Cadonilimab and Lenvatinib in advanced kidney cancer
This study tests whether Cadonilimab plus Lenvatinib can help adults with unresectable, advanced renal cell carcinoma, especially clear cell type, after prior treatments.
-
QLESP Block to Ease Pain After Robot-Assisted Kidney Surgery
Doctors are testing a ultrasound-guided nerve block called QLESP to see if it lowers pain and reduces strong pain medicines after robotic partial nephrectomy in adults.
-
Registry of Minimally Invasive Cancer Treatments Using Spectral Angio-CT Guidance
This registry collects data from adults undergoing image-guided, minimally invasive cancer treatments to see if spectral angio-CT guidance helps predict outcomes and improve planning.
-
Bone density changes with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy
This pilot will test if anti-PD-1 immunotherapy changes bone density in adults starting approved anti-PD-1 treatment for certain early-stage cancers.
-
Galectin-3 levels and outcomes with PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in kidney, bladder, lung, and liver cancer
This study tests whether blood galectin‑3 levels before treatment predict outcomes for people with kidney, bladder, lung, or liver cancer who are starting PD‑1/PD‑L1 immunotherapy.
-
Template lymph node surgery plus kidney removal vs kidney removal alone for high-risk kidney cancer
In people with high-risk kidney cancer, this study tests whether removing a broader set of lymph nodes during kidney removal helps people live longer and have their cancer stay away longer compared with removing only a few affected nodes.
-
Patient-partnered look at fear of cancer returning after kidney cancer surgery
This project will work with people who had kidney cancer surgery and their partners to see if patient-led questions, timing, and digital methods can better identify fear that the cancer will come back.
-
177Lu-TLX250 for advanced relapsed or recurrent clear-cell kidney cancer
This will test whether 177Lu-TLX250, a CAIX-targeting radioligand, helps adults with CAIX-positive advanced or relapsed clear-cell kidney cancer who have had 2–3 prior therapies.
-
Abdominal CT offered alongside lung screening for people who have smoked
We will test whether mentioning a possible extra abdominal CT in the lung screening invitation changes whether people aged 55–70 who have ever smoked attend their lung screening appointment.
-
CT-based AI to predict outcomes after kidney cancer surgery
This project will try CT-based AI models to predict post-surgery outcomes for adults treated for kidney cancer.
-
A kidney cancer prediction model to guide treatment decisions, including for patients with tumor thrombus
This project will test whether a new prediction model can guide treatment choices to improve survival for adults with renal cell carcinoma, including those with venous tumor thrombus.
-
111In-XYIMSR-01 SPECT/CT to find metastatic clear-cell kidney cancer
This trial tries a radioactive tracer called 111In-XYIMSR-01 during a SPECT/CT scan to see if it can find metastatic clear-cell kidney cancer in adults.
-
Digital symptom monitoring for people starting cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced clear-cell kidney cancer
This project tests whether weekly digital self-reports of symptoms can help guide treatment management for adults beginning cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced clear-cell kidney cancer during the first three months.
-
Combining systemic therapy with stereotactic body radiotherapy for kidney cancer with limited spread
This study is testing if adding a special type of radiation therapy to standard treatment can help people with kidney cancer that has spread a little bit live longer and feel better.
-
Testing KO-2806 for advanced solid tumors
This study is testing a new treatment called KO-2806 for adults with advanced solid tumors that have certain genetic changes to see if it can help them feel better.
-
Analyzing solid tumors for HLA loss and collecting T cells for CAR T-cell therapy
This study is testing how often solid tumors lose a key protein that helps the immune system recognize them, while also collecting T cells from patients with high-risk cancers to prepare for future CAR T-cell therapy.
