New cocktail of drugs shows promise for tough kidney cancer
NCT ID NCT05805501
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether combining newer immunotherapy drugs with a standard targeted therapy (axitinib) can safely control advanced kidney cancer. About 199 adults with untreated, advanced clear-cell renal cell carcinoma will receive one of three drug combinations. The main goal is to check for side effects and see how well the treatments work.
