Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT04053855Recruiting
Check urine for kidney cancer signals before or after surgery
This study looks for tiny substances in urine (called exosomes) to see if they can help identify clear cell kidney cancer. It compares urine samples from people having planned kidney surgery with people having surgery without a scheduled plan.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT04299646RecruitingPhase 2
Stereotactic radiation for limited spread in kidney cancer
This trial tests whether targeted, high-precision radiation (stereotactic radiotherapy) can control a small number of growing kidney cancer metastases while you continue systemic treatment. It may help people who have “oligoprogressive” disease, where only 1–3 spots are getting worse.
AlbiAges 18 years+ - NCT05214885Recruiting
Study biomarkers in kidney cancer and healthy people
This study looks at blood or body measures called “biomarkers” to understand how lack of oxygen and body energy changes in clear cell kidney cancer. It compares people with kidney cancer to carefully matched healthy volunteers to see what patterns might help improve understanding or future care.
JinanAges Any age - NCT05433142RecruitingPhase 1
XmAb 819 for advanced kidney cancer and other solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests a new drug called XmAb 819 to treat advanced clear cell kidney cancer and other cancers that have grown despite standard treatments. It mainly looks at safety and how the body responds, with the goal of finding signs the drug can work.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05931393RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib retreatment after it helped, in kidney cancer study
This Phase 2 study tests a “next-step” cabozantinib strategy for advanced kidney cancer (RCC) after your cancer previously responded to cabozantinib and then progressed. It aims to see if re-using cabozantinib in a planned sequence can control the cancer again with manageable side effects.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07688187RecruitingPhase 1
Theranostic pair for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a radioactive drug and its imaging partner to find and treat kidney cancer that has spread. You get a scan first to see if the cancer absorbs the drug, and if it does, you receive the therapy.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07067905RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan test for glioblastoma and kidney cancer
This trial tests a new PET scan tracer called [68Ga]Ga-XT771 to see if it can better detect glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor) and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (a type of kidney cancer). If you have one of these cancers, this scan might help your doctor see the tumor more clearly.
