SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05824975RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug GI-102 alone or with cancer medicines
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether GI-102 is safe and can help shrink advanced solid tumors. It also looks at GI-102 used with standard cancer treatments like pembrolizumab or trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd).
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05706129RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing targeted imaging and therapy for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests two radioactive medicines that first help doctors see tumors and, in some parts of the study, treat them. It may help people with advanced, hard-to-remove cancers that have a specific tumor marker (CA IX).
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT07297667RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for certain advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called GCAR1, which uses your own immune cells (T-cells) to find and attack cancer cells that have a specific marker called GPNMB. It is for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can help shrink or control the tumor.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 15 years+ - NCT03981497Recruiting
Microwave treatment for small, hard-to-remove liver and kidney tumors
This trial tests using a “microwave ablation” procedure to destroy small liver or kidney tumors when surgery isn’t an option or can’t remove everything. It may help patients avoid major surgery by targeting tumors directly with heat.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07872553RecruitingPhase 4
Kidney cancer treatment preference study
This study looks at how kidney cancer patients feel about getting their treatment at home versus at the clinic, and asks their doctors for their views too. It is for patients already on certain standard treatments and aims to understand preferences that may improve care.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04712305Recruiting
Urine test to predict kidney cancer response to immunotherapy
This study uses an at-home-style urine test (urine “omics,” meaning detailed lab information) to help predict how well immunotherapy may work for advanced kidney cancer. If you join, your urine results may help doctors tailor treatment choices and better understand who benefits most.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05589207Recruiting
Model to predict outcomes in kidney cancer with IVC wall invasion
This study uses information from scans and surgery findings to build a prediction model for people with kidney cancer that has grown into a major vein (the IVC). It aims to help doctors better estimate outcomes and guide care after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05817903RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab with or without axitinib after prior nivolumab
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding axitinib to nivolumab (or giving nivolumab alone) can better control advanced clear-cell kidney cancer after standard initial treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab. It may help by extending response or slowing tumor growth while improving how long treatment works.
BresciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06265025RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
GM103 injection for advanced solid tumors that can't be removed
This trial tests an experimental drug called GM103 that is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments and cannot be surgically removed.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18 years+ - NCT05868174RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a targeted radiation drug plus a DNA repair blocker
This early-phase trial tests whether combining a targeted radiation medicine (177Lu-TLX250) with a DNA repair–blocking drug (peposertib) can shrink advanced solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that strongly show a marker called CAIX, which helps the radiation home in and may make treatment more effective.
