Renal cell cancer, also called kidney cancer, is a disease in which malignant cancer cells form in the tubules of the kidney. Some kidney tumors do not respond well to current treatments. A clinical trial led by Ramaprasad Srinivasan, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Investigator in the Urologic Oncology Branch, is researching a combination drug therapy for adults with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) or papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC).
The trial will take place at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and there is no cost for participation.
