Drug therapy vs. drug therapy plus radiation for limited kidney cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding radiation to standard drug therapy helps control kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots (oligometastatic). It is for people with clear cell renal cell carcinoma who have up to 5 metastases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have 5 or fewer tumors that have spread, and they are in 3 or fewer organs.
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- Each tumor that has spread is 5 cm or smaller (about 2 inches).
- You have clear cell kidney cancer (the most common type).
- You are able to take care of yourself (ECOG 0-1) and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial tests whether combining focused radiation (SBRT) with anlotinib and bimepolizumab can shrink or slow kidney cancer that has spread and cannot be surgically removed. It's designed for people with a specific type of kidney cancer who are generally healthy enough to handle these treatments.
This trial tests whether targeted external-beam radiation (SBRT) can control a small number of progressing kidney cancer spots while you continue immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy. It may help shrink or stop those specific “oligoprogressive” lesions and prolong benefit from your current immunotherapy.
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.
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapy (axitinib) and immunotherapy (toripalimab) alongside stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for kidney cancer that has come back or spread. It may be an option if you have a limited number of metastatic tumors that can be treated with radiation.
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation to standard drug therapy can help people with a limited number of bladder or urinary tract cancer metastases. It's for those whose cancer has spread to a few spots that can be treated with full coverage radiation.
