UTD1 plus capecitabine for HER2-negative breast cancer brain mets
This trial tests whether adding a study drug called UTD1 to capecitabine can shrink or control breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It’s for people with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who have brain metastases and meet specific safety and lab requirements.
ChangshaAges 18–70 - NCT06668493RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A virus-based treatment for low-grade upper tract bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, nadofaragene firadenovec, which uses a harmless virus to deliver a signal that helps your immune system fight low-grade cancer in the upper part of the urinary tract (the kidney area). It's given directly into the kidney through a small tube, and may avoid more invasive surgery.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06086197RecruitingPhase 2
A drug combo for early relapsed or refractory DLBCL
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs for people with a type of lymphoma called diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has either come back early or never fully responded to first treatment. The goal is to see if this drug combination can help control the lymphoma.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06083922RecruitingPhase 2
CyBorD plus Daratumumab for kidney disease caused by abnormal proteins
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (CyBorD plus daratumumab) to treat kidney damage caused by abnormal proteins (monoclonal gammopathy). It aims to improve kidney function and reduce protein levels.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07241468RecruitingEarly Phase 1

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.
