New pill combo aims to fight advanced kidney cancer
NCT ID NCT07489495
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This Phase 3 trial is testing whether adding the drug zanzalintinib to belzutifan helps people with advanced kidney cancer live longer and keep the cancer from growing. About 758 participants who have already tried standard treatments will receive either the combination or belzutifan alone. The study is currently recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- belzutifan and zanzalintinib (targeted therapy pills)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced kidney cancer who have run out of standard therapies, potentially helping them live longer and delay cancer growth.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage Phase 3 trial, so results are not guaranteed. The combination may not work better than belzutifan alone, and side effects from adding zanzalintinib could be more severe.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
