Recruiting studies in Tennessee
- NCT07748988RecruitingPhase 1
Casdatifan for advanced kidney cancer that has stopped responding
This study tests a new pill called casdatifan for people with advanced kidney cancer that has not improved after standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors and be safe to take.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–100 - NCT07555210Recruiting

Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06661720RecruitingPhase 3
Tivozanib and pembrolizumab after kidney cancer surgery
This trial is testing if adding the targeted therapy tivozanib to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) can help prevent kidney cancer from coming back after all known tumors have been removed by surgery.
Collierville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06532279RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BMX-001 with chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding BMX-001 (a drug that may protect healthy tissues) to standard chemoradiation can reduce side effects and improve outcomes for people with head and neck cancer. It's a randomized study, so you would have a 50/50 chance of getting BMX-001 or a placebo.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06234605RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new combination for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug (HC-7366) combined with an approved targeted therapy (belzutifan) for people with advanced kidney cancer. It aims to see if the combination is safe and works better than either drug alone.

PET/CT scan using panitumumab to find head and neck cancer spread
This Phase 1 study tests a new way to use a scan (PET/CT) with a drug called panitumumab to help spot where head and neck squamous cell cancer has spread. It may help doctors better target treatment by finding metastases earlier or more clearly.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 19 years+ - NCT05536141RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AB521 for kidney cancer and other solid tumors
This early-stage trial tests AB521, alone and in combination with other medicines, in people with advanced solid tumors—especially clear cell kidney cancer. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment could help shrink tumors or control the disease.

What taking part in a renal cell carcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there renal cell carcinoma clinical trials in Tennessee?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 51 recruiting renal cell carcinoma studies with a site in Tennessee, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a renal cell carcinoma study in Tennessee?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Tennessee to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Tennessee, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a renal cell carcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
