New drug cocktail aims to boost kidney cancer surgery success

NCT ID NCT07627464

First seen Jun 10, 2026

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving two drugs (anlotinib and benmelstobart) before surgery can improve outcomes for people with localized kidney cancer. About 144 participants will either receive the drug combo followed by partial nephrectomy, or surgery alone. The main goal is to see if the combo helps preserve kidney function and reduces complications.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 144 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The combination therapy may cause side effects and may not improve outcomes compared to surgery alone.
