All recruiting trials (16)

• Neoadjuvant immunotherapy with botensilimab and balstilimab for high-risk non-metastatic clear cell RCC

  This trial tests whether giving botensilimab and balstilimab before kidney tumor surgery is safe and helps patients with high‑risk non‑metastatic clear cell RCC proceed to nephrectomy.

  Recruiting at 5 sites Phase 2 National Cancer Institute (NCI) · Irvine, California and 4 other locations · NCT07516366

• 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.

  Recruiting Phase 2 Mayo Clinic · Rochester, Minnesota · NCT07510334

• Morning versus afternoon immunotherapy for advanced or metastatic solid tumors

  This trial tests whether giving standard immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in the morning versus the afternoon changes outcomes for adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

  Recruiting Phase 4 OHSU Knight Cancer Institute · Portland, Oregon · NCT07405086

• 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.

  Recruiting at 41 sites Phase 3 SWOG Cancer Research Network · Fayetteville, Arkansas and 40 other locations · NCT07383441

• Ivonescimab given before surgery for high-risk localized clear cell kidney cancer

  This study tests whether giving ivonescimab before nephrectomy helps patients with high-risk localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

  Recruiting Phase 2 City of Hope Medical Center · Duarte, California · NCT07226544

• 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.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Phase 1 City of Hope Medical Center · Duarte, California and 1 other locations · NCT07128680

• Adding CBM588 to pembrolizumab after surgery for kidney cancer

  This trial tests whether adding CBM588 to pembrolizumab after kidney cancer surgery helps prevent recurrence compared with pembrolizumab alone.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Phase 2 City of Hope Medical Center · Duarte, California and 1 other locations · NCT07037004

• 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.

  Recruiting Phase 1 University of California, San Francisco · San Francisco, California · NCT06942104

• 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.
