Clinical Trials for Kidney Cancer

STING Agonist and Personalized Ultra-fractionated Stereotactic Adaptive Radiotherapy in Combination With Checkpoint Inhibition for Patients With Metastatic Kidney Cancer (SPARK)

Investigational drug late phase

The trial is testing an investigational drug and is at least phase 2, suggesting that the drug has shown promise in phase 1 studies and might have a high chance of working well compared to other investigational drugs.

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with metastatic clear-cell RCC showing oligoprogression (1–3 lesions) after prior anti–PD-1/CTLA-4 therapy receive continued nivolumab plus PULSAR stereotactic adaptive radiotherapy to all progressing sites, with one lesion also injected intratumorally with the STING agonist IMSA101 (2′3′-cGAMP analog activating TMEM173 to induce type I IFNs) over five doses. Requires at least one safely injectable non-lung lesion; excludes progressive ultracentral/central chest lesions.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06601296

A Randomized, Phase 3, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of Pazopanib With or Without Abexinostat in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma(RENAVIV)

Investigational drug late phase

The trial is testing an investigational drug and is at least phase 2, suggesting that the drug has shown promise in phase 1 studies and might have a high chance of working well compared to other investigational drugs.

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic clear cell RCC, VEGF TKI–naive (allowing ≤1 prior line of cytokine or ICI), are randomized to pazopanib plus the pan–HDAC inhibitor abexinostat versus pazopanib alone. Abexinostat (HDAC class I/II inhibitor that may enhance VEGF-TKI sensitivity via HIF-1α downregulation) is given intermittently with continuous daily pazopanib; crossover to the combination is allowed at progression from the control arm.
