NCT ID NCT05782400

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study is looking for clues in blood, tumor tissue, and CT scans to help doctors choose the best first treatment for people with metastatic clear cell kidney cancer. Researchers will analyze genetic material and imaging features from 100 patients to see if they can predict who will respond well to different therapies. The goal is to move toward personalized treatment, but this is an early step to find promising patterns.

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 could lead to a way to predict which treatment works best for each person with metastatic kidney cancer, making therapy more personalized.

What could go wrong

This is an early exploratory study with only 100 participants. It aims to find patterns, not test a treatment, so it may not directly change care. Results need validation in larger studies.
