06272214RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant radiotherapy for esophageal cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests if adding radiation therapy after surgery improves outcomes for people with esophageal squamous cell cancer who received immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery but did not achieve a complete response. It aims to see if this approach can lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07097142RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation for bladder cancer with chemo
This trial tests if a shorter course of radiation therapy works as well as the usual longer course for people with bladder cancer who are also receiving standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if shorter treatment can reduce side effects while still being effective.
Fort Smith, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06646588RecruitingPhase 2
Study of fruquintinib, tislelizumab, and radiation for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (fruquintinib and tislelizumab) followed by radiation therapy for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.

Savolitinib plus docetaxel for advanced lung cancer with high MET
This trial studies savolitinib (an oral MET-targeted medicine) combined with docetaxel (an IV chemotherapy) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumor has high MET activity. It’s designed to see if this combination can shrink tumors or control the cancer after the first standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07322783RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib plus savolitinib for resistant lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (osimertinib and savolitinib) for people with a specific type of advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. It may help patients whose cancer has a low number of MET gene copies.
QingdaoAges 18–80 - NCT06019468RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 167 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.
