New drug combo tested to shrink tumors before kidney cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT05733715

Summary

This study is testing whether giving cancer drugs before surgery can help the immune system fight kidney cancer. About 30 patients with high-risk kidney cancer will receive either pembrolizumab alone or pembrolizumab combined with lenvatinib before their tumor is removed. The main goal is to see how these treatments affect immune cells in the blood and tumor, not to cure the cancer.
