NCT ID NCT04393350
First seen Apr 26, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving two drugs—lenvatinib and pembrolizumab—before surgery can shrink tumors in people with advanced kidney cancer that hasn't spread to other organs. About 18 participants will receive the drugs for 12 weeks, then have surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to see how many patients have a significant reduction in tumor size. This approach aims to make surgery more effective and potentially improve long-term outcomes.
