Digital symptom monitoring for people starting cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced clear-cell kidney cancer

Official title: Digital Monitoring of Self-reported Symptoms by Patients Treated With Cabozantinib Plus Nivolumab for Advanced Clear-cell Renal Carcinoma: The CANIQOL Multicentre Study

Run by Centre Francois Baclesse · NCT07028125 · Data updated 2026-11-12

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.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma who have not had prior systemic therapy and whose doctor has already decided to start cabozantinib plus nivolumab, who can use the digital reporting tool and meet local social security and contraceptive requirements.

Probably not a fit

Patients who cannot use the digital system, have non–clear-cell histology, have received prior systemic therapy for RCC, or are pregnant are unlikely to benefit from this monitoring approach.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults with advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma who are beginning first-line treatment with cabozantinib plus nivolumab will use a digital system to report symptoms weekly while receiving the approved combination regimen. The digital monitoring platform collects patient-reported outcomes focused on treatment tolerance and side effects for the first three months of therapy. Clinicians will use the incoming reports to inform symptomatic management and any treatment adjustments in real-life practice. All patients receive cabozantinib and nivolumab per local labeling and physician decision prior to enrollment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could help clinicians detect side effects earlier and adjust treatment to reduce toxicity and keep patients on effective therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Remote patient-reported outcome monitoring has improved symptom control and even survival in other metastatic cancer settings, although its use specifically with the cabozantinib plus nivolumab combination is less well studied.
