Kidney cancers

This early-stage trial tests a radioactive drug that seeks out and delivers radiation directly to cancer cells with a specific protein (somatostatin receptor). It is for adults with advanced lung, kidney, head and neck, digestive tract, or adrenal gland tumors that cannot be remo…

This early-stage study tests a new drug called NEO-811 in people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to find the safest dose and see how well the drug works. About 30 participants who have already tried other treatme…

This study tests a comprehensive fitness and nutrition program (prehabilitation) given before major cancer surgery. It includes 148 patients with pancreatic, ovarian, kidney, or bladder cancer who are frail or pre-frail. Some patients get the program alone, others get it with che…

Researchers are testing whether a drug called 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) can make kidney tumors glow under blue light during surgery. Adults with suspected kidney cancer take the drug by mouth before a partial nephrectomy, a procedure that removes part of the kidney. Surgeons …

This early-phase trial is testing a new radioactive imaging agent called 68Ga/18F-CAIX-LT-BCH to see if it can better detect clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a common type of kidney cancer. The study involves 3 participants who will receive the agent and undergo a PET/CT scan. Th…

This pilot study is testing whether it's practical to add an abdominal CT scan to the standard lung cancer screening for people aged 55-70 who have smoked. The goal is to see if this extra scan can detect kidney cancer, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and kidney stones without slowin…

Researchers at University Hospital, Strasbourg, are developing 3D tumor models grown from patient tissue to study kidney, bladder, and prostate cancers. The study collects tumor samples and a small blood sample from about 100 adults with these cancers. Scientists use the blood to…
