First seen Dec 16, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tested a combination of two immunotherapy drugs—aldesleukin (IL-2) and pembrolizumab—in 6 people with advanced kidney cancer that had spread. The goal was to find the safest dose and see if the combo could shrink tumors. The study was stopped early, so results are limited, but the approach aims to boost the immune system to better attack cancer cells.
