NCT ID NCT02087852
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is creating a registry of DNA and health information from 750 people with kidney cancer, their family members, and healthy volunteers. Researchers will use this data to better understand the genetics of kidney cancer, with the goal of improving prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in the future. Participants provide a saliva sample for DNA and complete questionnaires about their health and family history.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this registry could help researchers find genetic links to kidney cancer, leading to better ways to prevent, detect, and treat the disease.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial. It collects data for future research, so there is no direct benefit to participants, and it may take years to produce actionable results.
