- 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.

Pembrolizumab plus enfortumab vedotin for rare kidney cancers
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) and enfortumab vedotin (a targeted therapy)—for people with collecting duct carcinoma or renal medullary carcinoma, two rare types of kidney cancer that have spread. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07049926RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy study for advanced kidney cancer

Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06336187Recruiting
Active monitoring for small kidney tumors
This study tests whether closely monitoring small kidney tumors (less than 4 cm) with regular imaging is a safe and effective option for people who cannot or choose not to have immediate treatment. It involves a biopsy at the start to confirm the tumor type.
NovaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.

Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06376669RecruitingPhase 2
Proton beam radiation for kidney cancer
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called stereotactic body proton therapy for people with kidney cancer who cannot have surgery or other local treatments. It aims to see if this focused radiation can control the tumor with fewer side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06380816RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of UCB4594 for advanced cancers with HLA-G marker
This trial tests an experimental drug called UCB4594 for people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective against tumors that have a specific marker called HLA-G.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06399419RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CBM588 with immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding a probiotic (CBM588) to a standard immunotherapy combination (nivolumab and ipilimumab) helps treat advanced kidney cancer. It is for people with a specific type of kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery, who have not had systemic treatment before.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06413680RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of REGN10597 with or without cemiplimab for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called REGN10597, either alone or with cemiplimab, for people with advanced solid tumors (like melanoma or kidney cancer) that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06424080Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs. robotic partial nephrectomy for kidney tumors
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery—laparoscopic and robotic-assisted—to remove kidney tumors while saving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible. It aims to see which approach leads to better outcomes and recovery for patients with small, early-stage kidney cancers.
Shibīn al Kawm, Menoufia -Ages 18 years+ - NCT06444815RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VET3-TGI for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental treatment called VET3-TGI, which is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried other treatments and are looking for new options.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06447103RecruitingPhase 2
New scan to find kidney cancer after surgery
This trial tests a special PET scan to see if it can better find leftover kidney cancer after surgery compared to a standard CT scan. You may qualify if you had kidney cancer surgery within the last 4-16 weeks and are at high risk of the cancer coming back.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03972657RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new prostate and kidney cancer drug with immunotherapy
This early trial tests whether REGN5678 (nezastomig) is safe and how well it works, either by itself or with an immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab). It targets adults with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and certain metastatic kidney cancers that have already been treated.

Nimotuzumab with immunotherapy and chemotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments—nimotuzumab (a targeted therapy), a PD-1 inhibitor (which boosts your immune system), and chemotherapy—followed by surgery for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve survival.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06519760Recruiting
68Ga-C1 PET/CT imaging for clear cell kidney cancer

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.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06536439Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for renal cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 526 recruiting renal cell carcinoma 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 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 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.
