New scan technique may reveal early if kidney cancer drugs are effective
NCT ID NCT01224288
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special type of CT scan (DCE-CT) can help doctors see if targeted therapy drugs for advanced kidney cancer are working. About 120 adults with metastatic renal cell carcinoma will get these scans before and shortly after starting treatment. The goal is to measure changes in tumor blood flow, which may indicate how well the drug is fighting the cancer.
