Recruiting studies
- NCT07634380RecruitingPhase 1
Sitagliptin Plus Pembrolizumab for Advanced Kidney or Skin Cancer
This study tests whether adding sitagliptin (a diabetes medication) to pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) can help patients with advanced kidney cancer or melanoma whose cancer stopped responding to previous immunotherapy treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve survival.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT07615348RecruitingPhase 2
CD70 imaging to guide treatment breaks in advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether a special type of imaging scan (CD70-targeted PET/CT) can help doctors safely pause treatment in patients with advanced kidney cancer who respond well to standard immunotherapy and targeted therapy. The goal is to reduce unnecessary treatment while keeping the cancer controlled.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05096390RecruitingPhase 2
Axitinib plus pembrolizumab for first metastatic kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether combining axitinib and pembrolizumab can shrink and control metastatic or inoperable type 2 or mixed papillary kidney cancer. It may help by blocking cancer growth signals and boosting the immune system to attack the cancer.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07611825RecruitingPhase 2
Gut Bacteria Treatment for Advanced Kidney Cancer Resistant to Immunotherapy
This study tests whether modifying your gut bacteria can help immunotherapy work again in advanced kidney cancer that has stopped responding to initial immune-checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Researchers will give you a special bacterial preparation along with a new immunotherapy drug to see if this combination can slow or shrink your cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–90 - 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.
North Ryde, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07227402RecruitingPhase 3
Study of belzutifan and zanzalintinib for recurrent kidney cancer
This trial tests two new drugs, belzutifan and zanzalintinib, for people with advanced kidney cancer that returned after or within 2 years of finishing an immunotherapy treatment after surgery. You cannot have received any other cancer treatments besides that immunotherapy.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07297667RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for GPNMB-positive solid tumours

Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–130 - NCT03581773RecruitingPhase 2
Folic acid to reduce mouth sores during kidney cancer treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests whether folic acid can lessen mucositis (painful mouth sores) caused by certain kidney cancer medicines. You would either take folic acid or an inactive pill, and the study looks for improvement in these side effects.
Aarhus, Central Region of DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT04659343Recruiting
Testing tumor care planning for metastatic kidney cancer
This trial studies a way to plan and manage care for people with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer that has spread). It may help doctors coordinate treatment more effectively to improve outcomes.
Aarhus, DanmarkAges 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+ - NCT05287464Recruiting
Study for metastatic kidney cancer treatments combinations
This trial studies people with advanced (metastatic) kidney cancer who are starting a specific set of first-line treatment combinations (including drugs like nivolumab, pembrolizumab, or avelumab, paired with targeted medicines). It may help improve how these treatment plans work for different types of kidney cancer.
Province of Macerata, MacerataAges 18 years+ - NCT05319015RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab before kidney surgery for IVC tumor
This trial studies lenvatinib and pembrolizumab given before surgery to treat kidney cancer that has grown into a large vein (the IVC) near the liver or heart. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor thrombus and make treatment and surgery more effective and safer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05518253RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T treatment for CD70-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a lab-made immune therapy (CAR-T) that targets a protein called CD70 found on some advanced cancers. It’s designed for people whose solid tumors have spread and no standard treatments have worked or weren’t tolerated.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05663710RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of 177Lu antibody and medicines for first advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new combination of targeted medicines (including 177Lu girentuximab) plus immunotherapy to treat people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer who have not had prior systemic (whole-body) treatment. It aims to shrink tumors and control disease by attacking cancer in multiple ways.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05770037RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for renal carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 287 recruiting renal 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 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 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.
