Pre-surgery treatment for advanced kidney cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if a combination of targeted embolization, immunotherapy (Toripalimab), and a targeted therapy pill (Axitinib) can shrink advanced kidney cancer before surgery. It is for patients whose cancer has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes, or has limited spread elsewhere that can be removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced kidney cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes, or has limited spread that can be removed
- You have not had prior cancer treatment like chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapy
- Your cancer is measurable on scans and has not spread to the brain
- You are in generally good health (ECOG score 0 or 1)
- Your blood counts and organ function are within acceptable ranges
- You agree to use effective birth control during and for 3 months after treatment

This trial tests whether the drug toripalimab can prevent kidney cancer from coming back in people who have had their kidney and any visible metastases surgically removed. It focuses on patients with high-risk features or who had some metastatic spots taken out completely.
This study tests whether taking axitinib plus an immunotherapy drug (PD-1) before surgery can help people with kidney cancer live longer without the cancer coming back. It’s focused on people who have a higher-risk kidney tumor based on scans and pathology findings.
This study tests a combination of three drugs—atorvastatin, axitinib, and toripalimab—to treat advanced clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (a common type of kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be surgically removed). The drugs work by targeting blood vessel growth and boosting the immune system to fight cancer cells.
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 a combination of immunotherapy and targeted drugs (called IO/TKI) given before and after surgery for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (a type of kidney cancer). The goal is to shrink tumors and improve survival outcomes.
This trial tests whether starting immunotherapy (a type of medicine that helps your immune system fight cancer) right away, and delaying surgery to remove the kidney tumor, is a safe and effective approach for people with advanced kidney cancer that has spread. It may help you avoid or delay surgery while still controlling the cancer.
