Summary

This study tests whether folic acid supplements can reduce mucositis (painful sores in the mouth, nose, throat, or other areas) in people with advanced kidney cancer who are on targeted therapy or immunotherapy. About 100 participants will receive either folic acid or a placebo, and neither they nor their doctors will know which they get. The goal is to see if folic acid can ease these side effects and improve quality of life.
