Blood tests could make kidney cancer drugs safer and more effective
NCT ID NCT04659343
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks drug levels in the blood of 200 people with advanced kidney cancer to see if monitoring can improve how well the drugs work and reduce side effects. Researchers will also look at how the body's immune system and genes affect treatment. The goal is to find better ways to personalize care for each patient.
