New hope for rare kidney cancer: targeted drug savolitinib faces off against standard therapy
Disease control OngoingThis phase 3 study compares a new drug, savolitinib, to the standard drug sunitinib in 60 people with a specific type of advanced kidney cancer called MET-driven papillary renal cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if savolitinib is better at stopping the cancer from growing and to…

Sound waves zap kidney tumors in new Non-Invasive trial
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a device that uses focused sound waves (histotripsy) to break apart kidney tumors without making any cuts. About 67 adults with a single small kidney mass (3 cm or less) that hasn't spread will be treated. The goal is to see if the tumors are completely gone afte…

Stitch-Free kidney surgery could speed recovery in new trial
Disease control OngoingThis study tests two ways to remove kidney tumors using robotic surgery: one that uses stitches to close the wound and one that skips stitches. About 248 adults with early-stage kidney cancer will take part. The goal is to see if the stitch-free method is just as safe and effecti…

Robot takes the scalpel: new study tests hugo system for cancer surgeries
Disease control OngoingThis study looks at how well a new robotic surgery system (Medtronic Hugo) works for urologic procedures like removing prostate, bladder, or kidney tumors. About 144 adults will have surgery with the robot, and doctors will check if the surgery is completed without switching to a…

New 3D guidance system aims to sharpen kidney cancer surgery
Disease control By invitation onlyThis study tests a surgical navigation system called RUS NE that turns CT scans into 3D models to help guide robot-assisted kidney tumor removal. Researchers will compare outcomes in 80 patients who use the system versus those who don't, looking at how much tissue is removed and …

New imaging tracer could spot kidney cancer without a needle
Diagnosis Expanded access (ended)This program gives patients with kidney masses access to a radioactive tracer called 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab, which is used with a PET/CT scan to detect clear cell renal cell carcinoma (a common kidney cancer) without surgery. The tracer attaches to a protein (CAIX) often found on …

New MRI method may spare kidney patients unnecessary biopsies
Diagnosis OngoingThis study tests whether a special MRI can tell the difference between harmless and cancerous kidney growths when standard CT scans cannot see fat. About 44 adults with kidney masses that have no visible fat on CT will get this advanced MRI. The goal is to see if the MRI can iden…

New scan could help doctors choose best treatment for kidney tumors
Diagnosis OngoingThis study tests whether a special type of scan called SPECT/CT can help doctors make better decisions about treating kidney tumors. The scan uses a radioactive tracer to see how tumors behave. Researchers will check if the scan changes what doctors recommend for 102 patients wit…

New MRI scan could predict kidney cancer aggressiveness without a biopsy
Diagnosis OngoingThis study tests a new type of MRI that uses a natural substance (pyruvate) to see how active a kidney tumor is. The goal is to find out if the scan can tell the difference between harmless tumors, slow-growing cancers, and fast-growing cancers without needing a needle biopsy. Ab…
