New hope for kidney cancer patients whose tumors return after immunotherapy
NCT ID NCT07049926
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests experimental drug combinations for people with advanced kidney cancer (clear cell type) that came back during or within 2 years of finishing immunotherapy. About 140 participants will receive these combinations to see if they are safe and can shrink tumors. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it, as ongoing treatment is expected.
