First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving two drugs (pembrolizumab and axitinib) before surgery can shrink a tumor-related blood clot in the main vein of the abdomen in people with kidney cancer. The goal is to make surgery safer and improve long-term outcomes. About 17 adults with clear cell kidney cancer and a clot in the inferior vena cava will receive the drugs for 12 weeks before their planned kidney removal surgery.
