First seen Apr 22, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early-phase study tested two immunotherapy drugs (spartalizumab and canakinumab) given before surgery to 17 people with localized kidney cancer. The main goal was to see if the combination was safe and did not delay surgery. Researchers also looked at how the drugs affected the immune system and tumor size. The trial was not designed to cure the disease, but to gather safety and immune data.
