All recruiting trials (13)
-
Casdatifan for refractory metastatic clear cell kidney cancer
This pilot, first-in-human study tests whether taking casdatifan by mouth can help people with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma that has not responded to prior therapies.
-
Imaging study to see how the imaging agent distributes in metastatic clear cell RCC
This imaging study tests an imaging agent in adults with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma to see how it spreads and what dose is needed.
-
CD70-Targeted Imaging-Guided Pause of Therapy in Metastatic Clear Cell RCC
This study tests whether patients with metastatic clear cell RCC who respond to first-line PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors plus VEGFR-TKI can safely pause treatment guided by CD70-targeted Immuno-PET/CT imaging.
-
VSV-IFNβ-NIS plus ipilimumab and nivolumab for advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma
This trial adds a virus-based therapy (VSV-IFNβ-NIS) to standard immunotherapy (ipilimumab and nivolumab) to see if it helps people with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer.
-
Adding a probiotic to standard immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding MO-03 probiotic to standard immunotherapy helps people with advanced or metastatic clear cell kidney cancer.
-
Nivolumab and ipilimumab with or without EXL01 for advanced or metastatic clear-cell and sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma
This trial tests whether adding EXL01, a live Faecalibacterium prausnitzii product, to nivolumab and ipilimumab helps adults with advanced or metastatic clear-cell or sarcomatoid renal cell cancer.
-
Casdatifan plus cabozantinib versus placebo plus cabozantinib for advanced clear cell kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding casdatifan to cabozantinib helps adults with advanced or metastatic clear cell kidney cancer who progressed after PD‑1 or PD‑L1 immunotherapy.
-
Using 18F-TRX to image solid tumors
This trial tests whether the 18F-TRX PET tracer can detect tumors in adults with advanced solid tumors such as high‑grade glioma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, or metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer.
-
Inulin gel plus ipilimumab and nivolumab for advanced kidney (renal cell) cancer
This trial tests whether adding an inulin gel to the immunotherapy drugs ipilimumab and nivolumab helps people with locally advanced or metastatic clear cell or sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma.
-
Radiopharmaceutical treatment for advanced kidney cancer using 177Lu-PSMA-617
This study tests whether 177Lu-PSMA-617 can help adults with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma that has progressed after immunotherapy and a VEGFR-TKI.
-
Predicting how tumors respond to immune therapies using a live diagnostic platform
This study is testing a new way to predict how well immune therapies will work for patients with different types of solid tumors, including early-stage and metastatic cancers.
-
Genetic testing to choose the best treatment for advanced kidney cancer
This study is testing if using genetic testing to pick the best treatment can help people with advanced kidney cancer respond better to either a combination of immunotherapy drugs or a mix of immunotherapy and targeted therapy.
-
Comparing immunotherapy with and without kidney surgery for metastatic kidney cancer
This study is testing whether adding kidney surgery to a standard immunotherapy treatment can help people with advanced kidney cancer live longer and feel better.
