KIDNEY NEOPLASMS

This study looks at how well the drug vorolanib works for people with advanced kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It is for patients who need a second treatment after their first one stopped working. The study will track how long the cancer stays under…

This study is testing a new ultrasound imaging method called Contrast Enhanced Super-Resolution (CESR) to see if it can better detect and tell apart cancerous and non-cancerous lesions in the breast, liver, and kidney. It involves 40 participants: 10 healthy volunteers to fine-tu…

This study tests a new radioactive imaging agent called [18F]RCCB6 for PET/CT scans to see if it can better detect kidney cancer, especially the most common type, clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Researchers will enroll 300 adults with confirmed or suspected kidney cancer. The go…

This study looks at a rare inherited condition called Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome, which raises the risk of kidney cancer. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, and tissue samples from up to 950 participants to find the genes involved and understand how kidney tumors grow. Th…

This study looks at whether a simple blood test that finds bits of tumor DNA can help doctors monitor kidney cancer after surgery. Researchers will follow 450 people who have just been diagnosed with kidney cancer and are having surgery to remove it. The goal is to see if the blo…

This study looks at the genes of people with rare nervous system tumors called pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. Researchers want to find the genetic changes that cause these tumors and how they affect health. Up to 2,000 patients and their family members will provide DNA sampl…
