S0931 Trial Summary

This trial is studying everolimus to see how effective it is in treating kidney cancer patients who have undergone surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've had surgery for kidney cancer, with no remaining or spreading cancer detectable by CT/MRI scans. They should be in good physical condition (Zubrod status 0-1), have proper organ function, and not be pregnant. Participants must use effective contraception and be able to take oral medications. Those with heart disease, severe liver impairment, HIV, uncontrolled diabetes or cholesterol levels, allergies to everolimus components, or other recent cancers are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of Everolimus in preventing kidney cancer from returning after surgery. Patients will either receive Everolimus or a placebo (a pill without active medication) to compare outcomes between the two groups.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Everolimus may cause side effects like mouth sores, infections due to a weakened immune system, lung problems such as coughing and shortness of breath, elevated blood sugar and cholesterol levels, skin issues like rash or acneiform dermatitis.
