Arroyo Grande, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06401330RecruitingPhase 3
Wilms tumor treatment study for children and young adults
This study is testing different treatments for children and young adults with a type of kidney cancer called Wilms tumor. The treatment you get depends on certain risk factors, like tumor stage and lab results. The goal is to give the right amount of treatment for each person's situation.
Orange, CaliforniaAges Up to 30 years - NCT06113016RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing frailty with fisetin and exercise in breast cancer survivors
This study tests whether adding a supplement called fisetin to an exercise program can help prevent frailty in women who have finished chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. If you are postmenopausal, have completed chemo within the last year, and can walk a certain distance, you may qualify.
Alhambra, CaliforniaAges Any age - 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.
Auburn, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07226544RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab before surgery for high-risk kidney cancer
This trial tests giving the drug ivonescimab before surgery for patients with high-risk clear cell kidney cancer. The goal is to see if it can help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Arroyo Grande, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT04198766RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New OX40 immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (INBRX-106) alone or with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) for adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help the immune system fight cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07195734RecruitingPhase 2
Adding chemo or immunotherapy before surgery for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced head and neck cancer that has come back or not gone away after prior treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07061964RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation to save the bladder
This trial tests whether combining immunotherapy and low-dose radiation after chemotherapy can help you avoid bladder removal. It's for people whose muscle-invasive bladder cancer has shrunk significantly after initial treatment.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03067181RecruitingPhase 3
Active surveillance and chemotherapy for germ cell tumors
This study looks at how to manage germ cell tumors in children and young adults using careful monitoring for some patients and chemotherapy for others. It aims to see whether these approaches can control the cancer while avoiding unnecessary treatment when possible.
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04473781RecruitingPhase 1
Brachytherapy study for non-surgical kidney cancer tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests an approach called interstitial brachytherapy (placing small radiation sources inside the tumor) for kidney cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to control tumor growth in people who are not surgical candidates and whose tumors fit specific size and imaging requirements.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04510597RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus surgery versus immunotherapy alone for kidney cancer
This study tests whether adding surgery to remove the kidney improves outcomes compared with continuing immunotherapy without surgery. It is for people with metastatic kidney cancer whose disease has not worsened after initial immunotherapy.
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+ - 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.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06995053Recruiting
Prostate cancer radiation therapy with motion monitoring
This trial tests a precise radiation technique for prostate cancer that tracks the prostate during treatment. It aims to deliver higher radiation doses more safely, which may improve outcomes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07037004RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a gut health supplement with immunotherapy after kidney cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether adding a gut health supplement (CBM588) to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can help prevent kidney cancer from returning after surgery. It is for people with certain types of kidney cancer who have not had immunotherapy before.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07097142RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation for bladder cancer with chemo
This trial tests if a shorter course of radiation therapy works as well as the usual longer course for people with bladder cancer who are also receiving standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if shorter treatment can reduce side effects while still being effective.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07218913RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a drug to reduce ear damage from chemo in testicular cancer
This trial tests whether adding Pedmark (sodium thiosulfate) to cisplatin chemotherapy can protect hearing in men with stage II or III testicular germ cell tumors. It aims to reduce the risk of drug-related ear damage while still treating the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07276438Recruiting
Image-guided radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer
This trial tests a precise radiation technique that adapts to your body's daily changes. It may offer better outcomes for men with prostate cancer that hasn't spread outside the pelvic area.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06432036RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Y90 Radioembolization for Early Kidney Cancer
This trial tests a treatment called Y90 radioembolization for people with early-stage kidney cancer who cannot have surgery or ablation. Tiny radioactive beads are delivered through a catheter to the tumor's blood supply to destroy it from the inside.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05136846RecruitingPhase 1
Papaverine with chemoradiation for stage II–III lung cancer
This early-phase trial tests whether adding papaverine to standard chemoradiation can improve treatment for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer (and some limited stage IV cases). It aims to see if the combination is safe and tolerable while targeting the cancer with radiation and chemotherapy.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test study to watch for cancer coming back

What taking part in a stage ii renal cell cancer 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.
