First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding bicalutamide (a prostate cancer drug) to sunitinib (a standard kidney cancer drug) can help people whose kidney cancer has stopped responding to other targeted therapies. The trial will enroll 28 adults with advanced renal cell carcinoma. Researchers will check for side effects and measure if tumors shrink or disappear.

What this could lead to
