Systemic therapy with or without radiation for kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots
This trial compares standard systemic therapy (medication) alone versus systemic therapy plus targeted radiation to the cancer spots for people with kidney cancer that has spread to a limited number of places (up to 5 spots). It aims to see if adding radiation helps control the cancer better.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06727409RecruitingPhase 4
Triple therapy for type 2 diabetes and kidney disease
This study tests whether adding a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid antagonist to your current type 2 diabetes and kidney disease medications (SGLT2i and ACEi/ARB) is cost-effective. It may help preserve kidney function and reduce heart risks.
